[nagdu] Landlord Issues

[JULIE PHILLIPSON]

no not when just walking but I also play with my dog with bones and balls 
and that makes quite a bit of noise.  I hear every bit of noise from up 
stairs and probably just the dog walking wouldn't bother me.  Part of my 
apartment is wood floors but I live in a down stairs apartment.  its just my 
opinion don't get so defensive about it.
