I’ve moved nine times. I never unpack... Boston was supposed to be three months. A beige apartment, a view of the harbor, and my Newfoundland, Pickles, who weighs about as much as I do and listens to nobody. Then Pickles knocked my new neighbor flat in the lobby. Six-foot-four.

Now my dog has one summer to prove he belongs in this building, and the only person who can keep him calm is the man on the other side of my bedroom wall. The wall is very thin...

In Carraway, Colorado, the dog park has three rules: pick up after your pet, keep them leashed until you reach the run, and don't dig up the town councilman.
