We were watching reruns last night. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve watched this particular episode, but Lion made a comment about it that still has me scratching my head. The context of the episode is that one of the characters had her house broken into. Three other characters offer to spend the night so she’ll feel safer. They wind up in the king-size bed and say there isn’t enough room for four people. Lion says it’s baloney. He’s had four people in a king-size bed, and they fit fine.

Excuse me? I knew about his lesbian couple sharing a bed with him. What’s the story with a foursome? He said it was just a couple who would stay with them (his ex and him) while visiting. They never had sex with them. Okay. Then he added, “But we’d have sex in the same bed at the same time.” Excuse me? He said it was in the dark like that made it different.

Apparently, there are still some things I don’t know about Lion. Obviously, I didn’t think I knew everything. You can’t possibly know everything about another person. I’m baffled by his omission of this information in all the time we’ve seen this episode. Then again, he doesn’t see it as a big deal. I’m also baffled by why it would bother me.

We’ve done some weird things in our life together. I know he’s done some weird things before we got together. I don’t know why this weird thing seems so weird to me. Maybe it’s the matter-of-fact way he added the sex component like everyone does it. Ho-hum. No big deal.

And I know it’s not a big deal. And it happened a long time ago. And he isn’t asking me to do it. And why the hell does it bother me so much anyway?

Okay. I’m over it. I mean, I want to be over it. I mean, I’m trying to be over it. Okay. Here I am trying to get over it.

[Lion — It wasn’t a big deal. We were in an alternate community. The other couple were very good friends of ours. They always slept very close to one another. There was plenty of room. As for having sex in the same bed. I never thought about it much. It wasn’t a big deal to me. For the record, I never saw them have sex. I heard them, though. :)]

A fellow blogger just got shut down without warning by WordPress.com. This is a service that offers free and paid blog publishing. It is one of the most popular in the world and also right-wing and anti-sex. Our friend Michael from collaredmichael.com found himself cut off with a nasty message replacing his blog.

Our blog was hosted there, too, for a year. It wasn’t cheap. To support our audience and technical needs, we paid $300 a year. We got a couple of warning emails about content. I decided that enough was enough and moved us to a much cheaper and friendlier host.

If you want to start a blog,  you can do it for free at wordpress.com. You will also have to deal with censorship and advertising on your site. Blogger.com is the granddaddy of free blog sites. Google owns it. A couple of years ago, Google announced it would not allow adult sites on blogger.com. After a huge outcry on social media, they rescinded that. Some of my favorite blogs are on that service.

After a lot of trial and error, our choice for a host is namecheap.com. This company has been our domain registrar for years. They are staunch defenders of privacy (beware of Godaddy, releasing domain information to the government). They also offer EasyWP, which automatically builds you a WordPress site without the hassle of wordpress.com nanny interference. It’s not free, but it is very cheap.

Setting up a blog is a few clicks away with them. You are reading our site via their EasyWP service. It lets me do the technical tweaks that I need and build a site without any technical knowledge. They also have superb technical support.

If  you have something to say and want to join the blogging world, that’s my two-cents worth. Good luck!

dog update

Our sweet golden retriever has been going downhill. She stopped eating much food about a week ago. That tapered off until she stopped eating entirely last Thursday. We took her to the local vet on Friday. It was clear she was in pain. They gave her a shot of pain meds and sent us home. Since she stopped eating, she couldn’t take her seizure and pain pills. She stopped drinking on Friday too.

We tried to make an appointment at an emergency hospital. It is the same place her regular neurologist sees her. They told us they had no capacity. Saturday night, she had a big seizure. Sunday morning, we called again. We were more insistent. The hospital tech said that they could see her only as an outpatient. At least that’s something. We took her, and the vets there decided she needed a feeding tube, blood tests, and treatment for her seizures and pain (Finally!). They also admitted her as an inpatient for 2 to 3 days.

