i have given this alot of thought. W/we have a puppy in r/l. it isn't his choice to be owned, although he enjoys being owned. it isn't his choice to do what i tell him, but he obeys because he loves to please me. i sit and stroke him in my lap as i read or watch tv, also not his choice but he loves any attention i give him. i provide all his needs, he provides me with complete love and devotion.
i am a pet because of all the things that make my puppy a pet. he doesn't always please me, like i don't always please my Master and although i have never flogged my puppy he gets consequenses too. i treat him well because i love him and he is mine to care for.
i love to sit at His feet, i love to please Him. i am owned beyond choice, yet i love that He owns me. He takes care of me and loves me and has so much affection for me that i understand what that means to me. thanks everyone.
