STAY!!!!

I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the
Super Wal-Mart Shopping Center and rolled
down the car windows to make sure my
Labrador Retriever Pup had fresh air.

She was stretched full-out on the back seat
and I wanted to impress upon her that she must
remain there! I walked to the curb backward,
pointing my finger at the car and saying
emphatically, 'Now you stay. Do you hear me?'
'Stay! Stay!'

The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady,
gave me a strange look and said,
'Why don't you just put it in park?'
