Dear Mr Thorne,
It has come to our attention through complaints by other tenants in your building that you have a dog at the premises. Under the agreement you signed as part of the strata, animals are not permitted.
Please call or email me at hel.......com.au to discuss this matter as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
Helen Bailey

Dear Helen,
Thankyou for your letter concerning pets in my apartment. I understand
that having dogs in the apartment is a violation of the agreement due to
the comfort and wellbeing of my neighbours and I am currently
soundproofing my apartment with egg cartons as I realise my dogs can cause
quite a bit of noise. Especially during feeding time when I release live
rabbits.
Regards, David.

Hello David
I have received your email and wish to remind you that the strata
agreement states that no animals are allowed in the building regardless of
if your apartment is soundproof. How many dogs do you have at the
premises?

Dear Helen,
Currently I only have eight dogs but one is expecting puppies and I am
very excited by this. I am hoping for a litter of at least ten as this is
the number required to participate in dog sled racing. I have read every
Jack London novel in preparation and have constructed my own sled from
timber I borrowed from the construction site across the road during the
night. I have devised a plan which I feel will ensure me taking first
place in the next national dog sled championships. For the first year of
the puppies life I intend to say the word mush then chase them violently
around the apartment while yelling and hitting saucepan lids together. I
have estimated that the soundproofing of my apartment should block out at least sixty percent of the noise and the dogs will learn to associate the
word mush with great fear so when I yell it on race day, the panic and
released adrenaline will spur them on to being winners. I am so confident of this being a foolproof plan that I intend to sell all my furniture the
day before the race and bet the proceeds on coming first place.
Regards, David.

David, I am unsure what to make of your email. Do you have pets in the
apartment or not?

Dear Helen,
No. I have a goldfish but due to the air conditioner in my apartment being
stuck on a constant two degrees celcius, the water in its bowl is iced
over and he has not moved for a while so I do not think he is capable of
disturbing the neighbours. The ducks in the bathroom are not mine. The
noise which my neighbours possibly mistook for a dog in the apartment is
just the looping tape I have of dogs barking which I play at high volume
while I am at work to deter potential burglars from breaking in and
stealing my tupperware. I need it to keep food fresh. Once I ate leftover
chinese that had been kept in an unsealed container and I experienced
complete awareness. The next night I tried eating it again but only
experienced chest pains and diarrhoea.
Regards, David.

Hello David
You cannot play sounds of dogs or any noise at a volume that disturbs
others. I am sure you can appreciate that these rules are for the benefit of all residents of the building. Fish are fine. You cannot have ducks in
the apartment though. If it was small birds that would be ok.

David, under section 4 of the strata residency agreement it states that
you cannot have pets. You agreed to these rules when you signed the forms.
These rules are set out to benefit everyone in the building including
yourself. Do you have a telephone number I can call you on to discuss?

Dear Helen,
The ducks will no doubt be flying south for the winter soon so it will not
be an issue. It is probably for the best as they are not getting along
very well with my seventeen cats anyway. .
