It looks like John Deere owners can soon feel free to fix their own machines. The Federal Trade Commission and attorneys general from several states secured a right-to-repair settlement Wednesday with agriculture equipment giant Deere & Co. — commonly known as John Deere — that requires the company to let farmers and independent shops fix their own equipment. The Illinois-based manufacturer has…

Since the heatwave has lulled, has there been any discussions about moving the cage again, or is this going to be a long term / Permanent arrangement?

And how would it affect you during winter?

Greetings @theportalcore,

Thank you for your question.

Yes, the cage remains in the basement and I sleep there. The temperatures during summer nights there are comfortable enough if you have cover and mattress. The cage is placed at wooden poles so it's not on the cement floor.

Yes, my Owners announced that it will be a new place for me long term. Basically it is my new room. I was told to move all my belongings down there, that's what I did last Saturday. The basement is quite big, though it has low ceiling and only two lights. It's dark but after more than a week it doesn't bother me anymore. I even started to like it: there is some charm in it, I am now literally a slave living in the basement!

There are two entrances: one is from house's hall and another one is from the kitchen's storage. I use mostly the kitchen one.

I spend mostly only nights there. During day I am up in the house or in the garden.

At nights I have a company though sometimes: Master's cat goes down sometimes and he wonders why I am in the cage.

I don't know if the arrangement is permanent. Now it's comfortable, but in the winter the temperatures are going well below livable.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your attention.

That thing thinks it's important to note that this blog is not only place where the name is used. It humbly thinks it is not yet exactly explained how deeply the change affected its life. It's not an online persona anymore.

Master and Mistress went extra mile to make sure the name sinks in, they liked it so much they don't use any other names anymore.

It's not always "that thing" sometimes it is just "thing".

That thing is referred only as the thing in the household and all the documentation regarding it is updated to use the name. Contracts, file folder, etc. are all updated to use that.

Master and Mistress use that name between themselves constantly. "Hey, my love, do you think I can borrow that thing for the evening?". It sends shivers down its spine every time it hears their casual, domestic use of such a word. It reminds it where the line is drawn.

It's being introduced or registered to events by for example, "Master's K. thing". Though friends or people who knew that thing before continue to call it the way they get used to.

New people are invited to name it however they want, idea is that objects are given convenient names for users. Though if directly asked, it should say "I am just a thing for your to use". (I am talking about kink contexts)

That thing, whenever it has opportunity to introduce itself, starts with something like "Greetings Sir. It is... thing, property of Master & Mistress". Sometimes "that thing" jumps in their head by itself when discussing it later.

At first kink evening after the name change Master has wrote "thing" at its forehead using bold marker and everyone in the club could see its new name. That thing is remembered by few only by that name. That thing might be mistaken but it felt like that name motivates people to use it more... intensely, perhaps.

That thing mostly uses third form when speaking now. First person speech is almost foreign for that thing and reserved only for texts.

It is first time when its public name in kink community matches its name in the internet. It has never disclosed its journal to anyone apart of its Owners before. It feels like the boundary is moved forever.

Master and Mistress told it to convey their gratitude for the new name. They find it truly charming and game changing.

I think that's important update.

Because of the heatwave, Master has moved my cage into basement.

The other rooms apart of the bedroom don't have airco and it's just too hot to sleep and rest well.

It was something I suggested as one of extreme ideas I wanted to try long ago and now I just have it. And it feels different from what you expect when you dream about it.

Master has equipped the basement with the camera so they can look at me without need to go down themselves. The locks work automatically as before and I have the emergency button to open it if needed.

It's actually even chilly there, so I have the privilege to have warm cover on the cage's bottom and to cover during nights.

First night I was scared so much I had to use the emergency button and left it by myself. The noises of the building, the darkness... Honestly, it was just extremely scary. I never was afraid of the darkness, but there it is absolutely different.

Master woke up and calmed me down. He said I may to not return to it if I wish, but I promised him to try again. And asked to leave lights on the stairs. He agreed.

The fact he listened to me calmed me down and I managed to sleep. I knew I am not locked there if I won't be able to deal with my fear. And after I just wanted to prove myself and my Owners I can do it! And I was proud of myself next day and promised I will try again next nights.
