PhoenixRed -> A positive thread.... (7/14/2009 6:28:48 PM)

Hi all!
I took a break from the boards since about January. There have been a number of reasons why, both positive and negative. But that's not what this post is about. Upon my return to the boards, especially this forum, I have noticed quite a rise in the number of threads about burnout, being tired of the same old, same old topics that always seem to get started over and over. So, I thought it was good time to start more of a "feel good" kind of thread about positive things.
Background: In Jan, I dissolved the last of the D/s relationships that I had been in, the longest lasting a year. My hours at work were ridiculous, working 14+ hr overnight shifts, mostly nights and weekends with no end in sight. So, I decided to just "be" for a few months. I had also started to become more active in my local community just before that. Went to local events, even though I didn't have a sub to play with there. Wasn't really looking for one either. So, off I go to the closing event of a local group that operated one of the few "on premisis" play parties in the area. A friend came up to me and said "Hey, there's a new boy here, I already warmed him up, wanna beat him?" lol "Sure!" I said. The boy was already naked and strung up in the middle of the room. We had a short talk about yea's and nay's and we proceeded to have a great scene. I figured, great, that was fun, but that's all it was. I met him again at a social about a week later. He followed me home like a puppy, and we've been together ever since. I guess good things do sometimes happen when you least expect them! :)
Current: My dog is 14.5 yrs old. A bit over 2 weeks ago, he started having persistent seizures and "manic" episodes almost every day. It got to the point that I was scared to leave the dog alone. My mate has been going out of town for week-long trips for the last 3 weeks, so he couldn't help monitor the dog's condition. I had to start facing the reality that I may have to put my furry child down. My sub and I worked out our respective work schedules so that I went to work shortly before he got off from work. He went home, got a change of clothes, and stayed with the dog while I was at work. I stayed home most of the day while my sub was at work. There were a number of times that my sub was asleep when I came home from work, and then I was asleep when he left for work. I am so grateful that I had this wonderful man helping me to take care of my sick fur baby..I can't even tell you how much that meant to me that for 2 straight weeks, he was over at my house almost every day, helping me out. There is a happy ending for the dog, btw...we switched him to a new med (valium) and he's been seizure free for almost a week now.....back to the same old dog again!
So, to the point of this post...I really wanted to put forth a very positive experience I've had with my sub that meant a lot to me. There was no play time between us while all this was going on. It really gave me the warm fuzzies inside when I realized I can count on my sub to be there for me, whenever I need him to be.
Whether dominant or submissive, male or female, play partners or in a committed relationship...here's a thread to acknowledge, brag or whatever, about the things your partner does that just make you get those warm fuzzies. I hope there are a lot of wonderful posts about terrific people!
