Soledad O'Brien Hates Dogs
And by the looks of that dog's face, he hates her ass too. Or maybe he's just pushing out a shit bubble? Probably the latter. This pooch's butt wind, among other things, is why CNN's Soledad O'Brien is trying to get him evicted! Soledad, the secretary of her NYC co-op board, sent a 20-page affidavit to Ugo the dog's owners stating he's nasty as shit so he must get the fuck out. Yes, I'm sure that sentence was somewhere in those 20-pages.
Soledad and the other board members claim Ugo is too big and he slobbers, sheds, drools and farts everywhere. Steven Lyons, Ugo's owner, told the NY Post, "She told me at a shareholder's meeting that my dog stinks. Her behavior has been particularly outrageous." Steven also said that he tried to work with the board. He takes Ugo to get groomed three times a month and offered to use the freight elevator when walking him so that his neighbors don't have to see him that often. None of that shit impressed the board, because Soledad signed a notice canceling the family's lease. So either the family will be homeless or Ugo will.
Poor, farty Ugo. Doesn't he look sad? He knows that soon he might not have neighbors to crop dust on and that depresses him. I want to know how bad are Ugo's farts? Are his farts so fucking awful that they are seeping through the walls and singeing nose hairs? Or is Soledad hanging out in the hallways and elevators all the time? I'm sure this dumb bitch hardly comes in contact with Ugo and his toxic butt. How would that ho like it if someone sent her a 20-page affidavit saying that her queefs are making eyeballs sweat. That damn witch wouldn't appreciate it. I hope one of Ugo's deadly farts creeps into Soledad's closet and melts on one of her shoes.
That said, I've witnessed a Mastiff going doody time before. It was an experience my tongue will never forget, because I could seriously taste it. It tasted like overboiled corn and fried chipped beef.
Thanks Liz
LOL I bet Robin Meade wouldn't do that!
What a fucking cunt! I have a mastiff and they are the sweetest, most loving dogs you can own. They're quiet around the house and don't yap all day the way some goddamn toy breeds do. What's the big fucking deal if the guy is willing to use the freight elevator to bring his dog in and out of the building. If anyone is a fucking mutt Soledad is.
The dog is more attractive than her...
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Co-ops are like a hybrid between an apartment and a house. You know going in what the rules are. You're nowhere near as free to do what you like as you'd be in a single-family home. If the rules say no large dogs or no smoking, you buy somewhere else if that's a problem.
Not sure about NY, but in Cali where I live, the protective landlord-tenant laws generally don't apply to condo owners (we have very few co-ops here). In Cali, a condo owner is always allowed one domestic pet, but the condo association can restrict the size and breed.

FUCK THE FUCK OFF SOLEDAD!!!
She is my LEAST favorite CNN person.
She's their version of Anne Curry, breathy and cunty and ass kissy.
"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!
I work for someone who owns four co-op apartments in a very expensive building and I have way more rights in my 2 bedroom rental in the Bronx !! it's insane, these people are paying MILLIONS for these apartments and they cant fart without written permission so not worth it, they cant smoke cigarettes ..CIGARETTES IN THEIR OWN HOME without getting a letter !!! I mean utter insanity!!
I'd like to read the actual complaint and find out what her real beef is.
Soledad is a cunt. Maybe we should start a petition to get her ugly ass fired since she must be breaking some sort of moral clause because she's so evil.

If i paid 3 mil for a place, i'd better be able to bring in a 7th grade marching band, the cirque du soleil crew, midgets with platform shoes that like to go-go dance, a group of roller derby girls on meth, a mississippi delta gospel choir, and 10 incontinent pepaws with alzheimer's, if i so choos_

Haha. Agreed. And I have heard horror stories about how cunty some of these coop boards are. I mean, just insane. It's easier to own a home but alas, this is NYC so not so much for city living.
I love Mastiffs and especially fond of larger breeds. Yeah they smell but sounds like this guy has taken every possible route to make sure the dog is not offending anyone. and 20 page letter.. REALLY? It's nuts.

