When I rented an apartment next to a house with a young golden retriever named Zoe, we thought that was a sign. As she was packing and settling everything back home, she was frantically searching for a puppy. My fiancée wasn't as crazy about leaving. If you write for a living, it's good to keep moving. As part of the deal, we had to move to Los Angeles and leave everyone behind: Our friends, our family, my teams, the things we loved, everything. I was thinking of taking a job writing for a television show. Unwilling to raise a puppy on the concrete streets of Boston, we decided to wait until we moved. We loved the thought of rescuing a mutt, but we worried about getting one with "I hate kids" DNA, and we wanted to have kids. We loved golden retrievers, but my father had two and we didn't want to copy him. We loved Newfoundlands, but their back legs go too fast. We loved Great Danes, but they never seem to live long enough. Before I proposed to my girlfriend, we had already discussed getting a dog.
