#like idk I've seen bratty pups before ofc but I feel like that's not 1:1 with the dynamic I'm thinking about here

gonna struggle to explain some internal thoughts and emotions real quick.

I do find the stereotypical helpless naive lapdog type pup play sentiment very cute and relatable and good, but I do think a big part of my personal relationship to pup play is that as the puppy I still retain autonomy the vast majority of the time. and I think it's interesting because I haven't really noticed this sentiment expressed by other pet players, at least not directly? (unless I'm forgetting). like as in, outside of a few specific fantasies, it's usually important that I retain some level of power in the relationship, and when I act obedient or play with aversive tools or whatever "subby" activities, that's something I'm choosing to do even within the kayfabe of the play, and not because I'm being forced or controlled thru domination.

and I find this concept very fulfilling and affirming in a way that's hard for me to explain in words without it sounding corny as hell, but also more than that I think there's something very fun and hot about the dynamic that's worthy of exploration

like yes the handler is in charge, but the dog is a big powerful animal with sharp teeth who can ultimately do what it wants. the handler is the "dom" and the dog is the "sub" but that hierarchy is not set in stone, and it can flip at a moments notice. so when the dog listens to the handler and follows instructions and is a good boy, the handler is both pleased but also always aware that this relationship is only working because the dog is allowing it to work. the dog is only giving you kisses because he's made the choice not to bite you. (and one day he might choose to bite you).

does that make sense. do you understand my vision. or does this still just sound corny out loud. this post is like a train of thought diary entry to me so if the concept isn't translating, it's ok just know I have a very specific dynamic in my head that I'm rotating and thinking about a lot
