IMO it would be a good idea to get a dog and take it for walks twice daily. It will motivate you and provide an opportunity to aid in your child's focus (holding the leash of a dog has a way of keeping you focused on the task no matter what until it is over). Also, it is a people magnet. Someone will talk to you, every day just because dog.

A dog has been on the docket for years now. It's never been the right time. Maybe!
