William Knoff - POOL/GARDEN with Unnamed Puppy<br/><br/>I angled to the right, heading at an oblique angle toward the pool.  Keeping to the grass, crossing the paved walkways as they presented themselves, and moving much slower, giving my puppy plenty of time to take in her surroundings.  A quick glance at her showed her tail down, almost between her legs.  That wouldn't do.  I gave her rump another swat with my crop,<strong>"Tail up, puppy.  I'll not be seen walking a slouching cur around the club.  You're a puppy, a happy, healthy, and energetic puppy.  Learn to play that part."</strong><br/><br/>I saw Caesar walking in our direction, a massive black dog, in more ways than one, and I angled to intercept him, eager to test my dog, and get another ice cold drink in my hand.  I parked in front of him as he approached, and with a light tug on my puppy's leash, commanded her to sit, directly in front of him, her face only two feet, if that, from his massive erection.  One corrective tug to keep her head up, then I took my time considering my order.  Scotch, of course, in a tumbler of ice, along with an ash tray, and I would in the shade near the milking pens.  He took my order, and again, we were moving.  I walked her past a few other people, most with pets in close attendance, one of which was being sexually abused by it's owner....or current owner, it looked like a club dog, then toward the milking pens.  The garden was gently shaded, several lounges were scattered across the well manicured lawn, and I selected one that gave a good view of the pool, and tugging my almost forgotten paper from my back pocket, I sat.<br/><br/><strong>"Now, you, puppy, here next me.  It's where I want you whenever I stop and sit.  There's another command you need to know.  It's "Down", which means you can lay down, in any position you like.  You'll find the grass very soft, and comfortable, I think."</strong><br/><br/>I looped her leash around the arm rest of my lounge, and stretched out to consider the day's news, in English, which made it a much thinner paper than it's French counterpart.<strong> "Sit."</strong>My drink arrived, and I thanked Caesar, and signed for it, then took a long grateful sip as he turned to leave.
