Today marked the absolute donenatudeness* of our last vacant apartment. The flooring guys installed carpet throughout the apartment on Thursday. Today we did the final vacuum, installed a final few phone jack covers, and put drawer slides in the stove drawer so it opens and closes easily. All in all, this apartment is sweet.
Now we need a tenant. Our property manager showed it this week to the perfect tenants. They liked the apartment and they seemed perfect. Perfect, that is, until they said they had an 80 pound dog. Screeeech. The brakes locked up on that conversation. No, no, no. A small dog maybe - 5, 10, 15 pounds, maybe. But 80? To quote the Wizard's guard in the Emerald City, "Not no way. Not no how!"
Is there anyone left who doesn't own a big dog????
*Donenatudeness: From the root word, donenatude. Meant as a reference to something that is finished, or complete.
