Last week she got to go see one of her best friend's new puppy.
I keep telling her that one day she can have a puppy, but now is not the right time.

We had a dog and 4 cats living in our house at one point and years later had one of those cats (she lived to be 21) in the house with 4 much younger dogs. Yes, we are insane people. With our one dog, he was clearly alpha and as long as the cats accepted that, he put up with them. None of them liked each other, but they realized nobody was going anywhere.
When we had the four dogs, we kept the cat upstairs and the dogs downstairs with a baby gate so they wouldn't bother her. Very rarely did we have issues. Kirsten will learn to adjust or get out of the way if she needs to. I don't know what you get out of that other cat if nobody can touch it, so I'd find that one another home if you can't deal with separating 3 animals, but seriously more than likely with a puppy on it's one with two cats, it probably would quickly realize it was outnumbered and leave the cats alone.
Along the lines of what Dear Addilyn said about thinking about the future, if Emily died a year from now would you be okay in denying her a dog she desperately wanted simply so you could make sure a 14 year old cat was happy? If not, I'd consider getting her the dog and figuring out how to deal with it even if she only has a larger outdoor dog.
Personally, I wouldn't let my kids have a dog until they are 15 or 16 - old enough where they can take care of him/her almost 100%. Dogs are like having another child except you can't take them off on your taxes - and they're expensive (their crate, basic supplies, grooming, vet bills, food, flea & heartworm meds, etc). Housetraining them, getting them used to being around other dogs, obedience classes is also a big commitment. While our dog lays around alot (he's laying at my feet now), he needs so much attention (unlike most cats) and there are a lot of times I can't even read on our couch because he's poking me with the ball the entire time. I love him to pieces and wouldn't trade him, he is a lot of work. I guess it just depends if you want another child and have alot of time on your hands : ) I have to note too that I'm more of a Type A person so I don't go with the flow very easily - I have had to relax my cleaning standards because of dog hair, nose prints on the door glass, water dripped all over the floor when he drinks, etc. I'm sure these things aren't a big deal to a lot of people but I'm getting better!
Good luck and keep us posted!
Came to you from Kelly's blog. My two cents for what it's worth is to get a rescue dog that's already housebroken, not a puppy! Puppies are waaaaay too much work and there are so many cute dogs that need a home. To me that would be a good compromise. If she likes the cuteness of a little puppy just look for a smaller breed dog. They're not quite as expensive as far as food, and supplies go also. That's my suggestion.
Good luck!
