“What was that all about?” I woke up thinking. I had to laugh nervously as I turned over “That was the strangest dream I think I’ve ever had”
As I sat up, I heard the trot and the claws clicking on the hardwood floor and in seconds, there she was “Hey Shelby” I said as my Golden Retriever sat down in my doorway, her face happy as always, her tongue lolling out as she panted a bit.
“Who’s my good girl?” I asked swinging my legs out from my covers. Shelby bounded over and playfully jumped up as I stood up.
“Come on girl…I know you need to get outside” I said as she fell right in step beside me going to the back door. The yard was fenced in so I didn’t worry as I let her out. I watched her run out, nose down sniffing around. I closed the door and went in; she’d scratch at the door when she was good and ready to come back in.
I made some coffee and at first, I tried to ignore my dream. But I knew I couldn’t so instead, I thought about it.
“Why would I dream that I was Shelby?” I thought as I stood by the window looking out into the backyard and watching her.
My dog, made her way to the tree and looked up in it. She trotted to the side of the yard and looked through the chain link fence, I could see her black nose flaring from where I stood as she took in the smells from the breeze.
She chased a leaf, she fought a stick, gnawing on it while stepping on it at the same time so it wouldn’t get away.
But last night, that had been me.
In my dream, I was just suddenly a dog. I don’t remember changing into one, I just was one. The first thing I remember was just walking on all four of my paws, feeling my shoulders and hips move me along. Things were blurry in my sight and washed out. I could still see most colors but nothing red. Grays and browns seemed to color other things but my sense of smell.
Smelling made things vivid and alive and colorful. It blew my mind how well I could smell. Common smells were so much more, I smelled things I had never smelled before but I knew what they were, where they were and how far away.
I smelled other dogs and knew which one was which in the neighborhood just by putting my nose up and sniffing the air, just like what Shelby was doing right now “I get it girl” I said.
I also remembered how my paws felt when I walked. The give on my pads, the click of my claws; it was fascinating.
I saw Shelby heading up so I opened the door for her so she could come in without stopping.
I walked back to my bedroom and she followed me. Upon going into my room, Shelby went to my closet.
“Odd” I thought “She has never gone over there and just stared in before”
Shelby just sat looking up at my clothes “Did you dream about being a human last night girl?” I asked jokingly.
“Woof” she gave an enthusiastic sounding bark and a little jump before turning and coming to me and sitting down right in front of me.
“Should I take that as a yes?” I asked as she looked up at me with her big brown eyes.
Shelby put her paw up and I took it in my hand. I just shook my head “This is too weird” I said.
I was still working from home and would be for the rest of the year. I had a good system down with getting through invoices and emails in about 4 hours a day and then just being logged on and grabbing things as they came in.
I wasn’t getting formally dressed at all these days so I could understand Shelby looking longingly into my closet. I did miss it some days but most, I was perfectly content to just stay at home in my comfy shorts and loose tops.
I logged in but my computer was taking forever “Great” I mumbled. Unfortunately, it would be a sign of my work day. Everything took forever; I was logged out at least a dozen times, scan of invoices were fuzzy and the emails I sent were not getting responses.
“Soooo frustrating” I said. I picked up a tennis ball from the floor and bounced it playing with Shelby to take my mind off of work.
I watched her chase the ball down the hall, catch it in her teeth and trot back proudly with it in her mouth. “That looks like so much fun” I thought even catching the first inclinations of excitement in me.
I cut that thought off real quick. “What the actual Hell Julie!” I shook my head and got up and paced for a bit “You’re going stir crazy! Shut that shit up right now!” I told myself as one hand went to my temple and the other to my stomach. I pushed my long blonde hair back, getting it out of my face.
After walking around a few minutes I sat back down and went to work. I didn’t care how slow my computer was running, I concentrated solely on work.
I ran to the grocery store and took Shelby on a walk. I had done alright at keeping my weird thoughts away for several hours, but let’s just say, taking my dog for a walk that night was not a great idea for my sanity.
As soon as I grabbed the leash, I got excited. Shelby of course heard the very faint clink and jumped up for the highlight of her day. Pushing down on the release with my thumb to latch the leash onto her collar started it.
Instantly, my mind flipped us.
For a brief flash, I pictured myself in Shelby’s body and Shelby in my own. I was so happy and excited to see her with the leash in my hand.
