I get so sick and tired of hearing from the twoo swabe crowd that I am just not the epitome of slaveyness. I'm just not "true" because I'm snarly, opinionated and independent.
My owner seems to like me just the way I am.
I equate it to pet ownership.
Some men want to own sweet, little poodles. Lap dogs they dote on. Pretty, proper, dependent things that need to be cared for and coddled.
Some men want to own pit bulls. Protective, independent and feral. Pets that can fend for themselves, if need be. Fiercely loyal and protective of their owner and all that is his.
Each requires a different mindset for ownership. One isn't better than the other, one isn't more preferred over the other, they're just different and serve different purposes and needs.
It really bothers me that the poodle type slaves always seem to dismiss the pit bull type, claiming they aren't real, or true, or...whatever. That our owners must be insane or somehow secretly submissive because we don't act meek, demure, proper and prissy.
Our owners want us just the way we are. They realize they might have to muzzle us. They realize we might try and drag them down the block while they walk us. They openly welcome the challenge we present.
It doesn't make our dynamic any less real.
It doesn't mean we're any less owned.
