Crisp, fresh, and satisfying. That is the best way for one to describe the Honeycrisp apple I was having this Friday afternoon. I just got done with one of my classes today at good old Jeremiah State on the pathway to getting my associate degree in Cultural Studies. This temple of knowledge was a modified building in all its rectangular glory four stories high, with each department evenly divided for everyone's convenience. One for History, one for Mathematics, one for English, and one for Science. Yeah, it was just another day in the year 2149; a year of advanced technology, interplanetary travel, and... zoo-morph girlfriends as I was half-tackled by my Australian Shepherd zoo-morph girlfriend Chloe from behind.

Chloe was of the blue merle variety of Australian Shepherds with the most beautiful light blue eyes I've ever seen. Being a zoo morph, all but her body was canine while the upper body and torso were more like a human female. Her human-styled hair was brown and was always done in a boat neck style as her cute floppy ears poked out of it. While she had five human-like fingers, they were still covered with fur with some padded patches on the tips and canine-like nails. Instead of human legs, she stood on her two canine haunches with four toes. But the best qualities I love about her the most were her floppy ears and my god, the softest fur you've ever felt! It made me so happy to get a chance to nuzzle her fluffy goodness. Yeah, I know. I'm a sucker for it, sue me.

So how did we meet, you're probably asking already? Well, allow me to be mister exposition for a short moment. We Pennsylvanians were one of the few states in this modern age of 2393 America that were practicing tolerance with these scientifically modified animal/human hybrids; once on the market as living sex objects, now free-thinking independent beings. After some hard-pressed campaigning and level-headed activism, they were legally free to enjoy all the simple pleasures that we humans have always enjoyed for decades. Just so long as you can avoid and/or stand up against the usual nutjobs, like the right-wing specists or the left-wing activists on par with overemotional PETA supporters. Me? I'll stick with being the kind of human being that's willing to be tolerant and accepting, following the rules of what logic and common sense called for. So, what's love got to do with it?

Turn back nine months ago, when equality among humans and zoo morphs was just a year or two out of its infancy. I was never as much of a social bug as most people. I wasn't entirely introverted or anti-social, I just minded my own business and focused on my education to be on par with the level-headed intellectuals that are often over-shadowed by the masses that only use half or little to no brainpower. One of my college buddies I first met in high school extended an invitation to a small get-together at an arcade that involved both humans and zoo morphs. It was at a hangout that extended equal footing between both species. Wanting to enlarge my circle of friends, I caved in and said I would be there Friday night.

Dressed in my nicest casual clothes, I drove my hover car down to the arcade. It was within the city area just eight minutes away on foot if walking from the campus, but by hovercar, it takes about seventeen minutes from the student housing building I've been staying at. The city has gone through some retrofitting as the decades slipped by, and businesses are given a makeover going from brick to shatterproof plexiglass. The roads remained untouched aside from the promise of fracking no longer being necessary to fix and repair the roads. We still have a way to go until we get cars more than five feet off the ground. Dream big but succeed via baby steps. That's how progress should be made. One intersection later, I went down the road and made a right into the half-filled parking lot of the arcade. It was a two-story building with traditional neon lights along most of the roof with a holographic sign swirling around on a small platform labeled "Game On".

Walking inside, the place was moderately busy with morphs and humans interacting with each other. Most of them were probably friends, a few as possible couples. I looked around until I found my friend and some others he invited to come along, two of them human and three of them. And one of them was the future love of my life, Chloe. She seemed awful cute for a morph, the kind of cute that comes from a woman being shy around a guy she likes. At least, that's what I assumed. I'm no expert in body language, but it seemed like she was giving off certain signs that she was. Usually, I would be the one to initiate the conversation as a friendly person should. But with someone outside my species, it felt a little awkward, especially after what happened to them in the past, so the exchange started a little awkward. Things began to click between us when we got to some familiar ground and some common interests. We enjoyed the games that we could play, one of them being a virtual table hockey table. I played against Chloe for three rounds and she won the tying round just barely. Whether I let her win or not, that's for me to know and you all to decide it.

