Somebody puts Emrys in the Corner



This was an Atlanta Dominion weekend, which means fun time w/ my pack and lots of hot man-on-man (and pup-on-pup) action.

Friday I drove my pug (i.e. Cuddles) and my Owner (i.e. Shdwkitten) down to Poet’s place in Greenville, SC.  We grabbed some yummy Cuban food and, after an hour or so of talking (mostly about movies) we settled in to watch one of my favorites: Hudson Hawk, a very under-appreciated, funny, wacky movie.

Sunday, Cuddles and I headed on into Atlanta.  We got a slow start, so we missed the outing to Barking Leather… but we still had a great time w/ packmates Gwynn and Hunter.  We went to a German restaurant and ate lots of meat.  And Hunter kept putting my meat in his mouth.  But I also put some of his meat in my mouth.

Sunday was another excellent Atlanta Dominion party.  I got to wear my rubber suit (with hood and tail) for the first time at a Dominion.  I even got to give a dungeon tour to a new couple while in my latex skin and tail.  I think they appreciated it.  *wags*  I kept the suit and tail on for several hours w/o overheating – even doing a scene in it – but I didn’t have the hood on that whole time and that makes a big difference.  I think the key for wearing the suit for multiple hours is going to be pulling the hood off for a few minutes once every hour or so to cool down.

So that was one good part of Dominion: being in my rubber.  Another really good part, for me, was watching Hunter and Cuddles play around together.  I admit, I find a lot of amusement in watching the “kids” mess with one-another.  I love my family!  *wags*

And the third awesome part (the part you, no doubt, have been waiting for): I had great scene with the terrific TallglassofOJ.  This was my second time being out in my latex skin.  The first time, at CAPEX, Hunter did a great job as my Handler and I got to play with littles and had lots of fun and then Hunter got me off.  This scene was also great but 180-degrees different.  OJ locked me into my hood and mitts and led me around on-leash for a few minutes, me happily trotting on all fours at his heels w/ my tail wagging away, getting into my pup-space, letting go of human thinking.  He’d stop occasionally to watch something and I’d kneel at his feet.  I started sniffing his crotch, and his smell mixed with the smell of my latex hood started to turn me on and send me flying.  Sniffing at his crotch quickly turned into nuzzling at it.

My Handler must have got the message b/c he soon found a play space and chained the puppy upright against the wall w/ a spreader bar between my legs.  He slipped a blindfold on over my puppy hood and proceeded to edge me, playing with me through the latex suit, doing some light CBT and playing w/ my nipples…  He would periodically do a one-hand choke, pushing my head back into the wall.  It wasn’t breath play b/c I could always breathe fine (as evidenced by my growling and barking), but it was really hot.  Then OJ would also smush my face into the wall.  Fucking hot!  It was such a dominant action, combined with the cock teasing, the smell and feel of rubber, the big tail-plug in my butt (and the fact that I hadn’t cum in two weeks), it really put me into a wonderful subby headspace.

Then he released my wrists from the wall and re-locked them behind my back before forcing me to my knees.  That’s when he removed my blindfold and revealed, to my surprise, he had put on his puppy hood w/o me knowing it.  WOOF!  Looking up at him in that sexy canine mask, the ceiling light back-lighting him beautifully – my eyes were already watering but now I was drooling inside my hood.

Of course he teased me, but he did finally let me get his cock in my mouth, which I gratefully and eagerly took.  When he took it away – much too soon – I almost cried.  I begged and whimpered.

Back on my feet, he chained me up again, this time putting me in the corner.  I don’t know how long he made me stand there facing the corner.  Time was funny, but it seemed like an eternity.  I think this was when he put some prison restraints on Cuddles, who was watching the scene… or maybe he did that earlier…  Finally, OJ came back and teased me more.  More rubbing.  More choking.  He even “fucked” me with my tail, wiggling the plug back-and-forth.  Ye Gods, it all felt so good!  And in that moment, all I wanted was to be a good, obedient puppy-dog.

