Hey there Pups! Today I wanted to share my second featured pup the wonderful Pup Gadget.
When starting out in pup training it can be a whirlwind of fun, exploration and new sensations. As part of my own learning I’ve had a few pups that I consider “pup hero’s”, pups who have gone out of their way to make the pup play scene fun and better for pups of the future.
I’m the first to admit one pup I’ve had a bit of a crush has to be Pup Gadget. His contribution to pup play has been amazing. He has fostered a pup play scene in Seattle with the creation of SEA-PAH, the Seattle Pup & Handlers with pupular events on a well filled calendar.
In 2012 Pup Gadget was presented the US Ambassador for the International Pup Contest and the Bill (Trooper) Boyd “Best in Show” Memorial Award at the Tampa Bay Leather n Fetish Pride. It was an easy decision to have Pup Gadget a featured pup.
So with the spotlight on, Pup Gadget was kind enough to participate in a brief pup interview… So, let’s get going!
How did you discover pup play?
While at Mr S in San Francisco I came across the book on Puppy Play called WOOF!. It looked interesting so i took it home to read it. I tried some of the things in it but sadly I just felt like I was just pretending to be a dog.
Then a couples year later, I met my Daddy Yukon in 2009 and he taught me what Puppy Headspace was. I instantly fell in love with Puppy Play because the Puppy Headspace allowed me to free my head of complex, analytical and technical thinking that I do in my everyday life and in my Techie Career.
Pup Gadget has created a more playful and stronger me which has brought great happiness to my life.
What is your happiest memory from pup play?
My happiest memory was during one of our SEA-PAH Puppy Moshes earlier this year. I truly realized and felt like I was an Alpha. We had over 15 Pups Romping alone but i was also snapping in and out of Headpspace to talk to and advise new Pups and interested attendees on Puppy Play, Puppy Headspace, Puppy Moshes and our group.
I had been searching for a long time to find where I belonged in the kink community. I had tried many places, but nothing was the perfect niche. I realized during this mosh that I had a part in creating this community around me. It made me a proud Alpha to see all of my fellow pups having such a great time and enjoying each other’s interactions and it gave me that sense of community that I’ve been looking for all along.
This memory continues to inspire me as I see so many Pups and Handlers taking joy and happiness and continuing to help grow the Puppy Community. I am glad to see my vision and creation of SEA-PAH in the first year has already begun to influence the growth of our Northwest Puppy Community in the creation of additional Puppy Groups such as VAN-PAH in Vancouver, BC and PDX-PAH in Portland, Oregon.
If you could tell the pup play community just one thing to make pup play better what would it be?
Remember that Puppy Play is really just about having fun and letting go. So try not to make Puppy Play too serious and get down on all fours and let your inner puppy GO!
This pup 100% agrees! Get in and have fun! Let those dogs out!
Thank you so much for contribution Pup Gadget! Have a rocking week!
Hugs and tugs
