Left Turn Fail

I took Shawn to the doctor. Since he was good and did not snarl, growl, or bite any of the nurses or the doctor, I took him for McDonalds after. We went through the drive through so I could practice driving it. That all went swimmingly, but instead of turning left out of the parking…
