I know I am a librarian, and thus know far too many people with them, but apparently it’s illegal to write a blog post today if it isn’t about cats.  Did anything happen today for anyone that doesn’t involve cats?  I was allergic all day at work, and now I am wondering if it’s because of Official Cat Day.  Anyone who has a not cat story to share, please blow up the comments.

Regarding my pets, my new Scooba is broken.  We’re getting him a new tank.  iRobot customer service rocked out.  I still haven’t named the new Scooba, but please feel free to offer names for Fido’s brother!  Perhaps Kitty?

I do not know my neighbors.  I have never seen them.  But either they just got a new yappy dog, or I just got new neighbors who happen to have a yappy dog.  I imagine it’s the former.

I can hear the yappy dog all the time.  Sometimes they take him to a room where I cannot hear him.  I know this, because if I am inside I cannot hear him, but when I walk outside I CAN hear him, so he’s in a room facing away from my apartment.  Yay.

Yappy dog likes to traipse around outside of my door in the wee hours of the weekend mornings.  In and out.  In and out.  Yapyapyapyapyapyap.  It is non stop.  Sometimes they literally have him in our lobby, inches from my door, and sometimes in a room just inside their door.  For hours.  I can hear this in from my dark, dark bedroom.  When I come in the building he can hear me at the door and freaks out with the yapping and scratching.
This has been ongoing for a week.  I thought, maybe it’s a new dog, maybe I will give them a couple of days for the dog to chill out in his new place.  But a week?  Oh no, this must stop.
Seeing as I don’t know my neighbors, what is the best way to approach this, before I knock on their door at 7am on Sat screaming, “I will drown your hellhound if you do not make him stop with the yapping.”

First, not in importance but in timeliness is people who fill up soap containers with water when the soap gets low instead of just buying a dollar bottle of soap.  The last few bathrooms I have been in have had this problem.  The 80% water/20% soap mixture renders the soap useless, making you have to use more.  It also sprays everywhere.  If you can catch that your soap is running out so early as to add water, why not run your lazy ass out for some soap?
