When I was a kid,
before I knew what sex and fetishes and D/s and everything was, the neighborhood kids and I would play house. Everyone picked their roles: mother, daughter, father, son, grandparent, etc. I always chose to be a dog that talked. The puppy named “Puppy”. I would get on my hands and knees and beg for treats and bark and even let myself get scolded and smacked around if I did something bad during the game. I remember a few times, the kids would tie a rope around my neck and lead me around, like one would with a leash. I remember being locked in a cage as well, while the other kids did something else in the room, like “cook” or “clean”.
It’s funny how my mind has always wired this way, even as a child.