My stomach fluttered all the way up into my throat. My spine tingled. I was so confused.
“Am I enjoying this? Am I turned on? Am I scared of it? Why am I even thinking about this!? It was just a stupid dream, it probably lasted for like 5 seconds last night…why can’t I stop thinking about switching places with my dog?!”
“Ugh!” I let out confusing poor Shelby who cocked her head at me.
I smiled at her and got down on one knee. I rubbed her face and around her ears as I latched the leash.
But not before I thought “What would life be like without thumbs?”
“Oh! Stop it!” I said out loud to myself. Shelby was already standing at the door ready to go so she didn’t mind me talking to myself.
We set out but no matter how hard I tried to not think about it, the thoughts kept coming one after another.
“What if I walked on all fours? What is she smelling? How exciting is this for her? What if it was her on the other end of the leash? She would have all the control over me; I’d be totally dependent on her for everything…ok…that’s way too dark. How good would it feel to just run…go on one of her zoomies?”
I guess I just gave in to them, I let my mind wander the whole time we walked and I took our long route since it was a nice evening. It was at least something different to think about.
We got back and that meant it was dinner time. Shelby went and stood by her bowl. I put water down for her first which she lapped up and then food which she devoured. Any bits that flew off were vacuumed up at the end by her tongue.
I couldn’t concentrate on reading and watching TV was just making me tired so I decided to go to bed. Shelby followed my lead and sat by the bathroom door as I showered. She was staring at me as I stepped out dripping wet and naked. “What? Don’t like what you see?” I teased her with a look of raised eyebrows as I toweled off “At least I don’t shake and get you wet too like you always do to me”
Shelby smiled at that remark.
“Yeah…I know you understood that remark…You love getting me all wet after bath time” I told her.
She continued watching as I brushed my teeth and put on a tank top and shorts to sleep in. When I crawled into bed, she went to her doggie bed by the door.
I woke up with my heart pounding and my left hand swatting, rubbing against my sheets. I blinked and read my alarm clock seeing it was 3:02. I think I had been kicking too or running my feet because my sheets were loose at the bottom.
I flipped over onto my back. I heard scratching coming from Shelby. Her left front paw was swatting and her hind legs were kicking.
The dream had recurred. But it had also been longer and much more detailed.
This time it had started with me standing in my living room and Shelby sitting in front of me. We’re looking at each other. Then, we start to change. In my dream, I had watched myself shrink and change into a dog. And while I did, Shelby changed into me. I saw her fur recede, her legs lengthened until she could no longer sit on her haunches. She starts to shift and rise up as her legs shift forward, her paws turn into my feet, down to my blue toe nail polish. She stands and at that point, I felt my hips pop and I was forced to sit. She rises up, her belly fur pulling in, her arms lengthening, her paws turning into hands. My own legs shrink and I am sitting unlike anything I’ve ever done before. I feel a tail push out and begin to wag and swish back and forth against the ground.
I watch her muzzle pull in and my face forms. The last of her hair all pulls to the top of her head. I see my nose growing out longer. My vision changes as I’m watching my nose turn black at the end of my own muzzle. I was so intent on watching Shelby I now realize that I’m covered in fur. I have paws. My tongue is lolling out of my mouth, drooling. I stand up on all fours and bark.
Shelby looks down at me and smiles “Oh my Gosh! It happened! We switched! I’m a human! And you’re a dog! You’re MY dog! How awesome is this?!” she gushing, bending and squirming in joy, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
The dream next cut to me walking down the street on my master’s leash. I look over and see her sneaker clad feet pounding away. I try to get ahead and I feel the pull at my neck. But, I’m also smelling everything, feeling everything and it’s exhilarating.
I force myself to get up and walk to the bathroom. I forced myself to look in the mirror just to make sure I had my own face…no signs of doggie face.
I was still tired so I went back and laid back down. Part of me was afraid to go back to sleep but eventually, the night won.
I awoke with a start, then I let out a long sigh “This is getting really weird” I mumbled to myself “Three times in a row…” I added sitting up. I looked to the doggie bed by the door and found Shelby laying with her head on her front paws looking at me. “Is there every going to be a night now that I DON’T dream about being you?”
Shelby gave a little whimper, then a bark. She sat up and then walked to my bathroom. She turned around in front of the toilet, gave me an uncertain look, and then half sat before walking to the door.
