Some condo boards tackle big issues: repairing crumbling balconies, preventing budget overruns, or ensuring the community thrives.
Our board?
They went to war againstā¦ my small, quiet dog.
š° The Gold Medal in Cruelty Spending
Yes – hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, all to evict an animal who has never so much as barked in the hallway, chewed a lobby plant, or hosted a late-night rave.
If cruelty were an Olympic sport, theyād be on the podium singing O Canada with gold medals around their necks and hearts full of ice.
š The Real “Offender”
Even if my dog were not essential to me – and for the record, he is – the decision to invest more money in trying to exile him than in improving the building says it all.
This was never about rules, safety, or noise.
This was about ego.
And ego, when paired with unchecked pettiness, is a dangerous beast – far more disruptive than any dog could ever be.
ā¤ļø My Dog vs. The Board: No Contest
The irony? My dog has contributed more to the emotional well-being of this community than the entire board combined.
Heās:
- Loved š¾
- Quiet š¤«
- Loyal š
In other words, he embodies all the qualities the board lacks.
š Pets Are Family
Letās be honest – pets are family.
In moments of grief, stress, or loneliness, they are the ones who:
- Sit with us in silence
- Offer comfort without judgment
- Love us without condition
For the board to pour the communityās money into trying to rip that bond apart is not just wasteful – itās barbaric.
š A Blank Cheque for Cruelty
And yet, here we are.
The board that canāt produce a transparent budget somehow found a blank cheque for cruelty.
The people who canāt answer owner questions suddenly discovered an endless capacity for obsession when the target was a harmless, grey-haired little dog.
š Comedy? Not Quite.
It would almost be funny, if it werenāt so revolting. But thereās nothing comedic about the coldness it takes to try to separate someone from a beloved family member – especially when that family member weighs less than a sack of sugar and disturbs no one.
šÆ Final Congratulations
So congratulations, dear board. Youāve achieved the impossible: youāve made Ebenezer Scrooge look like a humanitarian.
And while youāve lost your humanity in the process, at least you can rest easy knowing that, somewhere, the ghost of Cruella de Vil is looking down on you with admiration.
š¬ Pull Quote of the Week:
āThe boardās war chest for cruelty is bottomless – unlike their empathy, which was never stocked in the first place.ā
