We — well, really just me — have been giving some thought as to whether our family is ready for a pet.  There are so many great reasons to have a pet as part of your family.  And now that my boys are school age, I think that it would be nice to have a dog.  But getting a dog as a pet is a big commitment and, honestly, I’m just not 100% sure that we are really ready.
Then I came across Parents.com‘s Quiz: Are you ready for a dog?  And you know what?  Apparently, we aren’t ready for a four-legged addition to our family.  Perhaps a goldfish instead?
