In this particular instance, it needs to come from management. Management needs to remind them that having a dog on the property is a <I>privilege, </I> and privileges can be taken away. <BR/><BR/>Doglover~ I know the bulk of the problem lies with the humans, but it is extremely difficult NOT to be angry at both dog and humans. <BR/><BR/>As for substituting "kid" for dog...sorry to disappoint you, but I wouldn't appreciate a kid doing cartwheels and roughhousing over my head all the time, either and honestly don't know anyone who would. Been there, experienced that, and after two years of the entire building (not just us) compaining, they were finally asked to leave. <BR/><BR/>We were raised that there are indoor activities, and outdoor activities. Running, jumping and roughhousing belong outside, and this rule applied not only when we lived in an apartment, but when living in a house as well. The noise was so bad at 9pm this evening I thought my living room ceiling was going to fall in on me. Sadly, this is NOT an exageration. <BR/><BR/>I'm so upset about current living conditions that I am on the verge of calling my sister and canceling Christmas.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17700809709293636333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-88123492019490210532007-12-18T21:45:00.000-06:002007-12-18T21:45:00.000-06:00I think you could make a serious impression if you...I think you could make a serious impression if you could just go upstairs and give them that piece of your mind you shared with us.

They're usually either not open yet or just opening as I'm leaving for work and closed before I get home, and office was closed without notice on Saturday. I left them a copy of the log I've been keeping of all the times they wake us up or crank the stereo, as well as when we've spoken to management and the police. Adam seemed rather surprised it was three pages long. As I told him, I don't make a habit of tracking my neighbors' comings and goings, but it's hard <I>not</I> to hear them, especially as often as they wake us between 2 and 4am. So...we'll see if anything is said to them. Or if the hole in my wall gets fixed.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17700809709293636333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15015304.post-52760689197764791632007-12-18T11:08:00.000-06:002007-12-18T11:08:00.000-06:00(((Heather))) I'm so sorry your neighbors are so r...(((Heather))) I'm so sorry your neighbors are so ridiculously rude. Sounds like it just keeps getting worse and worse. I wish I could wave my magic wand and make it all better. :-/ Here's to hoping the sow's upstairs go away for Christmas and take their dog with them.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497608180842403825noreply@blogger.com