Honestly… I can’t remember how the scene ended…  This is all very fuzzy in my head.  I just know at some point I did end up un-cuffed w/ my hood off and re-hydrating.  And, deprived of OJ’s penis to suck on, I made use of Cuddles’ as he was still chained up.  I soon had him whimpering and howling almost a much as I was… but since I didn’t get off, neither did he.  :P

It was a really fun, hot scene.  Thank you to OJ, and also, as always, to the guys who make Atlanta Dominion happen every-other month.  Ruff! Ruff!

Pup Gets New, Rubber Skin



So my Christmas present finally arrived in the mail:  my first latex body suit!  It’s just an inexpensive one from Latexcatfish, but I’m super, super excited about it.  My Owner’s boyfriend is a tailor, and he took my measurements, so the fit I got is almost perfect. (Only the feet are too large. I gave them my usual shoe size, but apparently I could have gone down an inch.)

I love the smell and feel of my new, rubber skin.  It’s sooooo hot!  I'm shinny, smooth, and pet-able.  My Owner took some photos of me yesterday.  After our photo session, Ma'am let be jerk-off and cum while she told me to imagine the first time I get my puppy ass fucked while wearing my rubber skin…  Woof!


Did someone say "fetch?"
 
I love the shadow I cast in this pic.

Wanna play?

Who's a good boy?









Waggy tail

Shower time!

Scrub my back?

Ruff!


I like this pic because it looks like I'm drooling.

 Hope you enjoyed the photos.  Maybe you'll see me out and about at a mosh sometime.  Woof! Woof!

2014 Year in Review (Part 2)



40 questions about my year, Part Two

21. How did you spend Christmas?
We spent Christmas day w/ Poet’s family.  It was fun.  We drank red wine and Manhattans, we opened presents, we opened champagne bottles w/ a sword and a tomahawk, and we unraveled ribbons.  We spent the weekend after Christmas at the Treehouse w/ many of our favorite friends, family and puppies; drinking, playing games, talking about movies and comics, and opening more champagne bottles w/ swords.

22. Did you fall in love?
I fall more and more in love w/ my fantastic Owner every year.

23. Have any one-night stands?
Sex was good this year, and I had a few “stands” but they’ve all been more on-going than one night.  I met a couple of young pups at IML I would have done a one-night stand with, but no.

24. What was your favorite TV program?
Clone Wars and Penny Dreadful (and more Agents of SHIELD, Sherlock, and Teen Wolf)

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Nope.

26. What was the best book you read?
I won’t count comic books, which I’ve been mostly reading since I started bloging for Thoughtful Mirth.  Non-comic books include: How Star Wars Conquered the Universe by Chris Taylor (the most comprehensive and fun-to-read book about the Star Wars movies and fandom), Jesus for the Non-Religious by Bishop John Spong, In the Spirit of Hegel by Bob Solomon, G.K. Chesterton’s In Defense of Sanity, and (one fiction work) Leonard Cohen’s Beautiful Losers.

27. What was your favorite new music of 2013?
In the same month we got a new Leonard Cohen album and a new U2 album, and I think both were their best work in several years.

28. Best new podcast?
Stuff You Missed in History Class, On Being, and Star Wars Minute

29.  What did you want and get?
A rubber puppy hood!  *wags*

30. What did you want and not get?
A new person in my department at work.  The other person in my department retired and they chose not to replace her, so I am now flying solo and it’s a lot less fun.

31. What was your favorite film of this year?
Best A-list film:  Well, I missed a LOT of stuff (like Boyhood, Birdman, Gone Girl, Grand Budapest Hotel…) so I think the only new A-lister I caught was Monuments Men.
Best B-movie:  Marvel still dominates: Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America 2 and Amazing Spider-man 2.

32. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Went to Frolicon and had a really fantastic time w/ my pack – especially enjoyed holding Hunter’s leash at his first Frolic – and I got a rubber pup hood for my birthday.  I’m 39.

33. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I will not say “immeasurably” more satisfying, but we didn’t make it to any Shakespeare in the park this year or Shakespeare Tavern or any burlesque shows or any live productions at all!  :(

34. How would you describe your personal fashion concept this year?
One sexy-fun, black and green latex puppy hood… and I received a bunch of nice hand-me-down shirts from my Sir.

35. What kept you sane?
 Just doing my thing as best I can and being a good puppy doggie

36. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
The Rubberman in American Horror Story

37. What political issue stirred you the most?
The midterm election.  I forget the numbers, but only a small percentage of eligible voters participated and they were overwhelmingly white and old.  I think I saw that the average voting age worked out to be like 60.  This is how we get a congress w/ only like a 10% approval ratting but a 90% reelection rate.

38. Who did you miss?
My retired coworker with whom I got along with very well and really enjoyed working with

39. Who was the best new person you got to know?
Cuddles

40. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014:
How fast things can change.  Everything seems stable and moving one way, and the then ground shakes, people split-up, people move away, some new people come into your life, and off things go in some new direction…  Somehow, this year feels very: take nothing for granted.

2014 Year in Review (1)



I have used this format at the end of each year since 2004.  So, let the tradition continue.  I’m going to break it up in two posts.

40 questions about my year (Part One):

1. What did you do this year that you'd never done before?
I went to Chicago’s IML/Woof Camp.  I judged the NC Leather Contest (and was the first pup to pup-out at the Charlotte Woodshed).  I started reviewing comics for Thoughtful Mirth

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
“Sketch in my new leather, hand-made sketchbook at least once a week.” Nope!  I would resolve to try that again next year, but that’s been trumped by a resolution to do a new comic book review each week for Thoughtful Mirth which I started in September of this year.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.

4. Did anyone close to you die?
Branwen, our husky/lab

5. Did anyone close to you get married?
Two of my adorable pack-mates had a really lovely hand-fasting ceremony: eclectic Celtic/Pagan/Leather-pup traditional

6. What places did you visit?
Continued to spend a fair amount of time in Atlanta and SC, did one trip to DC (by way of Monticello) w/ Owner and Poet, but the big travel adventure of 2015 was Chicago (loved the Chicago Art Institute)

7. What would you like to have next year that you lacked this year?
 I have a full-body rubber puppy suit already on the way!

8. What day from this year will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The day my Kitten got her pack vest at CAPEX: the confusion and surprise and joy on her face!

9. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
 I did the illustrations for a children’s’ book that was just published… and we won the Stick & Maggie Red Skull Prize at the CAPEX Halloween party

10. What was your biggest failure?
We failed to save Branwen’s life – but we did give her a very happy, loving home for seven years.

11. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Thankfully, I had a healthy year – only my dog and my Owner got sick

12. What was the best thing you bought?
For myself?  Probably my puppy hood.  Love my hood.

13. Whose behavior merited a celebration?
Everyone who helped us build the Thunder fence, but especially Daniel.

14. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Dumbass dog catchers and dickhead cops

15. Where did most of your money go?
Building the Thunder Dome and paying medical bills (human and bio-dog)  :(

16. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Chicago… but also Southeast Black & Blue, Atlanta Pride, and any time spent with friends, pack, and family

17. What song will always remind you of this year?
I don’t think I had a particular favorite song this year…

18. Compared to this time last year, you are:
Beta to a wonderful pair of omega pups, and “the kids” make me very happy.  *wags*

19. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Well, there are some home improvement things I wanted to work on, but they all got swept aside by Thunder's new fence

20. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Dealing w/ the police and worrying about whether they were going to kill my dog, and then taking my other dog back and forth to the vet to try and save her life.  That was stressful.

