I Miss My Collar

I thought about getting your collar yesterday, when I put the knee-highs on. I figured you must be missing it, but you seemed to still be recovering from the other night.

Plus I get so much from our simple being together these days that I’m mostly glad last night turned out the way it did and wouldn’t exchange it for anything else.

Also, the more rested and happy I am, the better the fetish play will be when we (finally?!) get ‘round to it.

I bought my pet a heavy gauge choke chain today and some pet toys. I hadn’t been able to find a choke chain I liked when I bought his leash. It is harder to find chain leashes than it used to be.

We bought two barbell-shaped toys—one has a little bell in it, and the other is a traditional squeak toy.

We enjoyed playing fetch and tug of war (just a little—can be hard on little puppy teeth) today.

He can’t get his jaw around a tennis ball, though somehow he manages to get nearly all five of my toes in his mouth when given the opportunity. (Hmm.)

To get the chain around his neck, I had to buy a very long chain (28”?).

It hangs down his chest, as if it’s begging for someone to take hold of the end and lead him someplace.

I am thinking of this as his “please play with me” chain.

While I was cleaning up the house prior to Alexandra’s return I ran across a training collar that we’d bought but had been lost and forgotten. Never used.

It has sharp points and can tighten like a choke collar. It is only made of plastic but that keeps it safe.

Don’t know why I didn’t think of a metal choke collar, they were long a part of my fantasy life. Particularly when connected with something similar around the testicles.

My first pet actually had a metal collar with prongs on the inside. These are sold for larger dogs and are called “pinch collars.” An example can be found here: http://www.fordogtrainers.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=34

They sell them at the major pet shops, which is where I bought mine.

He regretted, when we bought it, that the spikes were not sharp, but found once it was on that even blunt spikes pulled against one’s neck are quite convincing.

I prefer choke chains; I find them more elegant, and it was very difficult to fasten/unfasten the pinch collar; it was possible to pull links out without too much trouble but popping them back in was not easy.

What the last pet wanted was a shock collar. They’re a fairly large investment, so I never bought him one, for which I’m grateful now. (I never bought the cattle prod he wanted either. Have I mentioned he was a heavy masochist?)

I suppose, after having done some reading, that I agree with the apparent majority opinion that these are safest worn around, say, the genitalia as opposed to the neck. Though even if he had been aware of this, I don’t think it would have made a difference to him.

That is a pretty exciting collar. Matches many an old scene that I’ve imagined.

I wonder if he got the idea of a shock collar around the neck from the same place I did: an episode of the original Star Trek.

But that image was pushed out of my mind the first time – on Ms. Christine & David’s mailing list - of a collar about the testicles. It has long been on my short-list of the most mind-bending BDSM. Though it was a long time before I didn’t think it was just a S&M urban legend.

Recently I read of a guy who sometimes has to wear two of them: one about each thigh. I was quite envious.

I think your first pet could’ve taught me a thing or two about masochism.
