I have recently moved into a pet friendly
building, a veritable haven of fur and feathers! I'm still in shock at how
quickly I found this apartment, considering how challenging it can be to move
when you have pets.
Here's the story:
Here's the story:
One morning in February, I woke up, took Lil out to pee, and opened the
silverware drawer to get a knife so I could cut up some fruit for breakfast. I
quickly lost my appetite when I saw what was in the drawer though. It was mouse
pooh, and it was gross. I am soooooo not a fan of rodents. Ophelia
has always preferred tofu to meat products, but she protected me against the
rodent invasion quite effectively, if you know what I mean. Still, the
situation was not palatable to me, so I made the decision to move. I consulted
the Oracle of Craigslist, and clicked on the boxes that said “dog” and “cat”.
Suddenly, a gazillion listings became 5, 3 of which were obvious scams. I
called the first of the two remaining numbers immediately and went to go look
at it. I wasn’t that impressed though, so I called the second number and went
to see what is now my apartment. I loved the building instantly. How could I
not? It’s blatantly pet friendly, and you can meet a dog or two on any given
elevator ride. It’s great!
During the tour, they didn’t show me the
doggie spa though. I found that one just the other day, and was pleasantly
surprised. There’s a grooming table and a wash basin, and even a blow dryer,
and it’s conveniently located next to the courtyard,
where dogs are encouraged to romp around happily. All this AND we live right by the seawall! Jackpot!!! I may not ever use the doggie
spa facilities simply because I groom princess O on the throne, and Lil on my
lap, but it makes me feel good to know that pets are valued and respected here.
I never understood why so many landlords refuse to allow pets, but I grew up sharing my bed with a dog, so I guess I’m biased. I’m so glad I found this place. The girls and I are happy to live here.
