I’ve Got Rotten Neighbors

You know the kind of neighbors that do what they want and feel that instead of living in an apartment that they’re chillin’ in their palatial estate. You know, they come out onto the terrace and cause a ruckus when their friends come over, they smoke and you can’t even slide your terrace door open in the summer because some of their smoke ALWAYS wafts over towards your window and then you have to inhale it. They are the ones who have pets and think that even people who don’t have pets wants to be bothered with them. I wrote a letter to my neighbor. I’m going to print it out next week and mail it. I’m tired and so are other people. Here’s the letter. Feel free to use it if you ever encounter the same problemo:
Just so you know, it is a consensus among the neighbors of how much of a nuisance the treatment of your dog is becoming. We can’t for the life of us understand why if you have a dog or wanted one that you leave it out on the terrace in the 90 degree heat, frigid cold in the wintertime and have it whining and yelping all afternoon long with a total disregard to those who live over you, next to you and across the yard from you. In case you weren’t sure, you live in an apartment. Your terrace isn’t actually the backyard of your own personal home or sprawling estate, meaning that even people who don’t want dogs still has to hear yours all afternoon and as late as almost 10pm at night and it’s annoying to the point that we have already contacted animal abuse (be on the lookout they’re coming to pay you a visit) and the next step is to call the local precinct. Maybe your dog doesn’t match the furniture anymore or maybe you just shampooed your carpets and don’t want him inside, but either way, YOU HAVE A DOG, so, give all of us who pay rent at ****** a break, will you? How would you like to sit outside with a fur coat on in 90 degree weather with no water bowl? Show some decency or empathy. But you probably won’t do that, because decent people don’t do what you’ve been doing to their pets, do they? In the meantime we’re hoping that if we can get enough signatures that you will be ousted from the apartment altogether. Sadly that won’t help your dog receive better treatment, in the event that you decide to move someplace else, but at least we can open our terrace doors without hearing the constant yapping, yelping and feeling the utter pity that settles in the bottom of our stomaches for having to listen to a helpless animal being treated the way you treat yours.
