This idiom of keeping the wolf from your door, has a negative connotation of keeping something bad away,
In real life, I approached Daddy (kinda adopting him, me being the wolf at his door) as handler and he stepped forward fully present as my person.
I fell into pupspace since meeting my first pup so long ago. But its been a solo journey until now.
I’ve never considered myself submissive to anyone. Yes, I’m helpful, and well-mannered and a good girl – all results of my life experiences. But I also observe and bide my time with my lifechoices, challenging those who assume I’m “perfect”.
Being pup is all about being in the moment. This is what the pup journey means to me. However, this journey is no longer solo and I feel a change in how I relate to others, especially Daddy, is necessary. I went straight into pupplay without looking at the bigger picture first, my pup side getting caught up in the energies of the moments of fun and excitement gave me a blinkered view.
I’ve now been brought to a point where I need to widen my focus to what holds pup play. And this is to learn about and incorporate pet play in general. .
Having fun moments of play with others is wonderful vibes. But I’m looking for more. The Wolf in me is needing connection, structure and challenge. And puppy just wants to play and bite and be cuddled. As independent as I am, this wolf pup is willing to respectfully collaborate for the bigger picture.
