Park and Stay!!

I pulled into the crowded parking lot and rolled down the car windows to make sure my dog had fresh air.

To impress upon her that she must not leave the car. I walked to the curb backwards, pointing my finger at her in the car saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me?" "Stay! Stay!"

A pretty young blond lady walking nearby, gave me a strange look and said,  "Why don't you just put it in Park?"
