01 scenario

Leeanna is at work and has just finished a large report for her boss. She decides to reward herself by taking a break and checking no cats, an activity she does often throughout the day. She opens up 'no cats' and sees a message from Jennifer suggesting that the regular dog park group get together to do something special for Ginger's birthday. Jennifer suggests that they go to the beach, and the rest of the group agrees. Leeanna thinks it would be great if there were a place nearby where they could grab a quick drink after the beach. She uses 'no cats' to help her find just the right place. She looks at the group replies and sees that the restaruant Moondoggies is on the group wishlist. She selects Moondoggies, a nearby bar and grill with a large outdoor seating section that allows dogs. The Moondoggies page opens up with a summary of basic information (hours, address, phone number) as well as more personalized information - comments from Leeanna's friends. After reading the reviews and comments, Leeanna is even more convinced that this will be the perfect place to visit after the beach, so she clicks the "make a doggy date" button at the bottom of the screen and creates an invitation for the dog park group. Leeanna gets back to work, excited about trying a new place with her friends and their dogs this weekend.
