"Stay!"

[deputydon]

I pulled into the crowded parking lot at
the local shopping center, and rolled down the car windows to make sure my
Yellow Lab Puppy had enough fresh air.



She was stretched-out on the back
seat. I needed to impress upon her that she must remain in the car.
I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying
emphatically, "Stay.... You stay. Do you hear me?"

"Stay!!!
Stay!!!" I said over and over again.


Suddenly, the driver of a nearby car, a pretty
young blonde woman, gave me a strange look and shouted, "Why don't you just put
it in 'Park'?"
