Update on the condo pet issue thing. ONLY giving a one time update as a few requested. [View all]

I had EVERY intention to stay away but I got a few PMs requesting I keep them inform. I figure this is the best way to give people the update.

The Lawyer visit still has us wondering what happened. We went to see a lawyer about the pet issue considering one set of rules said pets are allow and another said dogs only and the Sec of the condo assoc wrote in her letter to us that ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE HAD PERMISSION TO HAVE PET VISITS. We did not have that right. First the guy said we had a case then we didn't then we did and while talking to him he accused me of "dominating" him and threw us out of his office.


So My wife is going to a different way. She is going to try and change the rule. She is going for the big guns and going to change the rule that pets can't live in the units.

This is her letter that she wrote to the President and Secretary/Treasure.

This is what she sent them:
Just because a rule is in place over so many years DOES NOT MEAN IT CAN NOT BE OVER TURNED! I will fight TO MY DYING BREATH to see pet ownership—especially cat ownership is allowed. I will petition my fellow Condo dwellers every week, month, and year to help me overturn this rule.

Also you cannot post conflicting rules and decide which rules is going to fit your whims! One posting says pets while another paper says dogs only and IT IS NOT FAIR to give CERTAIN PEOPLE PERMISSION AND NOT OTHERS.

This letter is not meant as a threat just an intent to let you know my goal and if it is a long fight with the condo association I will not back down on the issue. Some issues are worth fighting for and in order for this place to feel like a home to me I need a pet(s). I did try your way without a pet but this place feels cold and lonely. I also want you to know had I been allowed to have a visit with a cat I would not even be writing this letter or taking these steps.

TO MY DYING BREATH I WILL FIGHT TO SEE PET OWNERSHIP IS ALLOWED:
_____

She also now has signs hanging on all our windows facing the parking lot which read Change the Rules.

The day we went to see the lawyer the President had the nerve to come out of her unit smiling at us like nothing was wrong and talk to us. My wife was livid she turned to the woman and in a firm tone said Do Not SPEAK to me. The woman looked down shamefully almost like she felt guilty (at least that is how I interrupted her actions)

My wife plans on writing to every owner in the two buildings that make up our condo association every week pleading her case as to why pets should be allowed.


What's even worse is that earlier this week where going to have direct TV installed. We saw one rule stating satellite dishes are allowed another stating Dish is now allowed as well. So my wife had me go down and make sure we are allowed direct TV. I specifically asked if DIRECT TV could be installed. The Secretary/Treasure said yes. Then when direct TV came and he started to look to see what type of wiring we had she started yelling at the guy that no holes can be drill. Why this psycho didn't tell me this before when I asked I didn't know.

The wires in the condo would not support direct TV without having outages. They would have to run new lines. So we couldn't do it. BUT there are a couple units with dishes. SO if they have satellite TV those lines must have been ran so I think this woman is trying to screw with us. that is the only thing I can think.

So this is the update a few of you requested. Sorry if it bothers some of you who think I am posting to much. It won't happen again.
