The Harris family was getting ready to leave for a day at the beach. There was an established routine to the last 15 minutes before their
departure. Dad always washed the windshield and the van windows
. Anita checked the pressure on the tires. Adam inspected the house to
make sure doors were locked and all the
burners were off on the stove. Mom and 14-year-old Lori packed the back of the van with the picnic
basket and the younger children's swim gear. Finally. Dad whistled to Scooter
, the new puppy, who leaped in the back of the van. The Harris
family was off for a day in the sun.

3. When she was in the eighth grade, Anita had won the puppy in a contest sponsored by the local newspaper.