“That’s new and definitely not helping the situation…you looking like you want to use my bathroom…does that mean I get to go pee in the yard?” I asked her as we went to the back door.
<Bark>
“Is that a yes? Oh really…and who made you the boss around here?” I asked as I put my hands on my hips “Last time I checked, I was still the one with thumbs around here to open the door”
Shelby just looked up at me. “Uh-huh…until that changes; I’m still in charge”
I made my coffee while she ran around outside doing her thing. The coffee didn’t taste right so I put it down after 2 sips.
Once again I spent the day doing my routine as my mind kept wandering to my very lucid dreams and what they might mean. I google searched ‘dream of being a dog’ which did not come back. Being given a dog, being bitten or attacked by a dog and a lot of other dog dreams came back, but nothing quite like what I had been dreaming.
After I shut off my computer for the day I stood up and turned around; Shelby was sitting right there. I looked down and she was looking up. I got a shiver up my spine and I shuddered.
“Are you ready for your walk?” I asked.
Shelby turned around and ran off “I have to change clothes…it’s a little too chilly for me to go in shorts today…” by that time she was returning with her leash in her mouth “Oh you are anxious today”
Shelby dropped the leash at my feet. I bent down to pick it up. I slipped my hand through the loop and Shelby stepped her one paw down on the other end. My life would never be the same again.
I remember feeling a shock in my hand like static electricity initially but then, it spread throughout my entire body in an instant, paralyzing me, I know my back arched, my mouth opened and my eyes went wide. I heard a howl from Shelby.
Maybe I blacked out but only for a moment. I remember blinking a few times. I dropped the leash and patted down my chest and I could hear Shelby shaking, her collar tags clinked and I could just hear the ‘thwip-thwap’ of her body and head whipping back and forth.
I looked down and her fur was just laying back down from being raised up. As she sat down on her haunches, I felt a numbing sensation settling into my hips and despite feeling suddenly very hot, no sweat broke out. But my mouth opened and I stuck out my tongue.
Shelby shifted, she didn’t look comfortable and the look in her eyes was one of pure confusion. She whimpered and whined accordingly.
Our eyes were locked on one another, it’s like we both knew what was coming. The pit of my stomach dropped “Oh my dear God no” was all I thought. “There is no way in…oh shit!”
I felt a million pricks on every inch of my body as hair…no…fur…began to grow on my body.
I saw the tops of my feet getting fuzzy, my forearms getting hairy and fur building up underneath my shift, pushing it out already as it built up into a golden coat. I was so shocked, I couldn’t speak. “Uh…AH!” were the only things I could manage to utter.
I looked at my dog; she looked bigger. Like her shoulders were wider already and her coat looked thinner. I could see pink skin in places where her thick fur usually covered up everything. Shelby looked calm, much calmer than I felt and I’m sure looked, even to her.
Shelby’s legs looked thicker, I was watching her grow and develop thighs I quickly realized as fat built up pushing her hind legs out further and further. She began to lift her butt up; she couldn’t keep sitting like a dog. Her hips gave an audible pop.
Her legs slid, changing direction and position and suddenly, Shelby was on her knees! She had human looking knees even as her calves now began to change behind her. Her back paws shortened and widened, soon, they would turn into feet.
My own toes felt numb. I tried to lift them up and wiggle them but they wouldn’t move for me. They looked thicker and shorter somehow. I tried with all my might to separate my toes; they wouldn’t budge.
I gasped when my toenails turned black and began to narrow at first and then grow longer and begin to curl. “Claws!” I put my hands to my head and ran them through my hair “Holy Shit! My feet are turning into dog paws! I…I’ve got claws!”
My toes popped as my fur spread thicker. They changed into pads on the bottoms of my feet as my feet narrowed and my heels lifted off the ground. My knees popped and I wobbled momentarily before losing my balance. The world spun around me as my hips popped and basically reversed, thrusting my ass out and my legs down. My thighs trimmed down rapidly as my entire legs changed.
I no longer could call them human; I had a pair of hind legs, the legs of a dog.
Shelby and I were face to face just above the ground. I could no longer stand on my hind legs but she couldn’t raise up yet. I glanced down and behind her seeing smooth fully formed human legs. Her feet were finishing up. I saw her toes form, her claws recede and flatten out into toenails. She gave them the wiggle and separation that I could no longer manage.
