I had the day off monday (for my birthday, no less!) and planned an early morning play-date at the Hefner Paw Park for the first visit for my girl.

The park was CLOSED for 4 days for renovations!
drat.

not sure when I will have the chance to go again, I want her first experience to be drama free and I'm hoping to find a weekday evening that is not so crowded.

Our girl is a lab-mix rescue (street stray) that is almost 2 years old.
She is protective of the house and car, and has not had much socializing with other dogs, other than Petsmart. She has done fine at BBQs with other humans.

anyone noticed an evening that is less crowded?