Kathleen ??? Is that you ??? LOL
Karma Police, one of my best friends hates dogs, she says they just really gross her out, but she is totally a cat person & another one of them couldnt wait for her husbands dog to just die already...The dog was old & suffering, but still! She is a controlling neat freak, so I think she hated the messiness of a dog. I think people who hate dogs are missing a gene or something. How can one hate something so pure & innocent & sweet. Sure, I understand hating naughty dogs, but even then, they may just not be properly trained.
What a biatch. I have always hated her spastic reporting but now I really hate her. Who doesn't like dogs???
just read over that last post of mine...that's it for me for awhile...time to take my meds
Vanys: i'll never forget how the NYFD came down to the mississippi coast to help during Katrina...when we thanked them, they said they were just repaying the favor from 9/11...that's some cool stuff...makes me want to road trip to the inauguration and sing cum baya around the capital with Beyonce...i'd even forgive Soledad for her prejudiced behavior toward large four legged creatures...how's that for some tolerance bitches!
Exactly what kind of breed of animal is a Soledad O'Brien? I've never heard of it before. Is it a game animal with an open hunting season, or is that thing domesticated?

Then again, i'm just a stubborn, southerner stuck in my ways...i prolly wouldn't last two days living in New York...i've been up a good many times...love the city when i visit and love New Yorkers...some of the funniest people on this damn Earth
Oh, hell...i'm gonna quit rambling now
Here's a funny comment by a Post reader on Soledad O'Brien: "Sounds like some kind of hash brown potatoes."

Thanks, I would do anything for that furry thing.
@ sheeps - if the place accepts dogs or took the dog at the inception without complaining. THe fact that he is 150 lbs should not be an issue.
As for the people who want to live dog free, there are a million places in the city, including numerous co-op boards that don't allow dogs... move into those. __________________________________________

I really don't think it's that serious that they have to try to evict the family. The owner has offered to use the freight elevator even though he doesn't have to because he lives there too and is entitled to the same things as the other tenants. At least he's trying to compromise. I don't remember the last time I smelled my neighbor's dog through the walls or slipped in slobber in the hallway. I call bullsh*t.

BelleBelle, you are correct. I tell people if they are not big exercisers and full of energy, they are better off with a Great Dane, than a JRT. JRTs are HIIIIIGH maintenance. yes, they are so fucking cute, but it takes a specific person to be able to handle one.
*********************************************
I lived a JRT once. One was enough! LOL
Their owners deserve medals :-)
Bullmastiffs.....Amos is my fourth. His laziness suits my personality just fine.
She went to my high school- I think she's a year older than me. She was a bitch then!
I never liked her before; now I hate her. Imagine the hatred she must have in her heart to compose a 20 page friggin letter? OMG. Someone should leave a brown paper lunch bag on her doorstep full of dogshit, light it with a match then ring her doorbell and take off! I'd love to see her stamp the fire out. LOL.
Droppin Kids Off in the Pool
She is just being a controlling bitch. Really now, how much is this dog effecting her life?? How are they all so monumentally put out by this one dog?? It doesnt make any sense, she doesnt live in the same apartment as his smelly dog fart ass & drooly sticky ropes of spit & flying fur, so why the hell is she being such a cunt? The guy uses the freight elevator for pete's sake! Seriously, she can hate the dog, she can hate puppies & babies & kittens too for all I care, but this is pushing it. I hate dog farts just as much as the next person (probably more because I have a sensitive sense of smell), but to have a family kicked out over it is absurd. Really now, how offensive can this dog be when you hardly ever see it & dont have to interact with it at all. I would love to know how many times a day she or anyone else in the building even sees the damn dog? Dont these people work?
If the building is this prestigious, they must have cleaning people to mop up the spit...
"Too big" for whom, Soledad? Mastiffs, especially this big beautiful Neopolitan, are incredibly lazy by nature. Unlike a midsized labrador, which would need lots of room to run, Ugo here appears to be perfectly suited to an apartment that has a freight elevator.
If you don't like where they're taking Ugo out to do his business, fine... but otherwise how is he hurting you? BS. Someone just doesn't like dogs.
Any family who would give up their dog to keep an apartment is one I don't want living in MY building. I'd be giving them the side eye every day. If someone said our dogs couldn't stay with us, we'd be living in the car and truck (it would totally take two vehicles, hehe) if necessary until we found a new place.
I'm totally offended by the size restrictions put on dogs. Size has nothing to do with how destructive or annoying a dog is. I have miniature rat terriers, who weigh 40 pounds total between the four of them. They are annoying as hell and I could never live in an apartment with even one of them. However, a mastiff like Ugo is slow and quiet and the worst you have to do is mop up after the drool.
I could stay in a hotel with all of my dogs and they would bark and mark and do all sorts of other irritating things (restrictions are usually "under 20 pounds") but they can't take Ugo. That's bullshit.

