Toys!!!

Dragon came home with a mysterious purple shopping bag.  The only place I know of that uses purple bags is the grown-up toy store.

First Dragon pulls a small bottle of silicon lube out of the bag.  Next up are the toy cleaning wipes.  I KNOW we don't have any toys right now. We throw them away after a few months and buy new.  I just think squick after a while.

Last he pulled a set of butt plugs out of his magic bag. The first one was reasonable.  Not too big.  Maybe even on the small side.  The second and third weren't too big either.

The last two?

Good grief!  Where does he think that is going?

Not in my backside.  Wowza!!!!

Dragon says that we are going to take it slow.

We shall see.

So far?  We played at using the smallest one.

Why Does it Always Surprise Me?

After 20+ years together Dragon still has the power to surprise me.

How?

Simple. He believes in me.

I am training a young puppy to be a mobility assistant.  I get a little unsteady at times and a dog does more to keep me on my feet than a walking stick.  She is the third dog I have trained.  As usual, there is a problem and as usual, it is my fault.

I listened to bad advice.

My little girl is shy. She has no problem with other dogs but really doesn't want to say hello to strange people.  My thought was that it is a good thing.  She needs to be calm in public and ignore all the distractions. So,we were working on that. Calm and aloof.

Nope. Not good enough for the trainer we are working with.  The puppy has to act like a politician on election day. ?????

The other problem? Engagement.  The trainer thinks she is too focused on me.  I don't think she is focused enough but she is still a puppy.

New tactics and a new trainer coming soon.

We are going to work on trust.  The puppy needs to trust that I won't put her in danger.  Lots of new places, cookies, her favorite toy and her blanket.  People around but not touching.

Lots of work on basic obedience to increase her confidence and more engagement games.  I am going to work on some specialized training.  It is not to soon for her to start Learning her job.  Touch, take, drop, up, off, find.  Ahhh hide and seek is so fun to teach.  The goal is to teach her to find my car keys.

I have a plan. We have 4 more classes with this trainer.  I am going to treat it like puppy play time.  During this time I am going to interview other trainers and find one that works for both of us.

So...

What surprised me?  Dragon just spent $$$ on a mobility harness that won't fit her for months, a touch pad and another Leerburg training video.  This took me by surprise.

Why?

His purchase says, "I believe in you. You can turn this frightened little puppy into a service dog."

Before Dragon, no one believed I could do anything.  I wasn't smart enough, fast enough, good enough or pretty enough.

For Dragon, I am enough.

Crying now.  I need to go find a tissue.  Love my man just a little.

Daylight savings time

Don't forget to set your clock one hour ahead!

We get up one hour earlier.  Yawn.  I am so sleepy.  It feels like I got up an hour early.  But it won't get dark as early.  More daylight when it counts.

:-)

A Reluctant HOH

We agreed that he wouldn't micromanage my life and I don't expect him to.  We are easy going most of the time.  Fights flame up and end without any fantastic fireworks.  Most people will miss what makes it work. It is so natural that they won't see his leadership or my submission.  It just is.

That is why I was so surprised to get a text from Dragon this morning.  "Treadmill, text me when you are done"

Shocking!!!!

About an hour later...  "Treadmill?"

And when I still didn't send him a text "??"

Do I really need to say this?  I thought it was hot as hell and he thought he was being an ass.

No.  He was concerned.  He thought I was procrastinating.

Yep.  He was right. I just didn't want to get hot and sweaty.

Next day....

Ooops.  I fell asleep before I finished my post.

After I practically seduced him when he walked in the door, I think he understands how much I liked his insistence.  He understood it so well that he set up my sit up bench.  It is now together.  I just have to find a spot for it in my sewing room.  I didn't want it with the rest of the workout equipment because I like to work abs when I do cardio.  And since the treadmill is in the sewing room, it is perfect.  :-)

Dragon said to expect a text today.  No promise of a spanking.  Good girl or otherwise.  The garage is too cold anyway.  But he is being so darn sexy that....

Well...

My spanko friends understand.

I hope this is the start of something fun!

Bed Time

Last night we got home at almost midnight.  The first thing Dragon noticed was an empty dog crate.  The crate belongs to a rescue pup that refuses to house train.

Ut oh is right.

The search was on.  Where did he puddles? Just when I thought he was a good boy I discovered that he was VERY bad.

I sat down on my bed.

Yes, I did.

I found it.

He left a lake on my bed and I sat in it. Ice cold, stinking mess right on my @$$.

Ick.

What a mess.

We cleaned up the flood of urine the best we could.  Baking soda rocks! And discovered that we didn't have another queen sheet. That was a twin and nothing we did was going to make it fit.

We rotated the mistress to put the mess at Dragon's feet, put a stack of bath towels over it and used a twin flat sheet for the night.

Miserable.

But...

Now I have a new mattress, bedding and pillows. I am going to be sleeping in a strange bed tonight.

The old mattress was a the cheapest you can buy and after 3 years of use, it was dead anyway.  My once beautiful white quilt was stained and the pillows were flat.

It was past time for new.

I am so excited.

Sheets are out of the dryer and the new quit is in the dryer and the fuzzy blanket is in the wash.

Everything has to be washed before use.  The hazards of living with asthma.

I wish I could say that we are going to give the springs a workout but after getting no sleep last night and mattress shopping today, we are exhausted.

Sleep is the only thing we have in mind for tonight.
I am looking forward to some good sleep. Love making will come when we are both rested.

Happy birthday Dragon!  He is now 42!

A new bed was an unexpected gift but we had to have it.  That dog made sure our pitiful excuse of a bed was ruined.

Nasty Gram

Hmmmm the mystery.

The nasty gram blogger put in my blog is gone.  It is no more.

It isn't listed in terms and services.  It is just gone.

Shivers

Cold weather is back.  Our little Indian summer is over.  Can you believe it was 80* one day last week and freezing cold this week?  Okay.  40 isn't freezing but after last week, it sure feels like it.

Dragon worked on my car for a little while Sunday.  The cold front hit Saturday afternoon.  It was a bit nippy but not bad inside the garage.  I didn't want to drop my jeans.  Shivers! But that didn't save my backside.

My first spanking of the year was short, fast and stingy.  By the time he was done, my bottom was burning good.  I wanted long with a slow build-up but we were both ready for the heated house.

It wasn't a punishment. It wasn't long enough to be a tune up.  Since his hands were covered in grease from working on the car, there was no petting. Not what I would call an erotic spanking either.

I'll tell you what it was.  Sexy as all get out.  Sometimes fast and hard hits the spot better than anything else.  Sure surprised me. We made love after dinner.

I love how ttwd brings us back together.  Even talking about it, writing about it sends tingles to my lady parts.

I have chores to get done and an Elizabethan corset to make.  I have to work before I can play in the sewing room.  I am reading Sunny's book "Star Crossed Cowboy".  So far I am impressed. She has really grown as a writer. I'll review the book when I have finished reading it.
