Stay, Pupita! 

My girl puppy named Hank stood at attention as I stretched my index finger like the drill sergeant teaching her the basics of suburban life. STAY, and she did, despite our modest expectations. I can’t be mean about the dog I adore, but most people in my family believe it took Hank a full year to learn her name.
