Pup Social 3.2 happens in Birmingham, although this time it was in a different venue for various reasons… so, of course, this puppy HAD to go along as he was free to meet up with all my friends and to meet and make new friends *bounds round excited*

We arrived just after the start, due to some poor navigation from my owner who forgot to tell me which junction to turn off at *growls* before we went in, said “Hello” and got changed… Of course, after I got changed there was far more opportunities to say hello to people.

As the afternoon progressed, I found I was actually having more in-depth conversations with the likes of BossBear and a new puppy at his first pup event – Tommy from Sheffield. I also spent a bit of time chatting to members of the Pup Social Team and other puppies who I knew or recognised me at the event. In fact, a good part of the main part of the social was spent talking to pups rather than actually being a pup – but then, I’m more than happy to talk to people or to give advice based on my experiences of Pup Play.

I had some silly pup moments at the social … one was a quick photoshoot with Tommy which the photos can be found on the PupSocial Tumblr feed and at the end of that, someone brought in a video of 101 Dalmatians … so the photo opportunity had to be done
Spot and 101 Dalmatians
*wags*
I also was ‘caught’ being a mischievous puppy when I was showing how dexterous I can be, as I managed to tip all the treats out the treat box … unfortunately there was photographic evidence of this by the PupSocial Team *whimpers*

As the afternoon drew on, I realised it was actually time for food as it was later than I’d though! So myself and Huskin, Marbles, Frosty, Acey and a couple of others ordered some food for delivery to the venue (as the different venue allows us to stay right through the duration and allows food to be ordered in) and I ate and enjoyed that. After some more talking, it was time to be a puppy and I got fully kitted up and was then put in a puppy cage for a bit to chill and relax. The room was fairly dimly lit and peaceful, and so I dozed in and out of light sleep. Some people may think it odd to turn up to an event, but then find out I slept during some of it in a puppy cage – but for me it’s a chance to unwind and just chill out on in the safety of a puppy cage.

As the time had come for some of our friends to leave, I was let out the cage to say ‘bye’ to them, and then found myself speaking to more people about life and puppy play and me … then as the end of the night approached (about 1am GMT), it was soon time to head home as I had an early start on the Sunday. Then came the bombshell – the clocks went forwards *whimpers* which now meant I wouldn’t be getting home until about 3 / 3:30 am BST … and an early start to the Sunday … *puppy mistake*

As I said goodnight to people, I had another long chat with Tommy at the event and hopefully helped him out a bit! I may not have been a puppy in the full mischievous sense during this Pup Social, but I enjoyed the time talking to people, helping them and also learning and reflecting about me too!!

What an awesome venue to hold PupSocial in though!!! so much play space and so much to do … I hope they can hold it there again *wags*

Puppy Walk – London Mar 2016

On the Sunday following Fetishbound & Collared, I was taking part in a puppy walk in London – a chance to wander around dressed as a pup in the heart of London… and when ever possible I’m not one to turn down a chance to be a puppy *bounds round excited* 🙂

After checking the arrangements for the meeting location, it was time to set off on our journey. The weather in the morning wasn’t very practical for travelling in Lycra though – it was a fairly cool day and so I had to travel in domestic attire 🙁 On arriving at the venue, we met up with the organiser of the walk and waited for other pups to turn up before heading off on the route… as the set off time approached, the pups went off to get changed, and then it was time to set off on our walk *tugs on lead*

Our walking route took us from the meeting location via New Scotland Yard, Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square and eventually ending up in Victoria Palace Gardens. On route round we also found a cycle shop …. ohhhh so much lycra to look at … unfortunately through the window as it was shut!!! Due to being out in the public we were stopping along the route at many places to pose for photos or to talk to members of the public. The ending of the walk in a park meant that there was also time to play some fetch 🙂

I ended up doing a fair bit of the walk on all 4s which was great fun… unfortunately, by the end my knees slightly hurt, and this was my fault since I knew there would be loads of pictures I wore my softer knee pads – which was a mistake … I should have realised we were outside and so should have worn my hard wearing pads. However, it was great to do the walk and barking at passing members of the public was great fun as was the interaction with them in general.

Oh, and one other memorable moment on-route was when we met a small bio-dog, who at first wasn’t sure of us as we looked dog, but didn’t smell dog … We were happy to keep walking by, so as not to cause any trouble, but the owner was persistent saying that it’s fine, and eventually the little dog was happy to be with us – so much so that it wanted to follow us on more of the walk. After a short while, we were stopped for more photos, and so the lady and her dog carried on and left us to it.

Here’s a handful of images from the walk for you to enjoy

Fetishbound & Collared – March

I took advantage of having some free evenings, which coincided for once with events in London, to attend both Fetishbound and Collared recently(ish!) in March.

