or neither: jane ran to the store.
subordinate clause
independent clause
both
neither

Jane ran to the store is an independent clause

Explanation:

Independent Clause:

An independent clause can stand on its own, offering full meaning. There is no need to join any other clause. An independent clause can also be as short as just two words e.g He smiled. So presence of object is not mandatory in an independent clause.

Jane ran to the store is independent clause because it has all the three components of an independent clause i.e

1 Has a subject - Jane

2 has an action or predicate - ran to the store (a predicate)

3 Expresses a complete thought

Subordinate Clause:

It does not express a complete thought.

e.g Because he likes stories.

A clause becomes subordinate because of;

1: The presence of marker words (e.g Before, after, because, since, in order   to, although, though, whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if)

2: Conjunction (And, or, nor, but, yet)

Subordinate/dependent clause MUST be joined to another clause to make the meaning clear.

i would just say something like,

i need to go outside owner to pee, hold on owner let me mark this tree. i'm thirsty now "starts drinking water" now i am tired. what are you eating owner can i have some, you can't refuse my cute puppy eyes.

just make sure you write that in your own words that way you don't get in trouble.
