so if you missed my original thread its here: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=89549
basically some lady yelled at me for letting brock pee on some grass in front of the apt building she lives in, and them accused me of not picking up my dogs' poop- WHICH I ALWAYS DO.
so I emailed a law enforcement person at the seattle animal shelter shortly after, and I got this reply:
Hi Margaret,
I'm sorry for the delay in my response. I'm not clear from your
description whether the area would be considered public property or not.
You mention an apartment so it may be property that belongs to the
owner of the apartment building. At any rate, the Seattle Municiple
Code does require you to pick up feces after your dog before you leave
the area, but does not address urination one way or the other. I don't
know if this answers your question or not. If you'd like to see the
ordinances that relate to animals in the city please visit our website
at www.seattleanimalshelter.com and follow the links to the ordiance
information. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other
questions or concerns.
so that woman basically had no right to scream at me about it. well a week or so ago, I saw my maintenence guy out here, and I saw her and her husband talking to him!! I *knew* she was talking to him about me. I happened to be out walking brock and unfortunately had to walk past them to get back to my apt, and as I passed them they didnt say anything until I was like 5 feet away when she *literally* screams, "THERE SHE IS, RIGHT THERE!!! SHE HAS 2 OF THEM!" I didnt turn, slow, stop or anything, no one called to me to stop and talk, or come to my door later, or call me about it. so I assume/HOPE my maintenence guy just told her theres nothing he can do and/or Im not doing anything wrong!
well, since then Ive passed her on the street a couple times, never saying anything, then TODAY, I get home from work and find A PILE OF DOG POOP ON MY DOOR MAT!!! it is clearly *NOT* from any of my dogs- WAY too small first of all, and secondly brock has really bad diarreah (liquid) right now. AND I always pick up after them anyway, so theres no way it could be theirs! and! since she yelled at me I havent let them poop on that grass. I am SO MAD. I tossed it out into the street. I shouldve thrown it onto her windshield with a nasty note saying that ITS NOT MINE. but! unlike her, Im not INSANE, and I dont blame things on people unless I *know* they did it!! (even though I dont know anyone else who would have done that!!!!)
I was so mad I called the police, but they said in order to file a report I need her name. so, if she pulls anything else Im going to call my landlord and/or hers and figure it out. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. she had no right to do that!!! what a psychopath!!
