Anyway, there are specific things in our lease regarding the pets. One of them is that if you have a dog you are not allowed to keep them tethered outside unattended.
Master and I will sit on our porch with our dog tethered up. But we never, ever leave him unattended. It isn't that we're afraid that he'll do anything, but it's just we don't know what other people or animals will do. That and it's just responsible as a pet owner to do that.
We have two neighbors that tether their dogs on their porches and just sit in the apartment for hours on end. At first no one saw fit to complain about it but it has gotten worse and worse.
Now the two neighbors that do this have let them shit and piss all over their portion of the lawn. One of the dogs could almost reach the main sidewalk in between the two apartment buildings and would basically charge it if anyone was walking by.
Now today a new neighbor was trying to walk her dog back and one of the dogs literally made it half way out into the sidewalk. The new neighbor stood there, backed up and held her dog up so that nothing could happen. She stood there frozen. Master and I both stood up and walked over there telling the dog that was tethered to back up so she could get through.
The neighbor that owns that dog finally came out to gather his dog up and I told him that he should shorten the lead as she literally made it half way onto the sidewalk.
As we walked back to where we were sitting with our friends we were all pissed. If they keep this shit up the landlord may just decide that some people can't be responsible pet owners that they just won't allow animals anymore. Fuck that.
So one of our friends/neighbors is going to be calling the landlord tomorrow. I will also be typing up a letter and mailing it to the landlord depending on what the landlord says to our friend.
It's oh so much fun. I just don't want to assholes fucking it up for the rest of us.
