So I walked into the office today to pay my deposit for Summer.

So the usual questions... name, age, size, etc.

Breed was interesting.

"What kind of dog?"
"Papillon."
"Uh...."
"It's p-a-p-i-l-l-o-n."
*mispells name*
"No no.... p-a-p-i-l-l-o-n."
"What kind of dog is that?"
"Small, about 7 lbs. Fluffy with big ears."
"Hm."

Then later...

"Color?"
"Sable and white."
*look of confusion*
"Brown... she's brown and white."

Then there were some GREAT rules, lol. I understand they have to cover everything, but they were pretty funny.

"Animal may not enter the swimming pool."

"Unless a service animal, you may not take the animal to the following places: apartment office, laundry room, tanning beds, gym...."

"May not tie animal out to the fence or in the parking lot."

Then this one just seemed stupid:

"Dog may not urinate or defecate anywhere they are not designated to- including the entirety of our premises. This includes fenced in yards designated solely for your own use."

Uh huh, so I'm supposed to hike across the freeway to the field to let the dog pee?

So I asked, "About this restriction, I was under the impression you just had to pick up the poop, but it says she can't go anywhere on the premise?"

"Oh don't worry about that. I have a dog, I live in the 1600s like you. There's that area behind the apartment with the ditch that no one goes. That's where I let my dog go. Take her there, they'll never notice."

This is from the office workers lol. I figure I'll just pooper scooper. No one's going to know if a 7 lb dog PEES outside.

Ain't it grand? I wish some dog savvy person would open up a complex and make it actually dog friendly.

I'd say sure, but I'm trying my damndest to get OUT of apartment life. :p Though maybe if it was nice and dog friendly (and SCREENED to keep the crazy drug addicts out) I could deal with it. Actually, I wouldn't mind this place so much if it weren't for the crazy neighbors and not being able to use the giant fenced-in, grassy courtyard that's right outside.

Ooh, a responsible dog owner friendly apartment would be great right now, lol.

Unless we had to open it up to idiot owners too, then not so much.

I bet it is tough finding a place to rent with a dog. We used to rent apartments and didn't mind animals, but a lot of times renters would lose the deposit just because dogs/cats can be so messy. It is what it is sometimes.

Zoom... my response is.... A LOT OF GREEN PAPER THINGS!
Sadly, yes. Even more sad, is how many of those green paper thingys most of us are lacking. :(

Oh well, I'll just stick to finding a decent little house with a big yard.

There's a pretty dog friendly luxury apartment complex near downtown Columbus. It so amazing.. movie theater, pool tables, olympic size swimming pool, etc. AND there's a fenced-in dog park SOLELY for the use of the tenants.

It's SUPER expensive.. like $1900/month for a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath 2-story townhome.. that's the most expensive floorplan though.
