Apartment Life #347

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 25 years that I'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 26 years here in a weekly blog post.

I have new neighbors on one side of my apartment. On day one they have been playing their music really loudly, having loud screaming matches at 1AM with their door open. They have been pounding on something in the bedroom which I can hear all night long because our bedrooms are just separated by a thin wall. I've had to wear foam earplugs at night just to get some sleep. 

So a few of us neighbors got together and wrote emails to the apartment office complaining about the new neighbors. Hopefully they will get a warning or something because this is ridiculous. Anymore loud fights and I'll be calling the police.

A couple of weeks ago a large pitbull came out of the courtyard in the last building of my apartment complex. He was off leash and came right at Falcor. Thankfully he wasn't aggressive but Falcor is not friendly to large dogs and that can set off another dog to be aggressive. It was 5AM and I was standing near the entrance of that courtyard screaming "Who's f*cking off leash dog is that" At the top of my lungs after I picked Falcor up to keep him away from the other dog. No one came outside. But I was pretty sure the dog belonged to the guy upstairs. The dog ran off so I left. 

A few days later the same thing happened and the dog ran upstairs and right into that upstairs apartment that I thought he belonged to. Then this week at 10PM I see Animal Control going to that upstairs apartment. I was across the street and watched as the Animal Control lady was taking pictures of a metal dog crate right next to the guys door. The dog was in it and barking his head off. There were two neighbors standing outside and they told me they called because the dog has been in the metal crate outside barking for a couple of days. It's been cold here so why is he keeping the dog outside in a cage?

The Animal Control lady ended up getting yelled at by the guy and he kept slamming his door on her. I didn't see what happened as I had to get Falcor back inside because it was cold out. But I haven't heard the dog barking at all or seen him so I think Animal Control took the dog. He sure wasn't taking care of it. 

The high this week was 61F/16C

The low this week was 35F/1C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
