Stay.

I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the Super Walmart Shopping Center
and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Labrador Retriever puppy 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?'

Have a nice Friday.
