Soon , some started to pack up to leave . Exactly before lunch time , we all checked out and waved our final goodbyes from the place . Before heading home , since we still had lots of money left , we stopped by the nearest Caltex station [ because one of us works in Caltex and did not want to patronize other oil companies ;) ] and took lunch at Pancake House . Then we started cruising home .

A: Why has the crew stopped at Pancake House ?

the food was okay . but definitely went through me by the time we went home and i had to have " food babies " according to brenna . after that we got ready to go to the gay bar and meet up with a friend .

A: What is the correct order of events ?

That simple ... Anyway , it was , quite nice to met these people , I kind of ... like them , after all . For the next day we ( I mean Elka and me ) had planned grill . But quite out of the blue , the weather changed -- it rained and that was serious threat to the whole grill idea . Fortunately Elka decided to move our party to the attic of her house and put grill on the balcony , under parasol .

A: Why did Elka and the narrator want to grill ?

I never have her in off - leash areas when there are other dogs around or likely to be around , and I never , ever let her off leash unless we 're in a safely fenced area and there 's no one there but us . Which in San Francisco is not often . So , here I have a dog who I only suspect might tangle with another dog , and I ' m acting like she 's some kind of dangerous animal , simply because I love her and care about other dogs and do n't want there to ever be a problem that I could have prevented .

A:
What will the narrator do when taking her out ?
