If the wife makes me go to the burbs, however, I may get a dog asap. My uncle's got a wonderful lab which he uses as an excuse to leave the house for long walks... to the pub. I hear dogs are a great cure for screamin children in this regard...

There are several really smart breeds. Some though are only smart at what they're bred for--labs, for example, are brilliant at retrieving, but lord are they stupid for anything else.
Watch out for the big smart ones, however--they can completely rule your household. Or at least have the brains to destroy only something valuable when you tick them off.