Shelby dropped lower as her chest began to lengthen and change shape. Her belly fur was gone and now I watched as her nipples vanished except for two. The skin shimmered, glistened with sweat as it changed appearance.
On the other hand, I felt pressure building up at the base of my spine. My ass was pulling in, losing every last inch of human form. My chest now began to shrink down. I knew I was getting smaller all this time but now, I really just got the sense that Shelby was larger than me.
As my tail began to push out, my shorts pushed down and I somehow managed to step out of them, taking my first real movements with my doggie legs and paws.
Let me tell you that growing a tail is truly a unique feeling and experience. I felt that pressure build up like nothing before in my life. Just as the pressure got to a feeling where it felt like there was nowhere else to go, I felt a bulge and release. I looked behind me and saw that I had a little nub on my backside.
That little nub then began to feel different, like a true extension of me. It wiggled back and forth and then it too began to grow. My jaw dropped “Ahhhhh! I’ve got a tail!” I yelled as it stretched out and fur grew off it in long tendrils that filled in to form a long Golden Retriever tail.
I found quickly that I could control it and that it did a lot of different movements.
Shelby got a surprised look on her face as her own tail sucked up inside her. She shivered as the last remnants of it pulled up and in.
Looking down, I saw that Shelby had very little fur left on her arms. Her arms which were lengthening and lifting her up higher. Suddenly her shoulders gave an audible pop and rolled. Her front legs shook as elbows popped. Her wrists formed as her paws widened and dropped. Once again I watched as her toe pads shifted and separated creating fingers. She wiggled and moved them all about especially moving and rolling her new thumbs.
Shelby now stood up.
She was a bit shaky but she gained her footing, standing upright for the first time in her life. She planted her feet and just stood.
I swallowed hard as I watched her spread her legs as her sexual organ slid forward into the position and placement of a human female.
I had to concentrate with all my might as my own slid backwards and rose up.
“Shelby” I said in a very shaky voice “Please take care of me…I didn’t…I always took good care of you right?”
Shelby looked down at me, understanding in her eyes, almost a hint of compassion. At least that’s what I hoped I was seeing.
I felt warmth as my coat continued to thicken. My breasts were receding; I could feel them pulling up as I was on all fours they had pendulumed a bit and now I felt them shrinking and tightening back and up. I could tell I had small mounds left but only momentarily before I went flat. A slight itch developed as my additional nipples broke out in rows.
I felt a shove in the center of my back and I visibly grew smaller. My shoulders narrowed to match my hips and then with an audible pop, I felt my body just roll. I closed my eyes fearing I would smack into the ground but my shoulders and arms reformed and adjusted to my new forced anatomy.
I was canine in build. My arms shrank down, thinning incredibly as they went. I couldn’t even fully comprehend how my arms worked at these angles. My wrists lifted up and my hands slimmed down turning into furry paws. My fingers shrank down and pulled under. I once again felt pads form up and felt my nails growing until they tapped the wooden floors as my front claws.
My neck muscles strengthened, I could feel those thickening into long cords and I lifted my head upward.
Shelby’s hands moved about her muzzled dog face, touching and running over it. She was poking at her fangs when they decided it was time to change.
I could feel my own face going numb and pushing out as Shelby’s pulled in. We had synced up in our final moments of our life changing swap.
My chin and jaw rolled up as my mouth and nose grew longer and larger. I felt incredible warmth explode in my ears as they began to grow.
New sounds and new smells came to me in such intensity as my nose grew into a muzzle and my ears grew big and floppy. They stood up like a German Shepard’s ears for a moment until they flopped over on me.
Shelby’s hands picked up speed grabbing and pressing and touching as her muzzle pushed back into her face forming up into a human chin, jaw, mouth, lips, teeth, nose and cheeks. Her ears shrank away as they moved down her head to the sides.
The last of her fur styled itself around the top of her head into my long blonde hair as my own hair lost its last defining features and simply became more fur.
As my teeth shifted and grew pointier along the sides and smaller in the front, my lips darkened to black and pulled taut over them. My tongue grew longer and wider, lolling out over my sharp teeth. Drool formed up and dripped off the end.
I saw Shelby run her very short tongue over her pink lips and wide white teeth as her chin and jawline defined themselves.
I recognized her face as my own.
The last thing to change was our eyes. I saw white growing around the edges as her brown eyes lightened to blue, the last true color I saw. My own vision weakened and color blurred and dulled as I blinked my big brown and dumb dog eyes.
