The holidays are getting close so please remember Just remember if your thinking of getting a pet for your or your kids most pets are a 5+ year commitment. Remember this animal will also your your responsibility not just the kids. If your kids decided to stop taking care of the animal the animal is your responsibility. There are so many pets who get bounced from home to home, left in shelters, and abandoned because parents get pets for their kids or themselves then they get rid of them because the kids stop caring for them, they realize how much work it is, for they just don't want them anymore.
If your not 100% sure on getting a pet I highly recommend fostering for a rescue. (And yes rescues and shelters have puppies too as young as 8 weeks.) That way you can learn the responsibility of having a pet without actually having to own that pet.
Remember to do lots of research on the type of pet you plan to get. For example pet store cages are way to small for rabbits and carrots aren't that great for rabbits either because they have a lot of sugar in them.
