`I awoke to feeling of Master's feet hitting the floor. I opened my eyes to nothing. My sleepy time outfit still in place. As I felt Master cross the room to my cage, I gave as big of a stretch as I could, my paws touching both ends of the cage. As he opened the crate door, I sat on my hind legs and whimpered softly. It was hard to whimper with a gag in place, but I think they heard me. After all, it was the sleepy time one, so much smaller than the regular daytime practice one I had been training on.
He patted the top of my head and rubbed the inside of both ears. I wanted so badly to tackle them and lick their face. I love their head pats so much that it almost makes me forget my training, but I waited. I learned that waiting to do things in their order lead to yummy treats and eventually he would let me tackle lick them, I just had to be patience and I would get both.
"Good morning puppy girl," he said while carefully touching the parts of my face that were free of the blindfold and gag straps.
I nuzzled my face into their palm as lovingly as I could. They slowly removed the blindfold and then the gag. I squinted in the dark room. Master was careful about letting me adjust when blocking out one of my senses. When they plugged my ears for a day, they whispered to me for hours, letting me adjust again. I closed my mouth completely for the first time since early last night. It felt like my mouth was incomplete and missing something. I felt drool already filling my mouth, but I kept it closed. I looked up at Master and was so happy to see them.
"Would this puppy like to go to the dog park today?" asked Master stroking my chin as he started looking over the rest of my body, checking to see if my tail plug was still in place and whatnot. I barked happily and wagged my tail.
