I am trying to use enumeration in a text. It would look like in this example:

> 
> "Among pets the most common ones are (i) dogs, (ii) cats and (iii)
> rabbits.  
> 
> (i) Dogs are very nice animals. However they need to be walked several
> times a day....[continuous long passage spreading over multiple lines]
> 
> 
> (ii) Cats are often considered easier animals but....
> 
> 
> [...]
> "
> 
> 
> 

I guess I will not need to refer to each passage more than once, so I can also just type out the brackets and the numbers. However, just typing "(ii)" doesn't seem very nice when using LaTeX. Is there an easy and more elegant way to enumerate like in the example?
