Puppy attacked his advent calendar this morning …. but got caught in the act!! *sheepish puppy* *hides behind paws*
*WAGS* … Ironically, even though I’d been caught attacking my advent calendar, I still got given an christmas present!!
*wags* and *nuzzles* … Hope Santa Paws brought all the ‘good‘ 😉 puppies presents
Last Sunday saw the final Heros of 2011, and probably the last time that Spot will be out and about this side of 2012, as well. Due to the nature of my day job, this is now an incredibly busy time of year for me, so I suspect time relaxing as Spot might be minimal. *tail between legs*
Firstly, a bit about an event before Sunday. On Friday of last week, I was off out the house doing some domestic things, when my owner answered the front door to a Fedex man to sign for a parcel for me. My owner tells me that as he took the parcel and put it under his arm to sign the PDA that they use and he heard a tell-tale squeak from the bag. When he set off to meet me, he brought it with him and a little while after we met up I realised what it was: It was a thank you gift from Mel at Bound 4 Bondage consisting of a squeaky chicken, a squeaky elf, a rope tuggy toy and a bag of chocolate buttons *wags tail*.
I have to say that Sunday’s Heros was relatively busy but also relatively quiet – there seemed to be a few people there, but not much actually going on… although this could just have been an impression I got as both my owner and I were fairly shattered and I spent a fair amount of time being a peaceful puppy. I towed two of the toys mentioned above along with me – the squeaky elf and the rope tuggy; as well as the packet of buttons, *innocent look*, which I spent some time playing with, before settling down on the floor for some head scratches and disappearing into my own little world where I have no real worries and just became a calm, sleepy puppy. There was a quick game of tuggy with the rope toy, and fetch near the end of the evening, but all-in-all this pup just spent his time relaxing and unwinding after a stressful working week.
Remember: There’s no Heros in January, due to it being New Year’s Day.
It’s always a bit sad writing the blog post about Day 3 at Erotica – not because it’s not any good, but more because it means the weekend has come to an end… Erotica is not just about the show for me, it’s also about giving me a chance to unwind, meet friendly faces, catch up with friends and having fun spending time in the dog cage with Bound 4 Bondage
So… On with the details of what happened today.
Thankfully, the tube journey there was quite successful, and we actually arrived in plenty of time. Having finally realised the same thing I usually realise on the final day, I got changed just in the corner of the stand – there’s no public around and there’s a lot more space than in a toilet cubicle. After getting changed, I had a wander round and to say hello to a few people and see if anything immediately jumped out at me, but nothing really did. After a quick cup of coffee, I ended up being back in my ‘spiritual home’ at Erotica – inside the cage resting 😀
I was left there for a few hours, just idly watching the sea of legs walking past me, with some stopping to take pictures and pet me, but eventually had to be let out to go and find a tree. When I was out and about, I again went for a wander and this time we grabbed our lunch, with the intention that I’d go back in the cage for a bit before the Fetish wear Demonstration… this did happen, but with a slight distraction… as we were approaching the stand, I heard a squeak. Well, anyone that knows me knows that I can pick up that specific, distinct type of squeak from a distance so I dashed back to the stand, only to discover that Caz from E-Stim was standing there and had bought me presents of two squeaky toys. *wags tail and gets excited* I was allowed them in the cage with me, but only on the proviso that I didn’t squeak them too much!! *whimpers*
I got back in the cage for a bit, but then went and changed for the Fetish-wear demo… and decided to drag the squeaky toy up with me. This certainly caused hilarity, at least among my fellow ‘exhibits’ 😀 It was decided after the demo, that as a treat, I’d be allowed a bottle of cider, as by the time we left for home, I’d be fine… so after a bottle of cider, the pup was put back in the cage. The next thing I knew, it was almost 90 minutes later, and I’d been asleep! No one, from the visitors to the security staff, can understand that I actually quite enjoy sleeping in a cage. I got out and stretched my legs, and then went back in for another hour or so… but this was my final stint in the cage – although, I did spend about 30 minutes after this just sitting outside the cage like a good boy. *wags*
At this point, it was decided that it was time for me to take a quick wander around, and have some dinner so we went and investigated upstairs, and watched a bit of the cabaret show from there, and eventually worked out way down to see the end of it from the ground level. A final stroll around stands, saying goodbye to a few people we probably wouldn’t see later on and it was back to the stall. By this point, it was starting to quiet down, and for the last few hours, I spent the time up and about and not in the cage… handing out business cards, posing for photos and just having a chat with people.