We are very lucky that we have pet medical insurance. It covers 90% of medical costs. The hospital estimates it will cost $4-$6,000 for this stay. I am very happy we bought that insurance. The hospital called the insurance company (Trupanion), and they instantly approved covering the costs. Our real concern is if they can make our pup comfortable and find a way to help her. She’s only nine years old and an important part of our lives. Most of all, we want her to be happy and pain-free.

We took our dog to the emergency vet this afternoon. She stopped eating the other day and I don’t think she drank anything today. They admitted her to give her fluids, a feeding tube and pain meds. She’ll be in for at least two days, possibly more. I just want my puppy to feel better.

Before all hell broke loose last night, I gave Lion an orgasm. I edged him once and then kept him very close before getting him all the way. His wait was only about 15 days, but that’s a long time when you’re a horny Lion. We’ve had a few miscues during this wait, but we instituted regular just because spankings on Mondays and Thursdays and Lion started asking for sex fully expecting me to say no. If he’d asked last night I was going to tell him no for the experiment and then turn around to ask if he wanted sex. In either case, he would get sex. Unless he was very silly and denied me.

About an hour after his orgasm, the dog jumped up, ran around in a circle and had a big seizure. We knew this was coming because she hasn’t been taking her drugs. When she was coherent, she went outside and couldn’t make it back up the few steps into the house. She growled at me when I tried to help her. Eventually, I told her I was going to make a doggie burrito (which is what I tell her when I’m drying her off) and tossed a towel over her head so she couldn’t bite me as I dragged her onto the porch. This afternoon, the vet techs had to put a cone of shame around her so she couldn’t bite them. We couldn’t even get close enough to get a muzzle on her without getting snapped at. So now we wait.

Lion isn’t horny, but even without an orgasm last night, I don’t think he’d be horny since he’s worrying about the dog. I’ll go to work tomorrow but I’m not sure how much I’ll be thinking about work. My end-of-the-week trip is still up in the air for now. I’m just happy this didn’t happen while I was away. I can’t imagine having to make it through a six hour flight worrying about the dog and about Lion dealing with the dog all alone.

As you might imagine, we are both worried about our dog. The local vet suspects it is a brain problem. We are going to a canine neurologist on Wednesday for a more informed opinion. We have to face the very real possibility that we may have to put our puppy down. Neither of us wants to do that. It comes down to the quality of her life. On the brighter side, she isn’t pacing so much today and is more herself in terms of snoozing away the day. She still won’t eat. Mrs. Lion and I went shopping and bought what we hope will tempt her.

We are both attempting to compartmentalize the doggy situation and not think too far ahead. Mrs. Lion has not lost sight of her role with me. I nearly forgot to set up the coffee pot for Saturday morning. Fortunately, I noticed when I got out of bed at 6:30. Mrs. Lion was still snoozing. I got the pot set up before she woke a couple of hours later. She commented that I had snuck into the kitchen and saved my ass. That told me she was anticipating a chance for a Saturday night spanking. Curses, foiled again!

This signals that the game is back on. Mrs. Lion is in full hunting mode. My bottom is likely to get more than the scheduled two spankings a week if she has anything to say about it. If she is determined to catch me, chances are good she will. Thanks to my reading on the Disciplinary Wives Club website, she’s adopted a very good way to handle multiple offenses. Let’s say that I break a rule on Monday. Well, that’s one of the two days a week I get a just because spanking. If there is an offense on top of the scheduled paddling, Mrs. Lion increases the spanking time from ten to fifteen minutes minimum. As I’ve learned, that extra five minutes feels like an hour to me.

So far, she hasn’t made me play Spankardy. I’m sure that’s coming soon too. She may need to find a place for the spanking bench closer to where she likes to beat me. The other day, before one of those scheduled spankings, Mrs. Lion said that my bottom looked a little discolored. She wondered if frequent spankings left permanent or semi-permanent marks. The purple badge of naughtiness? I may have it already.
