I don’t know about you, but for me, my tail is very fucking important.
It’s one of my core ways of expressing myself, it’s my connection to my pup self… It’s part of me. It’s important.
I’m not sure if you saw my Facebook status the other week but needless to say it certainly got a reaction from my fellow pups.
So here’s the story. A good mate of mine wrote to me very upset, he was in pain, and worse he felt humiliated.
The night before my friend had decided to head out to his local leather bar in his pup gear. He was really proud, he looks great and he wanted to give his new tail (one of the new colored SquarePeg tails) a spin.
Overall the night was going well but there was this one drunk idiot… Sadly this guy was being a fucking dickhead. Pulling on his hood, grabbing his collar, you know the normal stuff that people who have no idea how to handle pups think is “funny”.
Up to that point my mate was brushing it off and just gently moving away but sadly this dickhead wanted to keep on at it.
Thinking it was funny he grabbed my mates tail and yanked it out of his ass, and we are not talking about the gentle way we remove a friends tail, this guy was brutal. My mate was mortified, embarrassed and most of all in massive fucking pain.
Can you imagine it? I don’t know what would be worse, the embarrassment of having your tail removed, or the pain of it it being pulled out so unexpectedly.
Thankfully the bouncer was not far away that that dick head was quickly ejected from the pub. Sadly my friend was left feeling a combination of pain, embarrassment and red hot anger…
Fuck, if I was there I would punched him so fucking hard…
This nasty episode kind of had me thinking. What is the best way to express your pup self and not leave yourself open to this sort of stupid behaviour.
One thing I am grateful for is that Sir, my trainer Pup Boss, has always told us to never go out as pups without him. Now I can understand why!
Beyond tail pulling idiots, not going out in pup mode has also helped reduce the chance of bad interactions that can leave a pup feeling confused or bad. I’m glad that Sir has been with me as he’s always had a answer for some of the more bizarre questions people seem to have about human pup play.
Fuck, some days I just want to scream, go read the fucking Sirius Pup website, lol.
Of course I know I am in a very fucking lucky situation. Not all pups have a master who can watch over you so today I wanted to offer some suggestions that might help avoid dramas when out and about.
Probably the first thing I would say is always prowl in a pack. A lone pup is going to be a target for all sorts of dickhead actions. If you are with other pups the chance of anything getting out of hand is much much lower. Failing that at least hang with people who are your friends who you know you can depend.
As for wearing a tail in public I am not a huge fan.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love my tail but I also have an ass that starts to get twitchy after a tail has been in for about an hour. More often than not that tail starts to work it’s way out no matter what I do. For this reason I will only wear my tail for extended periods if I have the safety of a harness to catch my tail should it develop a mind of it’s own (and trust me it does!).
The other advantage of a harness is that it’s protection from any yanking, both accidental and less accidental. You see it has a ring that holds the butt section of the tail in place. Hmmm, probably easier if I show you a video 🙂
I made that video a few weeks ago and I hope it explains how the the holder work… The key point is that ring that the tail pokes through holds it safe in place so it will not be going anywhere fast.
Overall I am glad that my friend is ok but his confidence was really knocked after that episode. Thankfully his ass is ok and I ended out giving him my harness. Poor bugger I am glad that he has it, not that he will be wearing a tail out for a while.
I know that this was not the normal light posts I sometimes do but I thought it was a pretty important one. No pup deserves to be humiliated. I hope that perhaps this may help prevent any other pup having to go through a similar situation.
I suppose the key points are to make sure you are with good friends, probably best to leave the tail out but if you are keen to express your pup self via a tail, make sure you have a harness to help keep it in place. I love my harness and it’s great to know I won’t be shooting my tail across the room when I’m getting deep into pup space at a mosh…
Hugs and tugs pup 🙂