I was shocked; dumbfounded “How did I…How did we…I’m a dog!” my mind screamed out <BARK!>
“Oh my God I can’t talk!” I thought <Bark, Bark>
Shelby looked at me as I began to swing my head back and forth. I lowered my butt and pulled my tail in. I saw her work her mouth and jaw for a moment before she said “it’s okay…<cough, cough> Ah! I can talk!”
“I’m people! Oh my Gosh this is incredible!” she bounced around in joy “I feel so alive! I feel so…smart!” She looked down at me as I whimpered and tried to make myself even smaller. I tucked my muzzle down to my chest and looked at her out of the top of my eyes.
“Hey…I know this might be really strange for you and you’re confused and scared but I’m going to take care of you. You don’t have to worry okay”
I heard her speaking to me and I could tell her words were genuine but I also felt my thoughts beginning to get cloudy. Other thoughts began to come forward; animalistic ones.
“I’m your owner now! I’m you! Well, kind of you but still kind of me but different. I look like you but I’m Shelby” she said bending down to me. I noticed her collar and tags, it was the only thing she was wearing.
She laughed as she helped me out of my shirt. She put it on and unlatched her collar. She held it out in front of me as I sat on my haunches. “I don’t now…is Julie the best name for a dog? I know! I’ll call you Jules when you’re like this…”
She reached forward and snapped the collar around my neck, I saw glimmering coming from the tag for a second. The name on it now read Jules instead of Shelby. I turned around seeing my tail swish behind me. I watched as she picked up my shorts and panties and stepped into them easily.
“Wait until I cool down some and then I’ll take you out on your first walk! You are going to absolute love it!”
“Walk?!” I thought “I love walks! I mean…wait…why am I so excited?”
Shelby sat down and opened a bottle of water drinking down almost all of it. I walked over to her and she began to pet me.
“Oh my God this feels so good” my mind purred. Ear scratches, rubs around my neck, full body pets. I laid down and rolled onto my back and she scratched and rubbed my belly; I never wanted this to end it felt so good.
“I know my transformation was pretty intense feeling, I’m sure yours was just as intense as mine but so much more confusing and I’m sorry about that. Let me let you in on a little secret Jules…I’m magic”
I rolled over and looked at her. Shelby just nodded and smiled my wide smile “I did this to us. I knew I was ready when You started having the dreams…that meant my magic was powerful enough to switch us. I know how this sounds but you don’t have to be mad at me because this is not permanent. As much as I wish it was, or could be, I can only do this for a limited amount of time. I hope that as I get better at it and more powerful, I can make it last longer”
I whimpered.
“Now stop that…I just wanted a change of scenery and you looked like you could use a break anyway. So enjoy your time as a dog. I have to switch our minds as well as our bodies; it’s for the best. You would be miserable having your full human brain while you’re in my doggy body. You need to enjoy being an animal and what point would it be for me to only be human in looks. I want to experience being a human…I can’t do that with my limited dog mind. But, I hate to break it to you, my magic stays with me girl”
My tail wagged.
“You’ll remember your time as a dog once you’re human again so once we swap back, I want you to write everything down for me. Right now, this will last until tomorrow morning. I won’t be able to swap us back again for at least a week; it takes that long to reset and in case you’re wondering, yes, we do have to swap. I can’t just become human. The Universe of magic doesn’t like a void…if a dog turns into a person then a person has to turn into a dog” she shrugged “Them’s da rules”
“But maybe next time I can stretch it out a little bit longer” she said as she tied up my shoes. I was getting excited as she grabbed the leash off the ground “Or maybe after that it will only take 5 days before I can switch us again…what do you think?”
I jumped up wanting to go on my walk and gave an excited <Bark>
Shelby rubbed my head “I knew you’d be excited!”
I rushed out the door sniffing everything. The world was so different to me, just smells and sounds and instincts. I went to a tree and peed right in front of it. We went to the park and I squatted and did my business there, then a squirrel ran by and I was out of there.
I ran and it felt so good and natural, I smelled other dogs, I smelled everything and heard different sounds louder all the while my human sat on a bench with her legs crossed just watching people. She talked with a lady while a little boy petted me.
Then my leash was back on and we were walking again. Shelby led me around the long way until we got home.
My tail took off as I smelled our house and I rushed up to the door, knowing it was dinner time. I did my happy dance around the kitchen as she seemed to take forever getting the bag open and the food poured into my bowl.
