The Alsatian alarm clock

My landlord has decided to keep his dog outside from now on, basically across from my window, ties to a post, with some shelter! Now this is a 5 month old puppy, and she doesnt know what is happening. Not that dogs EVER really know what is happening. Well the first night the dog barked every two hours, so I was super tired yesterday. Last night was pouring rain and I was sure they would take her inside.

Most of the night there was no sound. I set my alarm clock to 7:10 am (sleeping in is taking on a whole different meaning these days) as I dont have class till 10 today, and wouldnt you know it! At 5:30 she started barking NON stop! I mean NON stop! Till 6:40! At which point I just got up. I mean what was the point??

Now having worked at the Humane Society, I am well aware of what this does to a dog. Being tied up 24-7 is worse than a death sentence, especially for a puppy. So Brent is moving in, in 10 days, I am changing apartments, and he said he will likely adopt her, and take better care of her. In the meantime, I need to have a word with my landlord. He is obviously "old school" and he screams a lot- but not at me, just to his wife. That explains why she looks worried all the time!

If he ever tries to scream at me, he will experience the wrath of Katrin. That ought to show him!
