I have this barking dog diary...

Lol yet another person outside the door of my building asking me about the barking dog.

I swear I do not lol about or loiter. I am full of purpose as I lock my door and walk down the flight of stairs to the front door.

The other day a man was peering through our building's front door window. I mean... if his nose could have gone through that window. Wow!

He asked me if there were any rentals in the building. I said you can contact Townhouse Management as they are the property managers. They have sponsor units and they have an amazing turnaround on those. Boy are they making money, the people just leave.

He looked questioningly. I said oppressive cigarette smoke in the hallways and elevators, coming through the floors, a barking dog and an assortment of bugs of which bed bugs is currently taking the leading role.

He said barking dog? People told me not to come to this building because of the barking dog.

The guy walked with me from York Avenue to Lexington Avenue subway stop. We were still talking. He thanked me. I told him about Solil Management and above-mentioned property manager, the differences, what to look out for and how one might be able to get a good apartment from either despite everything.

He thanked me.

You know, I thought, I was having kind of an anxiety attack when I was talking about how they handled the bed bugs. It sure was trauma.

The barking dog?

LOL here is one of my entries in the barking dog diary

noon
still barking 2:50pm
4:24pm
5:08P
6:45
6:50
7:04
7:15
7:45 barking in the hallway

The dog gives a loud dog bark, then series of bark,bark,bark and something like a fizzle out to finalize his barking production. Each time period for the loud bark is listed below. Sometimes the bark performance takes the entire time slot, sometimes it does not. There is no atypical diary entry. Sometimes the slot is from 3:00pm to 7:00pm non-stop. The new next door neighbor said she would sign my letter to the ASPA.

I previously asked the barking dog's owner why not take the dog to some of those lovely dog day cares. They seem to have fun and receive training. He said he had already done so and they have paid loads for the dog's training. He blames it on the dog next door.

My new neighbor says what dog next door? She owns a dog. It barks when the little girl down the hall starts playing and crying in the hallway. She gets her pooch started up barking. However it never goes on for more than a couple of minutes.

Perhaps I'll print out this aspa link on barking dog and tack it on to our first floor notice board; that should make tons of people in the apartments above quite happy.
