[Chat] it Bull remains on the 2700 block of Guilford

[slg2700 at cs.com]

Judy:

2729 Guilford is the address where the pit bull lives who attacked another 
dog on 12/2 . 

I have been contacted by the Director of Animal Control about improving the 
process for reporting incidents and follow up by Animal Control.  I have 
some additional quesitons for him and then I will be able to write a full 
report back to the residents.  But thus far, Animal Control has been very 
responsive to our questions.

More to come.

To All:  We are looking for volunteers to populate and chair CVCA 
Committees. Will you help?