To be continued soon…

A Lovely and Loving Weekend



Friday Kitten and I drove down to Poet’s place in SC.  On the drive we listened to an episode of On Being that featured Nadia Bolz-Weber, a Lutheran pastor who is 6’1”, has tattoos and pricings and used to be a stand-up comic.  She is really fun, down-to-earth yet wise, self-deprecating, and really exemplifies Christianity at its best: charity, tolerance, and forgiveness.  Kitten really liked her – as did I.  My thing is, I’m less interested in a person’s particular religion as I am in the spiritual, ethical, and wisdom qualities of that person, be they Christian or Muslim or Buddhist or Pagan or atheist.  But it was particularly nice this time of year to hear from somebody who really does exemplify the best of Christian values (not the Religious Right’s talking points, ignorance, xenophobia, and prejudices – or the crass commercialism of overly-capitalized, consumer culture).

Friday evening, we went out to a beer tasting and then had a great home-cooked meal w/ Poet’s parents, and settled-in to watch some Monty Python before I fell asleep on the couch pretty early.

Saturday was Twisted Toyland in Atlanta w/ the pack.  Our Alpha was back in town.  Which I guess I should explain, since I’m not sure it I’ve mentioned it on here – but the quick synopsis is: Recently, Sir Loki divorced, took a new job in DC, and moved up there w/ his new boyfriend.  He’s still the Alpha, we still belong to him, but the pack is now stretched out from Atlanta through North Carolina to DC… so getting us all together is likely going to prove more difficult in 2015.  We’re still in the process of figuring out how best to make this work…

After getting to spend time w/ pack-mates and family, the next best part of Twisted Toyland was that Ma’am let me put on my puppy gear.  Yay!!!  It felt so wonderful to be out in public, on-leash and in my suit, hood, and indefinitely-borrowed harness.  That really does wonders for my spirit, and I left Twisted feeling like a million bucks.  (Of course, there were also four fairly strong run-and-cokes involved.)  I’ll post some pictures as soon as I get them.

Saturday night we got to relax w/ the pack at Gwynn and Bishop’s Safe Haven.  There were some gifts exchanged.  Two were particularly noteworthy:  Bishop got to present Gwynn with her official pack vest.  Also, the pack commissioned from yours truly an anthropomorphic pack portrait which we gave to our Sir as a Christmas/moving-away/housewarming present.  Pictured left-to-right: Gwynn, Sir Loki, Bishop, Hunter, Shdwkitten, and Emrys.


Sunday was the winter solstice… and wedding day for pack-mates Gwynn and Bishop!  Their hand-fasting was a really lovely eclectic Celtic/Pagan/Leather-pup mix that was just tonally perfect.  I think most of us got a little teary eyed.  Congrats and best wishes again to Gwynn and Bishop.  We love you two.  And their “something borrowed” was our Treehouse’s Tree of Life banner which was also the backdrop in our wedding and they got to use it as their alter-cloth.  That made me smile even more.

So after spiritual wisdom/humor and beer Friday, dawning pup-gear and giving gifts Saturday, and then helping two of our favorite puppies get hitched Sunday you would think my weekend couldn’t get any better and I couldn’t get any higher… but I had one more cool event in store.  My Owner’s ex-boyfriend Pirate (that’s his nickname, Pirate) was back in town, and we got to meet-up for dinner at our favorite sushi place on our drive back home.  Well, Pirate wrote a children’s book and I did the illustrations for the second edition – which is now out, and he gave me a copy Sunday.  I am so pleased with how the illustrations came out.  Love it!  So that was the cherry on top of my very full, very uplifting, very fun weekend.

Everybody have a very merry Christma-Hanu-Kwanza-Yule!

Milking Machines, Pupies 69'n, Beer, Leather Vest, and 2 Good Questions



Last weekend was CAPEX, but I’m going to start two weekends back w/ Atlanta Dominion.  That Friday, Kitten, Cuddles and I drove down to Poet’s in SC where my Owner cooked a delicious steak dinner and we watched Restoration – this pretty good period drama w/ an outstanding cast: Robert Downey Jr, David Thewlis, Sam Neill, Ian McDermott, Meg Ryan, High Grant, Ian Mekellen...

The pug and I spent Saturday w/ Sir and my pack.  We called it a pretty early bedtime, right after dinner – but not before we put Cuddles on the Venus Milking Machine, a $1000, high-end, hand-free masturbation toy that can be used for edging or milking scenes.

