also right now:
one of the people in an upstairs apartment is (i think) moving out; i saw her carrying boxes of stuff to various vehicles. b and i havent seen her or the group that often accompany her since friday night.
but there is this puppy.
he is in the apartment upstairs, and he has been crying since last night.
i know which puppy it is, because i saw him thursday night when i was tending to my herbs. he was floppy-moppy and wanted to climb into my flower beds and my lap. a sweet mutt of a dog.
lacey has been unable to sleep - she is just as concerned as b and i are.
b tried shoving some puppy food under the door, and the dog ate some of it.
he then tried to pop the lock with his thin library card, only to find that it is deadbolted as well.
ive called our landlords and left a message saying how concerned we are.
there is nothing more we can do.
nothing except listen to his sad howls and die a little inside.

that is the *saddest thing I've heard*! I'm so glad you guys are at least concerned enough to call the land lords
that's horrible. I wonder if there's any sort of animal control people you could call.
Is it the apartment directly above yours? Call the landlord and tell him you think the apartment has a leak because you hear dripping noises through the ceiling. He'll be there before you know it, and you can pretend he's deaf.
Alternately, call the fire department anonymously and tell them you saw smoke through the window of that apartment. They have to show up and check out every call, even if they think it could be a prank. (I live next to a fire department, and believe me, they've got nothing better to do.)
with all of the forest fires around right now, firefighters are plenty busy and doing 36+ hour shifts.
the apartment is not the one directly above us, but upstairs and to the side (i live in a 4-plex). when i called the landlord, no one picked up, so i left a message. but knowing them as i do, they would take a stranded puppy just as serious as b and i do. not to mention there is a one-animal-per-apartment rule... and they already have two cats.
