By the time I got there on Monday it had turned into two. I contacted one, gave the usual spiel, and had no response at the second one. Was told that the individual would be on their way soon. When I visited again that afternoon, there was a third RV added to the mix. I exited my vehicle and started making my way toward the three RV’s when the barking from at least 8 dogs, mostly tied up, but not secure enough to my liking, begin to rise in volume. There was no way we were going to have much of a conversation over the canine din, and with the sketchy job of tying the dogs up, I left the scene and called APD. They are working on moving them along. 72 hours later, as per city code, the RV’s were gone. The good news coming from this is that the Parks Director and the Police …
