Tanzanite,
Pets are wonderful - although I'd rather call them "companions" than "pets". We have a dog, and over the years she has become our soulmate. When you have something that gives pure and unconditional love it requires you to reach out beyond yourself. They totally depend on you for lots of things. It brings the best out in you. I totally recommend a dog - they are soulfully interactive, and bring you into the outdoors - where we all need to be at times.
If you can all swing it financially, I would really recommend it. As long as you can provide it with a safe environmnet emotionally, and when they can get lots of exercise. Dogs can always be taken in by friends, family etc if you go away. You can bring them most places (at least here in California), the only problem being airplanes.
Well the best of luck to you in any case.
Jon
