This idea, or something very close, was actually mentioned a ways back. It was sadly shot down as giving people the power of choice is a bad thing for those that think they're way is the only right way.

Personally, I think it's the way to go, call your pet you suffer a stat drain as maintaining the link to your pet takes effort. Don't call it and your stats are normal. Your pet makes up for it w/ AAs of it's own as well as some unique abilities that you can have it use.
