Recent successes added to our web site www.petsincondos.org/Successes.htm (do YOU have a story to add?):

June 2008 from Loretta: "Our family doctor gave us a note for my husband’s disability, and it is in compliance with the rules of the ADA [the federal Americans with Disabilities Act] ,which therefore no one can say anything, unless they want to go up against the ADA ,the condo lawyers say that they can’t fight it since it is a disability note from our Dr. We just have to get a note once a year saying his disability has not changed/or mine.

June, 2008, from Marianne: We have great news. One year after trying to get Eddie our long haired mini dachshund in to our condo "legally" he is in. We had been sneaking him in the building past the front door security in a bag and walking him a few streets away for over a year.

The board decided to write a letter to "grandfather" in any pets smaller than 20lbs. We had to do the normal office registration. It was a great feeling to finally present him at the front door on my shoulder. Turns out that all of the security guards are dog lovers and everyone says hello to Eddie now as we go for our walks.

[Our comment back: Congratulations, but this is mixed news. From all the letters we get, I anticipate how upset you will be years later when Eddie passes on and you won’t be able to replace him. The Friars in Ft. Lauderdale do grief counseling and count the grief over losing a pet as one of their major issues.]

May, 2008, from Joy in Tamarac:

After 3 of us showed up with our letters from a physician stating our pets were medically necessary The board has decided to not enforce the “no pet rule”. At least for now. I feel it is only a temporary reprieve.The worst of the board members resigned and the other two are snow birds.”

May, 2008: Board Allows Animal for Medical Condition (Lakeland, FL)

We have replaced our old guest book with a new one, due to technical reasons. (I have saved old entries, but this new one is starting empty.)
