Outings

Spot’s had two outings recently, both in to London.

The first of these was last Saturday, the 18th to Fettered Pleasures as we had heard the store was closing down and we went for one last visit, mainly as on a previous trip, I’d been asked to come back as Spot – so I duly did so. We both had a look around and a chat with the owner as best we could, but in the end we came away empty handed.

However, the good news is they are only closing the physical high street shop; they shall be continuing to trade online, so we can still buy anything we saw that we might want.

The second trip out was today, on what has to be one of the warmest days of the year so far. Today’s trip was to be a walk with a collection of people from a couple of kink websites I am a member of, who meet up regularly for walks. I started off thinking it may be too warm for the Spot Zentai, so I set off from our “local” tube station wearing some running shorts and a vest but with a couple of other options in a bag my owner had.

Although we were running late, we arrived at the train station in time to catch the train which others were getting and meet up with Scamp and his partner. As we got off the train at the other end we realised everyone else was on the same train *paws over eyes* as we’d sat at the very back of the train as we got on it just before it was due to leave.

We started off walking from the station, following the ‘Capital Ring’ and, as usual, we got lost – taking a slight detour than the one we were meant to take. As far as we can tell, we’d just misread a sign OR walked straight past another one telling us where to go. Oh well, so then we set off on the main route. About this time I decided that it would be better to be in Spot and pup mode rather than just in Lycra out for a walk … so I dived off the path in to the woods to change. On rejoining the group, we carried on walking, getting a few stares from various people and road users as we crossed roads and wandered through parks.

Part of the walk usually involves people taking over from leading the group, and at times I was in front, following the signs, being a guide dog – or as someone said ‘a pointer’ leading the way – still, we found base number one which was to be a cafe. This prompted the first audible comment of the day “Is that man in his pyjamas?” – the answer is, of course, no, I wasn’t. We carried on walking, and stopped for refreshments where Rover (who organises the walks) owner sponsors a brick. This meant that I crammed two of the cookies Scamp had made in to my mouth – the whole cookie at once! This also meant we could get some group photos and the pups could be a bit silly.

The rest of the walk followed the same format, stopping occasionally, following signs, chatting and walking and being pup like. The few people who made comment on me did at least realise I was a dalmatian – as usually they think I’m something else!

The walk was actually quite pleasant, and I wasn’t quite as warm as I thought I might be in the end! We finished the main bit of the walk at Charlton Station, where we got a train a couple of stops then had a walk through Greenwich Park to reach a pub which someone knew of. We then had a couple of quiet drinks in the pub before heading for home, still dressed as Spot. When we were waiting on the tube at Canary Wharf, a group of girls asked me why I was dressed like I was. I just replied ‘Why Not?’ and they said ‘fair enough’ and enquired if I was going to a party. I said no, but I had been out for a walk earlier. Also, a lady wanted to take my picture on the tube, so I let her 🙂 Unfortunately, on arrival back at the car, I had to get changed back in to domestic clothes due to needing to stop at a petrol station on the way home 🙁

Heros – Sunday June 5th

Following on from Sunday’s Walkabout, we went on as a group to Heros, arriving just before 6PM and it was pouring. As the club wasn’t open, we spent the next 10 minutes standing under a bus shelter until we spotted the owner of the club turning up, at which point we got let in!

I think 7 is the most people I’ve seen in the club just 5 minutes after the doors opening… but as I was already dressed as Spot (since I didn’t get changed after the walkabout), all I had to do was put my civilian clothes in my bag, put my paws and knee-pads on and I was good to go.

I don’t actually remember much about the evening, as I managed to drop in to pup mode which means I don’t really remember much about the evening. I do know that I spent some time on the floor playing around with Scamp while we were both being mischievous pups. I also remember lifting Scamp up on my shoulders, and nearly banging his head on to the shelf a projector sits on. *paws over eyes*

Along with playing with Scamp, the night at Heros provided the opportunity to catch up with friends old and new, including Kerwin who’d flown over from the states to attend Heros and a friend of mine, zentaiskeletonuk who’d been attending his first Heros. I also spent some time trying to squeeze through gaps between the Bar Stools and the Bar proving that I’m both a skinny pup and that pup’s have no sense of the size of holes! Thankfully, I didn’t get stuck though. I also vaguely recall playing tuggy with someone, but not doing quite as well as I usually do due to having no grip on the concrete floor.

This pup certainly enjoyed the time out, even if he can’t remember most of it, and a chance to unwind for the evening.

Hyde Park Walkabout – June 5th

After what had been a relatively nice week, weather wise, it was somewhat disappointing to hear that the weather wasn’t going to be so good on Sunday the 5th, as that was the day that had been arranged for a walkabout in Hyde Park for The Zentai Project.

The weather didn’t deter us though, and plans had been made for 4 of us (and my owner, the photographer) to assemble around Speaker’s Corner at 2PM for the meet. Unfortunately, one of the group were running slightly late, so 3 of us met up and wandered down to the toilet’s I’d used to change when I came here for the Morph Meet.

After a bit of a wait, we all managed to get changed (it was quite busy and there were only two cubicles!), we all congregated outside the toilets and set off around the park. The weather was very lightly drizzling on and off, and the park didn’t seem to be quite as busy as we’d expected it to be – what with the weather not being as nice etc.

