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 go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 25 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 25 years here in a weekly blog post.
The big problem this week has been the offleash dogs. There have been so many of them. The homeless drug addicts have a large black pitbull with them that they have offleash all the time. I don't even walk that way anymore because of the dog.
A lady who lives across the street has a black and white pitbull that she's been letting offleash and she's been aggressive to other dogs. I've already called Animal Control once and they won't even come out because they are overwhelmed at the shelter with too many dogs and no more room for anymore right now.
Then there was a German Sheppard out loose in the neighborhood. Thankfully none of the dogs have come close to me and Falcor and I haven't had to scare them away with the taser but I've had it on me just in case.

Our property manager sent out notices this week that they want all tables, chairs, plants, privacy curtains, bbq's, and anything else outside or outside the door removed by Friday or they would be put in the dumpster. No one removed a thing and nothing was done. They've put out notices like that before and I think residents know that they won't do anything. My daughter has a small garden she made by our door and when I asked the manager about it when I saw them walking around, she said she wanted it removed because it was directly in the soil and not in planters. But they didn't remove it and neither did we. We'll see what happens.
It's not like it's big and obtrusive. it's small, has a tiny fence around it with fairy lights. It's cute and they complained about it. My daughter is growing cilantro, radishes, micro greens, chamomile and some flowers.
