Progress

A plan has been made.

When Junior got off of work today, I had him take me down to the management company so I could discuss things with them. I walked in, and the receptionist asked if she could help me, and I told her I wanted to talk to someone about my neighbor. As I was speaking, a woman walked from the back hallway, and asked if I was there about the dog. I said I was, so she took me into her office so we could talk.

I told her that I hated to complain, but that something needed to be done. She knew what I was talking about; apparently she had spoken to Junior on the phone the other day. She said that she had spoken to her husband (the guy who owns the company) and they decided to come out on Tuesday to check our water meter. While there, they would happen to "notice" dog poop, and knock on the neighbors door. She said this would be a good way for them to not know that we complained. I told her that I didn't care anymore if they knew it was me.

I found out that once they talk to them about the dog, they will have five days to remove the animal from the premises. If they don't, they can be evicted. I told her I had pictures, and as I was leaving she asked to see them. They were still on my camera, so as I was scrolling to find them, I saw the pictures from where they hit the bridge. I told her that story, about how they weren't in any rush to fix it until Junior went down and started working on it. I realized while talking to her, and I told her this, too, that my neighbors are young. They may not realize that the things they do have consequences, especially for us. They were in no rush to fix the bridge, because they don't have kids who cross it every day. They don't clean up their dog's crap because it's in our yard, so they won't be stepping in it. Well, from now on, I am not cutting the grass on their side of the yard. I am not going out of my way to be nice to them, when they don't care about the things they do that affect us.

Am I rambling now?

Sorry.

Oh, and the water meter? They are coming to check because our water bill this month was really high. She asked if I knew why? I said I sure did, because our bathtub has been running for the past two months. I told her we called when it first happened, and then again a week later, and we were told someone would be out to look at it. She looked in her computer, and we are still weeks down on the maintenance man's list.

She said someone would be here Tuesday to look at it.

Finally. I just hope the dog is outside when they show up.