At Fetishbound on the Friday, I had a chance to meet some new people and catch up with some old friends… Although I wasn’t quite with it, as this week had been quite emotional one of self discovery. I did pup up and have some fun with squeaky toys though. I even found the time to curl up and have a ‘sleep’ in the dog cage *wags*. This was a nice relaxing evening where I got to just be a puppy and have some fun, but reflect on what I had learnt from earlier in the week 🙂

At Collared on the Saturday, I went along earlier to meet with @PupBrock and @PupOnHisKnees for a chat before heading to the club to then met up with @MarblesWoofy and @CarlHuskin when we got there.

I started the evening off by chatting to someone about my Pup Life as they were quite inquisitive about my attire after a while, I noticed that Huskin was being tied up … and then I started being mischievous … but he had an opportunity to get his own back on me later in the evening!

I was taken by one of the pieces of bondage furniture they had in the venue, and ended up strapped on a bench that could tilt me almost upside down… now of course, while this was going on, Mark, Marbles, Huskin and my owner were teasing me at the same time. It was unfortunate that I didn’t get to spend as much time upside down as I may have wanted to as the others wanted a go, and we only had limited time, but it was still fun. I don’t think, though, that any pictures were taken of this 🙁

As I was released, Marbles was strapped in… so I took some time to tease him before it reached the point in the evening where we had to go home, due to plans for the Sunday and also tube train schedules.

All in all, it was a nice few evenings, where I was able to reflect and be a pup for a few hours.

Following on from Mr Puppy EU

CddI6eAW0AAtcNH

I thought I’d put paws to blog over some of the other aspects of the weekend in Antwerp…

In amongst Mr Puppy EU there were moments over the event where I had free time to visit some of the other stands – unfortunately due to the nature of the event, photos aren’t really permitted in general – but we were lucky enough to take some shots of me doing a couple of activities which don’t have anyone else in them…

For the first time ever, this puppy got a chance to play in a Vac Cube that was at the event, and what an experience it was. I had to first remove my hood and paws and harness so as not to tear the rubber. Then it was a case of climb inside through an edge, place my head through the neck hole and once comfy, they sealed me inside. … Then the vacuum was turned on and after a few seconds I started to get encased fully in latex. Once it had fully deflated around me, I had a bit of time on all-4’s which felt very natural for a pup… and then they turned me! I was now head facing up, and all of me was exposed, yet still on all-4’s! A bizarre but very comfy feeling. They they turned me again to face sideways, again fully exposed but now sort of lying on my side, but in a stance of being on all-4’s! … Having a try in a vac-cube is something that has always been on my wish-list to do … and now I’ve had the chance to do it, I want one for myself!

The pic are taken as snapshots, so aren’t the best quality they could be, but they give you the idea of what I was up to… though my tail looks rather ‘interestingly wrong!!!’ and almost looks rude!

A new purchase was also made when we visited a stall with some behind the back bondage cuffs meaning that there are now new ways to tie this puppy up… In due course I’m sure there will be pictures that will include these cuffs in service!

Once the event of Mr Puppy EU was over, and Leather Pride had finished, I was able to do something that had been tempting me all weekend whilst being a puppy – There was a frame over the Camp K9 area that was there with the specific purpose of suspension. I didn’t get a chance to do the suspension, but I did decide to jump up to it and then ‘hang around’ for a bit whilst up there – almost being semi gymnastic with it … Just wish I’d done it earlier and had more time to ‘pose’ whilst hanging there with my own paws 🙂 *wags*

Finally, on the Monday as we were leaving, we paid a visit to Mister B in Antwerp; having a browse around and a chat with the staff about various things; including that they recognised me as the E-Stim Systems puppy and that I was the UK winner of Mr Puppy UK (Though the jacket might have helped that as a clue). I also munched on their puppy treats they had, which were really nice and had a sweetness to them!

There was lots of things we could have bought, but we decided to be good and I only came away with some new white knee pads – which are discontinued, so I’ll need to take care of these ones! Reason for so little purchases was due to having only a small amount of limited luggage space left for the flight home.

*wuffs*

Mr Puppy EU 2015

As part of winning Mr Puppy UK, I was automatically entitled to be entered in to Mr Puppy EU, held at LeatherPride in Antwerp, Belgium. This would be fine, but this puppy hasn’t been abroad in over 12 years, my passport was long since expired and lost… Thankfully, and to my surprise, between Christmas and New Year a new passport arrived for me. Pity I had to just be domestic in it though!

With my owner travelling abroad more often than I have, he was put in charge of flights and hotel bookings, and all I needed to do was drive to the appropriate airport, make sure I had all the pup gear with me and perform at the competition.

Thankfully, both sides came together quite well – we touched down in Brussels, and headed to find a train to Antwerp. Both my owner and I were initially disappointed, however, when we discovered we couldn’t go on a double decker train and had to make do with a normal train. However, due to the price differential, we did manage to book first class which was nice and comfy!