The end of the show came, and then the de-rig started… so this pup became useful. Everyone knows that pups prefer the cardboard and bubble wrap than the products… so I was in my element dragging around the boxes and bubble wrap for repacking all the goods that were left in to. My owner and I stayed and gave a hand with this bit, before this sad puppy had to say his final goodbyes to everyone and make the long journey home.
I’ve enclosed a few other pictures of me from the day. As I said at the beginning of the post, this is always a sad day as it means saying goodbye to friends I probably won’t see until next year, and also the 3 days of excitement, playtime, and most of all for me, relaxation have come to an end.
Later on this week, I’ll write a further blog post with my highlights of the week, a few pictures from the stage show that my owner took, and also, and any other reports and pictures I can find on the web so keep an eye out for that.

Spot
Oh, just realised I forgot to add in the Xmas posts … I stayed round at a friends for Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day she sent the Black Labrador Guide Dog that she has in to wake me up in the morning … Well, from what I got told I ended up with my arm over the dog and went back to sleep as if the Black Lab was a cuddly toy. *Wags*
For Christmas I got a chew toy, a tuggy toy and doggy wipes (Like Baby Wipes but bigger, and won’t taste nasty if you lick it… I think!).
Annie stole my tuggy toy, but I rescued it back before she got too far away from me with it.
Mum gave me a Dalmatian pyjama case … which I didn’t let go of all Christmas Day whilst at Mum’s … and when I did let go of it, they hid it from me *whines*.
What was slightly awkward was unbeknown to me, Scamp had bought the same present for me … but at least I know have twins … *wags* … Splodge and Dollop (I had to rename one of them :() … well, I realised that: Splodge, Dollop and Spot are all forms of paint. A Splodge of Paint, A Dollop of Paint and a Spot of Paint … hehe
Well, Christmas night, I stayed over there again, but this time Annie jumped in the bed with me and wedged herself between the wall and me!! Well, now I know what my owner feels like!! Not long after I got comfy, Annie had her back against the wall, and then pushed against me with her paws!!! EEEEEEEEEKKKKK, the edge of the bed fast approached. Luckily Annie’s paws don’t stretch to the edge of the bed, so I didn’t quite fall out!
Well, all night Annie and I slept together, 2 pups in the bed *wags*.
I know I’ve said it before, but I do think that the pup in me is far more than just me playing role-play … I live it and breath it and really am a pup in mind, and in body (well as best as I can be when by nature I’m a human body)
A minor oversite to the last post(s) … I got a present from Scamp late October which I forgot to mention *paws over eyes* … They were a little Pup Dalmatian … but with a BIG head … hehe, and a door/notceboard placard with a sleeping Dalmatian on it, and the caption is: “I’d quit work, but I’d have nowhere to sleep”. *Wags Tail*, *Licks* to Scamp.
The start of the November saw this pup being quite busy, Firstly a midnight showing of the Exorcist on the Friday (or is that Saturday) finishing at 4:30am on Saturday morning. Then this pup was doing something that most pups would hate… helping out (or more accurately, being the king-pin … what would they do without me!!!) at a fireworks evening…. arriving on-site at 8:30am Saturday (Only 4 hours of sleep at most!) and then leaving at about 10:30pm! This meant two really long days, but the weekend did culminate in my monthly visit to Heros.
*Puppy hangs head in shame* since most of the night is a blur to me, but I did spend some time talking to Rover and his surrogate handler for the night, as well as conversing with Mortice and Kye too. This pup also got a present… everyone seems to be giving this pup dalmatian related presents, but I can’t think why *paws over eyes*
This time, the present turned out to be a bookmark with ‘Is this your spot?’ and a Dalmatian underneath. The only draw back to Heros was that the only doggy treats on offer were chocolate covered raisins (*GRRRRRRRRRRs* at Kye), which this pup doesn’t like. However, the night was exactly what I needed – a chance to unwind and be myself for a few hours after the previous couple of days.
Not really much else to report BUT… this pup will be visiting:
again, for the entire three days helping out:
so look out for me there. You’ll probably find me mostly locked in a cage at Stand K6, but I’ll be let out for food and walks occasionally too!
*woofs*