Sunday, we brought the Venus w/ us to Dominion, Atlanta’s all-male dungeon party.  Naturally, a lot of guys wanted to try it out.  Because of that, Sir didn’t get an opportunity to beat the fuck out of me, but I did have fun puping-out in the mosh w/ Cuddles, Rex, Jimmy, and Tetsuo.  Hunter joined us and he and I enjoyed doing a 69 on the puppy mats.  *wags*  (Can't do that at CAPEX!)

It’s going to be strange: I don’t know how often Sir will make it back to Atlanta for Dominion from now on.  He took a job in DC and moved up there last weekend.  We’re going to miss him a lot.  It might end up being a little easier on me than the Atlanta puppies.  From me, he’s just moving 6.5 hours away instead of 4.5 hours, so he’s still a weekend trip… and the Treehouse is now the halfway point for gathering the pack, so hopefully we’ll have some good pup gatherings at the Treehouse/Charlotte in 2015.  Since it was a natural stop-over, he (traveling w/ the pack) stayed in Charlotte last Saturday and joined us (Poet, Shdwkitten, me, and Cuddles) at CAPEX.

Before I get to that, let me back-up.  Friday night, the four of us went to “Beers and Gears” as the Charlotte Discovery Place.  They do an after-5 adult only event where all the local breweries come out to share samples, and this one had a steampunk theme.  So the Kitten, Poet and I got on some of out steampunk-ish garb and enjoyed an evening tasting beers and playing w/ the science toys.

Saturday, we joined-up w/ my packmates at CAPEX.  The presentation was good – some cool rope stuff for people who aren’t big on rope.  During the intermission, we sprung a little surprise on my Owner: her official pack vest!  She’s been a part of Loki’s family as long as I have, so we decided that we needed to make her an official second-Handler in the pack.  Since, Ma’am identifies as a white tiger, we had the most amazing vest made for her w/ a leather white tiger carved and sewn into the back below our pup-pride flag.  Ma’am almost cried.  :)

Sir turned-in early after dinner, but I stayed at the party for a bit and did some puppy play w/ the omegas.  The bad news is that, during the mosh, I re-bruised my fucking tailbone.  *whimper*  This happened once before, years ago, and it continued to hurt for over a year.  I’m really, really, hoping it doesn’t take that long to heal this time – but for the time being, it hurts really bad any time I put any weight on my tailbone.  :(

At CAPEX, I got asked two excellent puppy play questions.  One was the basic: “I’m curious about this; where can I go to learn more?”  My usual answer to that is to point people towards the NoSafeWord podcast.  It’s a great show, and about a third of their episodes are related to puppy play.  The most recent one is about “the other end of the leash”: Handlers and Handler headspace… and the polyamours aspect of a pack of puppies (I wouldn’t know anything about that).  Love that show.  NoSafeWord.com

I was also asked an excellent question about: is it cool to approach a group of pups who are playing and (w/o being invited) interact w/ them, pet them, play fetch, etc. or does that violate their scene space?  Great question!  My answer was this:  If there is a Handler present, ask him or her if it’s okay to interact w/ the puppies – just like you would w/ real dogs: “Can I pet your dog?”  If there isn’t a Handler present, then I think, generally speaking, most pups like to interact w/ people and like people interacting w/ them as puppies, so I think most pups won’t mind if an outsider comes up and, w/ good intent, starts playing w/ them and petting them.  For the most part, we enjoy that… a lot!  And if the pups aren’t okay w/ that person entering their scene, then they will probably signal it by just ignoring them or turning away… hopefully no growling.  But, if you see some puppies at an event, feel free to pet them and interact respectfully – the whole idea is that we want to be treated like pets!  (Key word: respectfully.  If you act like an ass and treat them badly, you may get bitten.)

 A good couple of weekends... with ups (congratulations, Ma'am) and downs (we miss our Alpha already).  I'll take the bad w/ the good.  Woof! Woof!