We arrived in Antwerp, duly booked in to our hotel and found our room was MASSIVE! We then got things sorted out ready for Saturday and then thought about heading out with two things in mind: finding the venue location so we knew where we were going on Saturday and also to go out to find food 🙂 It turns out that our “Double Room” was actually the suite though, so we were extremely happy. We wandered around, found some food and then after food we followed some people dressed in leather and headed up to the venue with them to see where it was and plan the route from the hotel… this was probably perhaps just as well, and thankfully an easy straight walk to and from the hotel.

The Saturday duly arrived, and with the bags packed for the trip out, we headed off to the venue. As part of the Mr Puppy EU competition, I was having to stay for a dinner afterwards, but my owner was not able to. We started off with being introduced on stage in front of an audience, before heading back to Camp K9 for a playtime and a chance to meet and chat. Next on our agenda was a chance to play in the mosh pit in front of the judges with the other pups – which was great fun if a little tiring! Unfortunately due to schedule changes on the main stage, most of the competition was now to be held on the Sunday!

The Saturday also gave us a chance to wander around the venue and see what else was going on; chatting to people from Regulation, and spotting a Vac Cube that people were able to play in.

By the time Saturday evening came around, my owner left to go for his food and back to the hotel while I went to the meal… well, it was just as well I remembered the route home, as I was a very happy puppy at the end having consumed quite a fair bit of red wine… the only thing I remember is that I talked to lots of things on the way back to the hotel, and that every puddle seemed to come out and catch me! After rinsing Spot and hanging him up to dry, I sorted out Sunday’s attire and then curled up for the night.

The Sunday was the big day… I put Rubber Spot on in the hotel room due to it being light and spacious before we set off down the event. Due to the weather, had to pull on my combats and fleece over the top though, which was a bit of a shame. The reason for the rubber was that I was dressing to impress at the interview stage of the competition *wags*. The interviews were the first thing of the day, so after the nerves of that were over, it was time to get changed out my rubber in to the normal Lycra outfit.

A chance for a quick rest, then it was on to the obstacle course, set up around the Camp K9 area. I thought I did quite well at this fun and enjoyable task, but it was completely up to the judges who were watching. After the Obstacle course, it was on to lunch – porridge in a bowl with some Pain au Chocolat and Belgian Waffles as a side snack. To say I made a mess eating this was an understatement…. I had porridge everywhere as I ate like a puppy would! Though porridge sets like concrete on the end of my nose!

After a period wandering around selling raffle tickets, it was on to the next two items – the final two things on Main Stage before the voting – a “Howl Along” and a “Puppy’s Got Talent” contest.

First up was the “Howl Along” … this was to be done in a similar way to “The Voice” from UK TV … 4 judges face away from the contestant and if they like what they hear as a song then they turn around. … I had a mental block and forgot the second part to my song and so my owner rushed back to grab my phone so I could do some last moment listening to the track to try and memorise the second half to my song. 2 pups before me and then came my turn! I was scared and nervous – not helped by the fact I still couldn’t remember the second part to my track. Too late now! The track started…
“*screech of tyres* … It must be Cruella. Your dearly devoted old school mate. Cruella de vil – that’s it”
Then I started to howl Curella de Vil as a pup. I got through the first bit ok, and then came the bit I couldn’t remember – so I just howled Crulla de Vil over and over. Thankfully not for to long as moments later the compare said to stop the track as all 4 judges had turned round. I was so relieved that was over!

One pup had a second chance due to being unable to hear his track – and I rushed out to support them and help them along with the beat of the track as they deserved all the help that could be given. I know that once he’d completed his moment, all the other pups dashed on and gave him a hug too.

The “Puppy’s got talent” was more fun, but not as well executed as I’d have liked … I tried to do some drawing with my puppy mouth – which was fine without the pup hood on, but unfortunately once the hood was on I couldn’t see the pen. … I made do with the best I could, and presented my paw print and name on paper to the judges and then after a quick moment on stage I wandered off backstage having completed the Talent section.

Then it was on to the public voting … and just a chance to casually wander around encouraging people to vote for me 🙂

Finally…. we were on to the results section and it was time to gather in the “backstage area” for the results – all of us nervous but supporting each other. We were all dragged up on stage, introduced and then the results were announced. Due to the time it’s taken for me to put paws to blog, everyone knows I came 3rd 😀 *wags*

There was a great camaraderie amongst all the entrants, and my congratulations to Bjoyd de Woef for winning!

We then proceeded to head out to a meal with the team and Bjoyd and then it was time to head back to the hotel, pack up and get ready to head off on the Monday morning.

… but that wasn’t all that went on during the weekend. Part 2 to follow shortly 😉