It smelled so good, then the taste! It was delicious! I crunched and swallowed, my teeth crunching and my tongue just throwing it back. I went to my water bowl, shiny and silver and the water was so cool on my tongue, I could feel it cooling me down after my playtime.
I padded around the house fascinated by my different perspective on things. I sniffed everything. I tried to get into the cabinet where I smelled my treats but Shelby yelled “No!” at me so I obeyed.
I came to her when she called my name, trotting to her side and sitting down so she could pet me. The TV and her computer were just noisy to me and I couldn’t understand most of the words coming out of them.
Shelby was talking on the phone and laughing “Who’s she talking to?” I wondered. “Did she get my friends and my life?” But then, my mind started to wander again “My life is dog…Shelby is human, Jules is good girl”
I trotted to my favorite window to watch the street and everything that went down it. My human yelled at me when I barked at a plastic bag that was blowing towards us.
After human got mad at me, I went and laid down on the floor, I was tired. I could hear her still talking but I fell asleep.
Human woke me up when I heard her call my name. It was dark out, I had to pee. I got up and trotted to the door. Shelby smiled down at me as I went outside past her. I sniffed, I did my business, I found a nice stick and brought it back to her. She said I was a good girl but made me leave stick outside.
I followed her to her bedroom. I sat by the door while she got wet, I didn’t understand why she did that every day.
“Do you like what you see?” Shelby asked me as she stepped out “Do you miss your body?”
I cocked my head. “Well I hope you realize that from now on, we’re going to be sharing this” she told me as she toweled off “I can never fully take away your humanity unless you tell me you want to but since I am in control of when we swap, well, we shall see Jules”
She came over and rubbed all over my face and ears and I smiled, I felt content but something about her words…I didn’t understand it at the time”
I curled up in my doggie bed. I had my favorite toy with me so I chewed on it and made sure it was right there next to me when I fell asleep.
I woke up. It was dark. My whole body was shaking. I sat up, my left leg swung under me. And I didn’t feel right. I couldn’t sit like I should any longer so I lifted up my butt and I whimpered and whined. Shelby thrashed in her bed and finally sat up and flipped on the light.
“Ugh!” she let out as she put her hands up. They were looking like my paws. I felt a cloud lift inside my head. No…her paws!
<Bark>
“Yes…it’s wearing off and we’re switching back” she said in a mean voice that made me put my head down.
Shelby took off her nightshirt and stood naked as she began to shrink down. Her legs popped and moved her around as they shifted. Her tail returned and so did her paws.
It seemed like changing back was going faster. Before I knew it, I had hands and feet again and my arms and legs were growing. I was slowly stretching out and having to adjust my stance until my hips popped and I stood back up on my hind legs…or rather, my legs.
I shook all over as my fur receded. Sweat broke out across my chest as my breasts returned. My muzzle retreated and my face and hair returned.
I looked over and saw my dog once again at my feet, smiling and panting up at me.
I did what Shelby asked and wrote down everything you just read.
Now, I need to fill you in on what has happened since then.
It all felt like a dream, I questioned if it had even happened or if I was going insane. Then, 6 days after our first transformation, we did it again.
The first transformation lasted for 12 hours, the second time it lasted 18 hours and Shelby timed it so she could do my work. When I checked it the following day, I found it to be flawless.
5 days later, we were swapped for a full 24 hours.
4 days after that, we spent 48 hours as each other.
Each time I swap back, I fully remember my time and what I did as a dog. But I also went deeper into being a dog and I rarely even remembered ever even being human.
We passed a milestone 3 days later as we swapped for 4 days. I was a dog more than I was a human for the first time that week so conversely, Shelby was more human than dog.
And that is how we spend our time now more often than not.
After our 4-day swap, I was just human for 2 days before I spent an entire week as Jules.
Then, I got just 24 hours as myself before she stayed human and kept me a dog for 2 weeks.
I left and went on vacation, a very impromptu vacation putting her in a kennel and staying away for a week.
When I returned, within minutes of walking into her house, she swapped us for a month.
I also got no treats and very few walks that month.
We’ve settled into a pattern where I’m human about 2 days a week so I spend more time as a dog than her but 2 night’s ago, she got all dressed up and was gone all night. Now, I hear her talking all the time to someone named Jeff. I think I’d better get used to my collar…
