What do you want?” Derek asked carefully, evenly. He took Stiles wrist and stroked across his pulse point. “Tell me.” Halti is suitable for a number of different dog breeds, coming in three different sizes. Additional benefits include a reflective strip on the harness for use when walking your dog at night. For the best experience, it’s recommended that you combine the Halti with the compatible Halti Training Lead, which you can use for even more “steering” control.

If you’ve got through several dog harnesses during the lifespan of your dog, you’ll likely be looking for one that can withstand a bit more tough action and energy.If your dog is absolutely insistent on pulling, you’ll know how much of a pain and hassle something as simple as an ordinary dog walk can become. This harness fits supremely well without restricting the dog’s movement in any way. It’s also a doddle to put on and one of the easiest to adjust. Granted, it’s not the cheapest model here, but it’s very well designed and a great option for both energetic dogs and hot sultry summers. A pagan festival that gave rise to customs associated with Christmas is the festival of Saturnalia. This was an ancient Roman festival that was celebrated in honour of the god Saturn. It was celebrated mid- to late-December between the 17th and 23rd of the month. The Romans honoured Saturn by holding a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn in the Forum Romanum in Rome and a public banquet. This was followed by frequent parties, gift-giving and a reverse of the Roman social norms such as the masters and mistresses serving their slaves at dinner instead of the other way around. Catullus, the Roman poet, described the festival as “optimo dierum” (the best of days). With reflective threads for night walking, a range of 12 colours and a smart design, you can enjoy safe and secure walks with your pooch at any time.

Such notes as that I hold," said the Lady Florence, "are due, as you must know, upon the demand of the creditor."I absolutely love spending time with my kitty! There's something so special about the bond between a cat and their owner. And when it comes to training and taming, I've found that my kitty is often easier to work with than some of my human subordinates!

She agreed to participate in the group then being organized by the Initiates. The leather worker and his companion, reluctantly, yielding to her entreaties, accepted the piece of gold. And only after this, our profound humiliation," she said, "will the men of Ar if it should please them see fit to permit us to be divided into lots, and be branded and collared and sold into slavery throughout the towns and cities of Gor." Double-leads are more complicated to use but have been proven to provide better balance for an unruly dog and thereby reduce pulling. That said, the chest padding alone most certainly has an affect on how the dog responds when walking – just the tiniest tug of the leash will invariably have it walking to heel. Whether or not there is a ceremony is up to both parties. Usually, in my experience, it is a private affair but sometimes it is witnessed by close friends. It is a solemn occasion and one to be taken with seriousness. There is no right or wrong way to it. Though sometimes it may be followed by a party. The IDC Powerharnesses is available in nine sizes – from Baby 1 (teacup dog) to Size 4 (Newfoundland) – and is available in 25 colours. You can also replace the Velcroed side patch with a customized label of your choice. An excellent everyday option for top wags.

About this book

How does one get to the point of being collared? This is probably one of the more confusing things for a submissive to understand because there is no clear-cut answer. There isn’t a formula one can use and arrive at that destination because every Dominant you meet may handle this step in a different manner. Some may not even use what we commonly think of as a collar, but rather a definitive mark such as a piercing or tattoo or even a piece of jewelry. By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife, Mistress and Slave. You may now kiss the bride! Submissive. Dominant. Does the former not ultimately hold sway over the latter? The tale starts with an arrangement to atone for past deeds, only to gradually spiral into the exploration of this paradox. Rather than reconnection, a continuation takes place, uncovering a dynamic which, once fully revealed, turns out to be as unexpected for the two individuals caught in its grasp as for those surrounding them. Pain imparts pleasure, pleasure leads to pain, bondage sets free, and control forces into bondage. Where the figure-hugging Ruffwear Front Range is quite heavily padded and therefore a little hot to wear when the temperature rises, this skimpier, bikini-like model is thinner and lighter and much better suited for use on hot summer days. You have an admirer," Targo told her, "a Captain of Tyros, who glimpsed you in Lydius last fall. He has contracted to buy you privately in Ar, to be taken to his pleasure gardens on Tyros. He will pay one hundred pieces of gold."

Would you rather this be done on the platform of public shame in the great square of Vonda, where you might bring shame upon the Home Stone?" inquired the prefect. You have lured me here," cried out the Lady Melpomene to the Lady Florence, "away from Vonda, beyond the shelter of her walls!"
