Being owned to me is first and foremost a complete sense of security, protection, and love. i don’t really like the term “property;” i find it dehumanizing and demoralizing. Even a slave is still a human being, with basic needs that must be met. i own my house, my cars; they are property. But while they can be damaged, they cannot be hurt. i have no responsibility or obligation to care for them beyond the fact that if i don’t, my cars will not run properly and i won’t be able to drive them; my house will not be comfortable and fit for living in. However, i own my dogs, but i do not consider them property. i have the responsibility and obligation to take care of them, to protect them from harm, to give them food, water, medical care, love and attention, training, discipline when necessary. i have the responsibility to do this without neglect or abuse. i have the responsibility to ensure their physical and psychological well-being (yes, i’m one of those weirdoes who believe animals have psychological needs). And yes, i even believe my dogs have the right to be well treated. i own dogs because doing so gives me pleasure; in return for my care, i expect them to love me, to play with me, to comfort me when i’m sad, to give me company when i’m lonely. To me, my being owned means the same thing; i am my Master’s pet. Obviously, i have more capabilities than a dog; but essentially i feel that my Master has the responsibility to ensure my mental, emotional, psychological, and physical well-being; to train me and discipline me when necessary; to love me, give me attention, and to care for and protect me. In return, i feel that i have the responsibility to make my Master happy, by serving His wants and desires, by giving Him comfort and making His life more comfortable, by being His companion, His pet. But because i am not an animal, it also means more. Being owned by my Master means He also owns my thoughts and my feelings; that every second of the day He is in my mind and my heart even if He is not by my side; that everything i do, i do with consideration of how it will affect Him. It means that if i anger Him or disappoint Him with my actions, it impacts every aspect of my life until i have received my punishment, done my penance, and made Him happy again. It means that if He is hurt, i hurt; when He is sad, it makes me sad; when He has energy, it gives me life; it means that if His requests are not fulfilled, then i have failed Him.
