Mistress chirps for you from a few rooms away. You race through the doorway and down the hall until you see her in the living room, sitting on the sofa, tapping her hand on the armrest to summon you.
When did you get so good at running on your hands and knees? You can't remember anymore, you only have a vague awareness that you didn't used to be able to do it well at all.
You spring towards her, stopping to rub your face all over her feet. You love the smell of her feet, and you love making them smell ever so slightly of you. You look up at her, hopefully. When she invites you up, you leap onto the sofa and lay across her lap.
She plays with your ears gently for a time, poking and petting them, and then brushes your hair. Without her care, you know your hair would soon be a dirty, greasy, and matted mess. With her care, you have a healthy lister. Besides, you LIKE brushies. You like the attention. You like the feel of the hard, rubber bristles on your scalp and skin. And you like how Mistress makes you look.
