I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the Super Wal-Mart shopping Center and rolled down the car windows to make sure that my Labrador Retriever pup had fresh air. The pup was stretched full-out on the back seat of the car, 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 blond young lady, gave me a strange look and said, "Why don't you just put it in park?"
