HOUNDS FROM MILES AROUND—Above, a rousing cheer went up from the mass of guests as giant scissors sliced through the red ribbon at the long-awaited grand opening of the Simi Dog Park last Saturday. Left, Tommy Veazey, 7, of Moorpark sends a tennis ball flying for a group of playful dogs. Below, a greyhound sprints full speed across the park's 3-acre lawn. The off-leash park features separate sections for large and small dogs, a drinking fountain and picnic tables. A snake-proof fence keeps critters from the surrounding hills out and dogs in. 015p1_xlg.jpg
