To a spouter from Erma complaining about barking and chained dogs: You need to call animal control and not complain in Spout Off. There is a new ordinance that does not allow chaining of dogs day and night, and they have responded several times when I have reported dogs on chains and solved the problem. Make the phone calls immediately when you see any dog chained up all day. One of their officers is my neighbor, and no one cares more about animals than her! If you don't call, they cannot take action. She told me you can remain anonymous when you call.
