This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 21 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 21 years here in a weekly blog post.
This week was quiet but we have a new next door neighbor who just moved in directly next door to us. They seem nice and they're quiet but they have a large dog that barks and howls the entire time they are gone during the day. I am hoping that the dog gets used to his new place and will stop howling all day soon. I feel so bad for the dog. I almost want to be like, Hey, I'll come pet your dog for you while you're gone if you want. lol Poor pup.
There have been a lot of police patrolling my neighborhood lately. Seems like every time I go outside to walk the dog there's a police car driving slowly down my street. Not that I'm complaining at all. I think we need more patrolling around here to keep the nonsense to a minimum. I haven't been seeing as may drug deals on the streets or as many cars being broken into or even as many fights going on. Quiet is nice.

Life Update:
Ken did finally get his lung biopsy but they punctured his lung so he had to stay in the hospital a few hours longer than expected to make sure his lung didn't collapse. So now we have to wait until next month when he sees his doctor for the test results and hopefully start treatment.
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Hi Mary, I agree with you, think the dog will stop howling when he gets used to the new situation. 🙂
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteI'm glad the new neighbors are nice, but like you, I sure hope he gets used to his new home soon. Continuing to keep Ken in prayer and sending lots of hugs. RO
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so.
DeleteI do hope the dog settles - and quickly.
ReplyDeleteGlad Ken's lung didn't collapse and hope that the treatment starts soon.
I hope so too.
DeleteAs long as people are still intimidated by
ReplyDeletepolice cars - then that's a good sign .
Your priority , of course, is Ken. May he have good results and successful treatments!
Thank you.
DeleteI'm glad there is some patrolling going on, a quiet week is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice.
DeleteHow unfortunate about the dog. And a punctured lung for Ken, on top of everything? The doctors need to start his treatment soon, for goodness' sake.
ReplyDeleteI know. It's really irritating me that they haven't yet.
DeleteSorry about the new, noisy dog next door. And poor Ken. I hope he's hanging in there. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a cute dog so I hope he settles down soon. Ken is indeed hanging in there. Thank you.
DeleteI hope the new neighbors dog will settle down soon and get used to the new house. That doesn't sound nice for the dog or the neighbors if he's howling most of the day.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear they punctured Ken's lung while doing that biopsy, I hope he's doing well and that his treatment can start soon.
I feel bad for the dog. Hopefully Ken will have some news soon.
DeleteThere 'nice and quiet' until you really get to know them, lol. Yeah noisy dogs are rough.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. lol
DeleteA barking dog can be annoying so hopefully it will adjust to the new surroundings. I hope Ken will have some news soon. It seems you always have to wait a long time before you can get the results of a test.
ReplyDeleteYeah the waiting is just awful.
DeletePoor lonely dog, and poor you having to listen to it! I hope you get some good news about Ken!
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the dog.
DeleteOh good grief the puncture. I hope Ken is feeling ok.
ReplyDeletehe's doing alright now.
DeleteIts good to see police patrolling your neighborhood, we need more of that. When I lived in Dallas it always brought comfort to me since I didn't live in the safetest of neighborhoods. Sorry to hear about Ken, it just never seems to end for you two, hope you get some good news soon!! Prayers and thoughts for you two.
ReplyDeleteThings seemed to have quieted down around here a lot. I think a lot of the trouble makers moved away.
DeleteIt's good to have nice neighbors. I hope all goes well for you and Ken.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteSending good vibes
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteQuiet is good. Hopefully the neighbors' dog calms down soon, that would be so annoying good grief.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Ken's biopsy results. Hang in there you guys! Thinking of you. be well.
Thank you.
DeleteDo you think Covid has anything for neighbor being not as active
ReplyDeleteYa know, I didn't think of that. It might be.
DeleteAs if Ken isn't going through enough, they decide to torture him too...unreal! I hope you get some promising news from the biopsy result. I am glad that something is finally being done about law and order where you live and I hope it continues.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope so too.
DeleteLooks like the police patrols are effective in cutting crime and keeping the area quieter. Hope that continues!
ReplyDeleteA punctured lung sounds serious, but I gather that's not usually the case. Good luck with the test results.
It was a small needle to it healed on its own.
DeleteHope the pup gets used to his new home soon!! And I'm glad Ken is okay after his biopsy, but sorry there were complications.

Poor Ken, a punctured lung along with everything else. I'll keep my fingers crossed that good test results come back to you quickly
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that it's been quieter around your neighborhood. What a relief! Having to hear barking all day and night can be annoying. Hopefully it stops. Wishing healing to Ken and your family Mary :)
