"   Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield spent much of the past year being adorable together, so it&amp;#039;s only natural that they take the next step in their relationship: Adoption. Whoa, adoption?  Yep, The Amazing Spider-Man co-stars adopted a dog\u2014a golden retriever they named Ren\u2014from L.A.-based Spot! Dog Rescue earlier this month. &amp;quot;They totally fell in love with her,&amp;quot; a source said of the pup. All together now: Awww! We love Emma and Andrew\u2014and we really, really love dogs, but we have to question whether or not it&amp;#039;s a good idea to adopt an animal together before getting married or cohabitating for a few years.  Don&amp;#039;t get us wrong: We hope they get married and have adorable\u2014and talented\u2014kids together. We&amp;#039;ve just watch more than one long-term couple adopt an animal together to test whether or not they&amp;#039;re ready to become a family. And then they split.  A dog makes a split a whole lot more painful, too: It brings up questions of custody issues\u2014who gets the pet? Will there be visitation? Or, worse: The dog goes back to the rescue. It&amp;#039;s become such a problem that many animal rescues are now asking potential adopters to fill out a form designating who gets the pup after a split. An awkward conversation for sure, but you&amp;#039;re probably not ready to adopt if you&amp;#039;re not willing to discuss it before adopting that adorable Lab. Tell us: Do you think it&amp;#039;s okay to adopt a pet before tying the knot or getting engaged? Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter.
