The Master and Pet Thing

Some people have been curious to what our Master/Pet relationship is like. Some folks just assume that it is the standard Master/Pet relationship (i.e. food bowls and leashes and pretending to be an a****l). However, our relationship more accurately is described as one where the Dom holds a great deal of influence over the Sub (duh) but the Sub desires petting. Verbal and physical petting. The Pet in our scenario is a creature completely empowered in her own agency but is at the whim of the Master. The Master administers praise and pets for positive behaviors and withholds praises and pets for negative behaviors. The withholding is what the Pet dreads more than anything. So, more often than not, we work more as a team than a strict Dom/Sub pairing.
