Doo unto others...

One of the benefits to living in our apartment building is its proximity to a fabulous dog park. One of the negatives is living near people who are not responsible enough to care for themselves, let alone another living being. The Austin Luskeys are constantly rolling our eyes at the broken beer glass in the landscape (where we are trying to potty train our puppy), gagging on the smells in the concrete stairwell from selfish neighbors who lazily allow their pets to defecate before making it outside and fearing for our lives when the jacked up Chevy Tahoes come blazing around the narrow, blind corners of our disproportionately small parking garage.

The above picture is a note I wrote and placed between one of my rude neighbor's dog's excrements. Classy, I know.

The note reads:

PLEASE DON'T BE
SELFISH AND RUDE!
PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG - THAT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY AS A PET OWNER.
THIS IS NOT A FILTHY DORM OR FRAT HOUSE.
RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO SHARE THIS STAIRWELL WITH YOU.
-YOUR NEIGHBORS

Yes, I took it upon myself to write a note on behalf of my fellow, rule-following residents. The moral of the story is, if you own a pet and live in an apartment building, walk your pet in a neighborhood, enjoy walking (without your pet) in a clean, odor-free stairwell... oh...sheesh, basically if you live on earth and ever come in contact with other humans - BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS AROUND YOU! That's all.
