It was a hard choice to make. :-/ But she'll be much better off with someone at home more often, with a backyard and a more active lifestyle/running with her. She was mainly black lab with some chow and pitbull so I took her to the dog park for a good 90 minutes every other day to keep her energy levels in check and not destroy the apartment too much haha.
We've got three of them in the isocket office - you're welcome to visit and get your dog fix anytime. Especially if you stop by after our product launch this week so we can do another usability testing session. It's come a long way since you saw it last :)
One thing I considered was living in San Mateo or even Mountain View where you can rent a room in a house with a yard and keep your dog. If you must be in SF, then find a roommate and rent a townhouse with a yard in Potrero Hill.
All easier said than done, but I could never leave my dog.
I moved to Seattle with my dog, from Indiana.
She's anything but a city dog, and I think the next time I drive home, she'll be coming with me; I'll give her to a friend or my sister.
As dog-friendly as Seattle is, there are definitely dogs that can't do the city.