IF no one complained about this situation for at least the first three months of the dog living there then he has a legal right to stay ..plain and simple get a lawyer and he will tell you the same thing, I went through this in my building with my dog

What a cunt-bubble, her and the other A-holes in that building.
Doggy farts aren't pleasant, but neither are ppl farts. How about they kick out all the ppl too b/c they fart and stink up the place!
From what I've read somewhere else, there wasn't anything in their lease saying that a big dog wasn't allowed.
This is a 3million dollar, 4,000-square-foot "apartment" we are talking about. Even IF a Mastiff needed a lot of activity, I think that would suffice.
This guy is taking the frght elevator as to not offend the anti dog people.
Sounds like O'Brien is just being a controlling high-brow cunt.

i bet Soledad was eating this dog's ass and it busted a shart in her mouth. Since then, their relationship could be best described as strained. I mean I wouldn't want to live in the same building as someone that shit in my mouth.
It's worthwhile reading the Post story. The dog is 150 lbs. The owner (an immigration lawyer--who knew?) paid $3m for the unit on W. 27th St. Soledad is just the secretary on the board; it sounds like a number of people complained.
Again, you read the lease and rules, which will tell you who should win.

I like dogs, too, but you need to hear Soledad and the coop's side of this. It's undoubtedly a fancy building and I bet the dog is guilty of a lot more than farting. (It also seems like an odd, large breed for an apartment?)
It's pretty easy, really: you read the lease and rules and see what's allowed and what isn't. Maybe there's no specific rule that covers this, so the board is saying the dog's a nuisance. Much more murky area.
****
Some very good points. If the dog was initally accepted even if the building has a rule that says no dogs (or no dogs bigger than 25 lbs, etc), under NY law they are written into the lease, so to speak. This is likely a nuisance case, and although we do not know what the issue is really but for one side, co-op boards here in NY, and I have a lot of experience my friends and my dog included, are who their people are. Some are completely irrrational and not just about dogs.

From what i've heard bull mastiff's are wonderful animals...i'd love to have one...i can't imagine giving a damn about somebody else's dog in a building unless the thing was running amuck and pooing everywhere or aggressive...damn, give that gal a copy of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
OK - now I feel obligated to post in response the myth and misinformation that the 'bigger the dog the more exercise he requires'.
That is completely false.
When you bring any breed of dog into your family you need to research it to see if it is compatible with your lifestyle. Breeds in the Mastiff line, while huge, do not require the the same amount of activity that many smaller breeds need to stay healthy.
So before all you dog-haters get your panties all twisted, get your facts straight.
how could someone with a COOL nname like Soledad, be so mean?? that is a beautiful drooly(probably bucketsLOL) gorgeous pupper.aand he's probably worth a mint with a pedigree an arm long.
.*.l.*.
Just because YOU like your dog doesn't mean everyone else should be forced to. The person who has chosen a clean and dog-free life shouldn't have to ride up and down the elevator with massive dogs their cunty owners train to fart on them out of spite. Everyone doesn't have to be just like you. And everyone doesn't have to love your mongrel and call your hideous baby cute, either. People are different. Deal.
I like dogs, too, but you need to hear Soledad and the coop's side of this. It's undoubtedly a fancy building and I bet the dog is guilty of a lot more than farting. (It also seems like an odd, large breed for an apartment?)
