Sorry, but I have to vent before I explode! I live in a city where there is no grass. There is a park a few blocks away, but there's no garbage cans and a lot of homeless people stay there during the night. I really don't want to cross busy streets and go there after dark to let my guide dog go. When we moved into this building I built a litter box for my guide dog so I could let her use it. It's on my patio by the door and under the balconies above. This way I can sit on a step stool inside the door and clean it out.Well, a little while ago it was brought to my attention that someone had left a note taped to my door. It was typed out in bold letters that I better clean up my dog's "feces" because it's disgusting to look at! It was taped to my door so everyone passing by could see. Whoever wrote it didn't have the decency to even slide it under the door, or at least tape it so that the print faced the door.
Sophie do poo over the side of the litter box sometimes, and did a little bit a few days ago, but I can't reach that far. It's right next to the litter box, under the balcony and there's a tiny bit next to it. When Julian's home, which he isn't right now it don't get that bad.
There's two cats that keep coming around here and they DO use everyone's balcony on this floor as a litter box. They belong to the secretary in the building. What really annoys me is that the person who wrote this nasty note for all the world to see, is probably the SAME person who throw cigarette butts onto my patio. There are about 200 cigarette butts langing there every couple of days! They blow around, they get inside and the ashes get into the cream coloured carpet! I don't smoke and never have, neither does Julian! There have also been newspapers, envelopes, packages from BBQ's (which are NOT suppose to be on any of the balconies), bits of food, long pieces of board, a couple of lighters, the fuzzy cover that goes on toilet seats, and even a USED condom! This is all within a few months! For anyone to notice a small piece of dog poo under a balcony they HAVE to be in one of the condos a few floors above us. Which also means they have to be one of the people throwing their JUNK onto OUR area!
Sophie's litter box is constantly filled with cigarette butts, and garbage from the people above us, and the garbage that gets thrown down from the other balconies is too far away for me to reach. I can't get outside because there's a big step. It has to stay where it is until Julian gets back. Sophie has ven had things fall on her! She can't even go out there because she gets full of ashes, and God knows what she could get into! She's also had things fall on her! Luckily it was only a wrapper that weiners come in, and some cigarette butts that didn;t burn her!
Now, I'm left with having to pull myself out over the step, and all accross concrete blocks on my butt because my wheelchair can't fit through the door, through a litter box and over board then accross MORE concrete and through the cigarette butts and God knows what to try to find the cat's mess to clean it up so they don't go to the building management! What they SHOULD complain about is the neighbor's patio looking like a junk yard with cracked up plastic patio chairs thrown about, dead plants, and weeds up past your ankles!
People drive me insane sometimes!