Due to the rather low numbers of people around the park, there wasn’t as much chance of audience reactions that we usually get, unfortunately. However, there were a few notable incidents in the walk…

A police van with a rather large number of officers in the back was driving round patrolling the park and stopped a bit further ahead of us. As we approached the van, one of the officers jumped out the back, and while we were expecting a comment to be made (like no hoods for example) all he did was make a rather bizarre passing comment, get back in and drive off. At least we must have made them smile which is what it’s all about.

My owner, being dressed normally, commented as we walked over a bridge to cross the serpentine, that a number of cars, including another police car, seemed to be pointing at us and looking amused by the 3 of us out and about… so at least they seemed happy as well!

We also met a couple of tourists just after crossing the bridge, who wanted pictures taken with us… and then started asking us for London Travel Advice – where’s the nearest tube station etc.

We headed to the Princess Diana memorial fountain, and were approached by someone asking the common question of “why are you doing this?”, and we responded in the usual way of “for fun” he persistently kept asking why we were doing this… as if he couldn’t quite grasp the concept.

Shortly after we left the memorial fountain, we met up with Pippin and did some posed pictures on a park bench while working out what to do. The consensus was to finish wandering round the Serpentine, and head back to the toilets to get changed. As we did this, we got stopped by a couple of tourist groups wanting pictures with us, which we were happy to oblige and we stopped for a couple more group photos for the website too.

We headed back to the toilets, decided it was time to get changed, and just after we did – it started to rain – really rather heavily; more by luck than judgement that we’d got changed. We’d been walking for about 90 minutes by this point, so we headed up to KFC for some drinks, a debrief and to review some of the pictures. We then headed off up to Heros…. but more on that in a different blog post.

Secret Dungeon Visit

My owner and I recently became aware of a dungeon which had opened locally – The Secret Dungeon located in High Wycombe, not a million miles away from home. We went along the other week there to just check it out and see what equipment they had and what we might need to bring etc.

However, last night (Wednesday 1st June) we decided that we’d book it for 4 hours and go along and have a play. The dungeon is ideally located for us, on the way home from work – so we duly packed up our “extras” in the morning before we headed off, ready for the evening play session.

After leaving work and getting some food, we duly turned up for our 6pm appointment and after doing a few preliminaries, we got settled in to playing. The dungeon is 3 rooms… the main dungeon, a ‘kitchen’ area with tea/coffee, soft drinks complimentary with the hire and there are other things to buy, including lube and frozen dinners. The third room is a bathroom with a large shower, underfloor heating (perfect for the subs!) and the usual facilities.

With the hot and humid weather, and having done a 5k run at lunch time, it wasn’t entirely practical to be dressed in the Zentai, so apart from for a few pictures, I spent the time naked, and remained comfortably warm which is always a benefit – shivering does rather ruin the mood for playing 🙂

The biggest benefit of any dungeon is the chance to play with the things that it’s not entirely practical to have at home – suspension hoists and big furniture being the main things, and it also means that we can do other things which may be too noisy at home … the other benefit of visiting a venue of this nature is being away from normal life and being able to just relax, be ourselves with no external influences (the front door bell, telephone etc.)

We started off with some inverted suspension, something which I thoroughly enjoy but is definitely not doable at home – I don’t think the ceiling beams would survive in a fairly modern “cardboard” house 🙂 After a few pictures in Spot, I enjoyed a cool energy drink before the serious play started. I was back upside down, with my hands attached to thigh cuffs out the way and this gave my owner a chance to do something he’s wanted to try for a bit — having me connected to both E-Stim boxes AND both outputs of the Series 2B box. This produced an interesting sensation and was very enjoyable but left the puppy a little wound up… I had to be let down as my feet were going cold to the touch so it was deemed sensible to finish the activity and allow the blood back to my feet – as of course, safety and comfort is paramount in any of these types of activity.

After a quick break to cool down and once I could stand on my paws (which were still in the suspension cuffs which makes walking rather interesting) I ended up attached to a St Andrews Cross with my legs spread over a metre apart – STILL being teased with the main E-Stim electrode – only to have the sensations further compounded with being blindfolded, having a multi-wheel pin-wheel used on me, nipple clamps attached and being lightly paddled occasionally to further compound the sensations!

When my hands started going numb, it was time for another quick break, another can of juice and time to change activity again – this time I ended up locked to a “Mantis Chair”, with the pup hood on. I’d been given a break on the E-Stim by this point in time, but that didn’t change the fact that I was still experiencing different sensations – with no idea what was coming each time. All this leaves this pup very wound up – but for some reason my owner knows exactly when to pause or change the sensations I’m experiencing.

After a quick pause outside to get some fresh air, I experienced the final activity for the night – something my owner had wanted to try. We have a Darlex (very heavy duty Lycra type material) Straight Jacket on loan to us from a friend, which my owner wanted me to be in – while suspended upside down. After a few “misfires” we finally worked out the easiest way of suspending me with less risk of injury – put me in the straight jacket after I’m in the air – we managed to get me suspended and again I experienced sensations with no idea what was coming due to the jacket being hooded.

After that finished, we found our time was coming to an end, so puppy had to help get all our own toys packed up and also return the cuffs from the various equipment back to their usual homes (as we use our own cuffs as it saves taking them off each time we leave equipment) we packed up and got ready to leave after an enjoyable 4 hours (which flies by!).

Spot’s out and about on Sunday for the monthly visit to Heros, and also this month, a Walkabout in Hyde Park in the afternoon.
