<font color="purple">I've had a guinea pig before, and they are REALLY easy to take care of- even if you don't have expirience with them. If you are going to get a cat though- I actualy would not suggest a siamese, because although they are playful...they aren't exactly the cuddly type, 2 of my cats are part siamese, and they really HATE being picked up (or even petted...unless it's on te head) it was the same way with my neighbor's siamese cats. Some cats though are so cuddly- you swear that nobody ever told them they were a cat!

I would suggest a dog that has been bred for good temperment (that's if you want a purebreed) or if you are going to adopt- then a dog that is good with kids (I'm not sure how it works in Canada, but in the US before you adopt a dog, they specificly tell you if the dog is not good with kids/other animals)</font>
