Susie asked her Mom, *My I take the dog for a walk around the block?* Mom replies, *No, because she is in heat.* *What*s that mean?* asked Susie. *Go ask your father in the garage.* Off goes Susie, and asks her dad.

Surprised Dad asked, *Where*s Belle?* Susie said, *She ran out of gas about halfway down the block, so another dog is pushing her home.*
