I would prefer something in the morning (any time after 9:00 is fine with me). We will probably be leaving somewhere around 11:30 or noon (?). As for the place, I would love to see if Ginger even likes the beach, but since it is Simba's birthday I think he should be there. So the dog park would be good (you can give me directions to the beach later ). Your house would be alright, I am just worried about Ginger being too nervous/timid in an enclosed area/yard with a lot of larger dogs (she may surprise me, she often does).
