(P)etiquette
Since some of my fellow elites have been accusing me of not holding my pet to proper standards recently, I have decided to lay out some rules of (p)etiquette. These are rules that my pet, Riki, has been trained to follow. I’ll call them the 10 commandments of pet-hood. Take notes:
1. When speaking to an elite or Blondie, a pet will never curse, insult, address them informally, or speak out of turn.
2. Pets will bow their heads in the presence of their Masters and other elites, eye contact must remain minimal.
3. The pet will always defer to sitting on the floor unless ordered to sit somewhere else.
4. A pet will be trained in the art of pleasing their Master, in all ways conceivable.
5. A pet has no privacy, no pride or shame.
6. A pet always follows orders and requests and anticipates what their Master will ask of them. Exceptions occur if another elite than the Master has asked an extremely unusual, improper, or cruel favor. In this case, the pet may refuse but must always inquire their Master for further instruction.
7. A pet is kind, charming and should be pleasing to look at. They will wear what their Master requests and make beauty a priority.
8. At some point, a pet shall learn a talent to display for their Master’s entertainment. Talents include but are not limited to: dancing, singing, foreign language, playing an instrument, etc.
9. A pet shall be cared for by the furniture and will treat the furniture with respect. The pet may order furniture to perform any number/variety of tasks for their convenience but will never harass, antagonize or harm furniture.
10. A pet’s ultimate desire should be towards their Master. Their role is to make the Master’s life more pleasurable and enjoyable.
I hope this clears up any confusion, Gideon.
