wolfie, you commented that a dog is easy to keep, just a leash, kennel and bowl. well, not to Me. A dog, to be well kept, requires training, grooming, good diet, regular health care, etc. That said, I will add something you might not have thought of and I might have at one time required of a dog slave: the Working Dog category! I owned, handled, worked with and loved a beautiful Golden Retriever Guide Dog. She was intelligent, responsive and flawlessly trained and to walk down Van Ness Street, harness handle in my hand, confident and secure, was a treat! Yes, I was nearly completely blind for some time and My Guide was an actual canine.. now My eyes have been operated on and most of My vision restored. But I will never forget the joy of feeling that bond between us! I enjoy puppy training but I think it would be difficult as Distance training or online or telephone training. It would require person to person, hands-on work. Were I to take on a puppyslave now, I would fashion a guide harness and once again have a Guide Puppy! One of the concepts that I really like is that of Intelligent Disobedience. The handler says "Juno, Forward!" and the dog, seeing a car turning in front of them, stays put, even angling his body across that of the mistress to prevent harm. Since intelligence is what I highly prize in ALL my slaves, that facility in a dog, canine or human, is desireable! The ability to THINK. So yes, a puppyslave is very attractive to Me and were we to live closer together, I'd definitely think of it. By the way, anyone wanting to read a tribute to My beautiful Golden Girl, Google the phrase "Now I know why" and along with it, the name "Delsie" and the page will come up. She died on 9/11/01 within 15 minutes of the WTC collapse. There will never be another like her. Lady Sonelle
