Long Beach opens new dog park
K-9 corner, the fourth off-leash dog park in Long Beach, opened on Sunday at Ninth Street and Pacific Avenue.
(And that's not all -- two more dog parks are in the works in the Wrigley District at Golden Avenue and Wardlow Road and Scheer Park in North Long Beach, according to the city's parks and recreation department.)
K-9 Corner boasts solar power and cost the city $300,000 to develop.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
