oooooh... *drools* the word 'pet' just gets me overly-excited-happy-content-horny.if.you.will, i love the sound of the word, it's small, precise, has a nice ring to it. to me it has a calming effect, though, too. i mean, i could be called bitch, slut, slave, harlot, wench and the such throughout the day but when the word 'pet' comes in i know i can relax, speak more freely. it takes me to my safe place faster if that makes sense, more of a settling down time word. i have to be honest, i have connected the word with 'care', although that doesn't have to be true for everybody, perhaps it has to do with personal connotations.
and, by the way, what is second life?
