Get a dog. More specifically, adopt a lab puppy — preferably one described on her paperwork (which you don’t get until *after* you sign to take her home, hmmmm) as “hyper” and “mouthy”. Bonus points if you adopt her even though she climbs on to and stands on the table as you are signing the forms. Make sure she is a lab — with a chewing quotient that is off the charts and more potential for damage than a three-assed toad. Bring her home, where you both do much of your work. Have to keep buying crates because she grows out of them. Add two cats, lots of deadlines, little sleep, financial pressures, furniture and stir.

If your relationship lasts six months after the day you brought her home, it’s as good as eloping. You now have a family.
