Now that you have decided upon a pet, (you are sure, right?) will you be able to take good care of him/her. Do you have the financial ability to pay for food, care, shots, etc. Where do you live? Will he/here be happy there? These questions should all be answered. Things should be considered such as room-can't get a big pet, if you don't have the space. You will end up with unhappy pet, and eventually unhappy you.
What about time constraints. Some pets will require lots of attention-not only pats on back, and playing ball, but also serious care. Will you be available if your dog breaks a leg? Not to say you should be home with the pet all the time, but if you go on long business trips, and are forced to be gone weeks at a time, maybe you should reconsider your descision.
hmmmm, i think we now know for sure if we're gonna get a pet-- NEXT
