serious stuff
Jun. 13th, 2002 08:17 pmi could sit outside with Max for 23 hours and he wouldn't do a thing but sniff around and sit and look cute. But take him in the house for 3 minutes after that 23 hours and he pees and poops like there is no tomorrow. What is going on with this dog? So i get on the internet and find several articles that say the same thing about house training a puppy. This morning, of course, he messes in his kennel. i think he did that just to tick me off. I take him out anyway, for 10 minutes, like the articles say and then put him back in the kennel when we came in. Fifteen minutes later i take him out again for 10 minutes. Nada, nuttin, zip, zilch no thing hapens. Bring him in, kennel him, and wait 25 minutes. Out again, nothing again, in again, kennel again. Master says He'll do it this time. 15 minutes, He takes Max out, Max pees. Damn dog.!!! Master comes in, all happy and smiley telling me what a good dog Max is. Aha, sez i, but did he poop? No. Well then, sez i, You had better get the balcony door open or there is going to be a mess. And i was right.
The gist of it is, the dog does for Him, but not for me. i'm the one who plays with him, who feeds him and makes sure he has water. i'm the one who snuggles him and tells him what a good dog he is, and he poops and pees for Master. Now i ask ya, is that fair?
We went shopping for him. Of course. Got a new expandable lead for him, a brush to keep him shiny, some shampoo, although i don't expect we will use it much. i'm from the school that if the dog is healthy it doesn't need to be bathed very often, and some 'doggie aftershave' classic sport scent. OK, ok, so shoot me for a fool. i don't care.
i've been thinking about that color test thing. i'm a blue. One of the things that disturbed me about that is whoever wrote up the test believes that blues are the most controlling personalities. That bothered me. What did it mean? i wondered if i was not being honest in my answers. i took it again. i'm blue again.
All week long i've been thinking about this. Wondering how i could be slave and have a controlling personality. Then, i had an epiphany. It is a testament to Master that i am blue and so completely controled by Him. He has dominated me completley. Now my world is good again. His dominance is what i need to give up control. My personality may be to control, but because of Him, i am able to give it up. i think that is pretty cool.
This may connect with my thoughts on not being BDSM as is often discussed in the lists i read. We have a Master/slave relationship. He dominates me. He keeps me in my place. He helps me learn about myself and expand my horizons. i trust Him totally. i know i can live without His help, but why would i want that? Our lives are good together. i am good for Him, and He is good for me. We complete each other. And that is as it should be. That is why we are so good together.
He says maybe we aren't soul mates. The dictionary defines soul mate as one who is tempermentally suited to another. He says He knows He has some eccentricities that fluster me. He said that with a laugh, but then He said for the most part we are. i don't know if i like that or not. Sometimes i think i shouldn't ask questions i might not like that answer to.
One last doggie post. No messes in the house today. We are making progress.
