DogBusiness

The renters below me own two dogs that have been causing mad problems. After leaving them a "nice" letter instructing them on how to teach a dog how to not bark excessively while indoors & no action on their part...    I've had been forced to listen to these yappy pricks for the past two months now. And Yes... I understand that I live in an apartment complex. There are lots of noises that a renter will inevitably have to suffer through. For instance: showers running, children crying, children playing, parties, dogs barking/crying on occasion, neighbors throwing orgies, meth heads cooking up their next batch etc. However, there's always that fine line. When my sleep is interrupted at 730-0800am (on weekends, or after pulling an "all nighter" studying)... then there are going to be some problems. Listening to intermittent, doggy spazz attacks until 9-10pm is unacceptable. Especially when I'm a full-time prenursing major who does nothing but study all day & maintain a 4.0 b/c getting into nursing school is more competitive than applying for med school.

Dog's are not accessories people! If you're going to have one, you better be prepared to obedience train them. If I and numerous other renters (this is Denver so almost everyone owns a dog) are able to train their dogs not to excessively bark indoors, then I expect you to be able to do the same. Especially if an irritated neighbor placed instructions at your door on how to train a dog not to bark...   Free of charge by the way!

I hate complaining about issues to other people. I avoid complaining about issues/processes b/c it makes me feel bitchy... and I don't like being a bitch... I want to be liked. But I had to put my own nonsense, habits aside and do what I had to do. I got into bitch mode during my last call to the complex office (after numerous calls over the 2month period). They finally gave me the solution I was looking for. They will fine these people $100 every time their dogs go on an all-day barking spree. Apparently, bitchy pays off!