Anyways, after having a good time and talking some more, we became relaxed enough to exchange call numbers so we can talk to each other on our video pads. From then on, we began talking more and doing more together. It's not wrong to admit that I had doubts about if this kind of relationship would work, feeling a little awkward about how to go about it. Fortunately, my heart was right in saying go with it, and I have had no regrets. Every date together slowly blossomed our budding relationship. Of course, every tested relationship like this isn't without its haters. Although it doesn't happen much now, I still see glimpses of people flashing looks at us like it wasn't "normal". They don't say it out loud, but I could tell what is going on in their minds. At least they had the common decency to not be rude compared to the few others that had the gall to voice their specist opinions.

One time when we were almost two months into dating, we were eating out at a public place. As we were enjoying our company, I couldn't help but notice some creep of a man in his forties getting agitated as our waitress was taking our order. He was making abrupt coughs just at random as we were speaking. I know his coughs were abrupt because they happened every five minutes while we were there. Getting agitated, I finally confronted the guy calmly with restraint and told him to do something with that cough of his. His sarcastic response was, and I quote, "You better do something about that dog." Chloe seemed offended and hurt by the stranger's comment, and I felt hurt as well. Seeing my date hurt as her ears folded back and give a little whimper, my chivalry kicked in and my hurt turned to protective anger as I balled my fist and called him out on his bullshit. You'd think after past problems with the racism of our species we'd know better, but apparently, ignorance marries well with hatred. Regardless, I stood my ground and defended my lady's honor as a gentleman should. Fortunately, two good things came out of this: people in the place were brave enough to back me up, and it earned me extra brownie points with Chloe. After the hater was silenced, I felt a pawed hand enclosed into mine and saw that it was hers. As I saw the look of trusting love in her canine blue eyes, the warm smile she bored, and felt it in the way she squeezed my hand, I knew then and there that I made the right choice. I returned the smile and squeezed her hand back.

It got normal after that day. From then on, I treated her more like an equal, and as a woman should be treated: with all the love and affection a man should give to his woman. I do recall the first time we kissed; it was...a bit awkward. Hey, you try kissing someone on the lips that has a muzzle and see if it's that easy for you. I will admit that as I kissed Chloe, her fuzzy lips tickled my nose. It worked out better for us when I tilted my head to the side. After that, we were steadily treading the bases of love from foreplay to the first time we mated. It happened between our third and fourth months of dating when I got invited over to Chloe's apartment one night. I rang the buzzer to her apartment to which she told me to come in as Chloe buzzed me in. She said her apartment door was unlocked so I could come in without a problem. Now I have been to her second-level apartment; a nice one-bedroom apartment that looked a little girly with various purple and pink plush pillows on her green two-person couch, a small personal table big enough for maybe three people, a black futon chair sitting next to the couch just in front of her sliding glass door, and her bedroom with a few sheep plushies resting on her queen-sized bed with white sheets and purple comforter.

As I entered her apartment that day, there were several small candles lit up and a warm meal for two consisting of a pot roast drizzled with gravy, a medium-sized bowl of mashed potatoes with a thick slit of butter resting on top of it, and a small rectangular bin of steamed carrots. All were surrounding a single-candle candelabra hosting a long red candle. And there, standing beside it with hands folded was Chloe with her hair done up nicely and wearing a low-cut mini dress. She wanted to surprise me as it was a special moment she wanted to make tonight. After a wonderful dinner, it was time for the one special moment in every couple's life together: the moment they make love for the first time.

She took me by the hand and lead me to her bedroom, her fluffy tail wagging behind her. I remember how she rubbed a padded hand along my chest, making my heart race. It was my first time with a zoo morph and I told her so as I was nervous. Her hand moved from my chest to my lips to shush me as she told me that it was the first time for her period and wanted it to be with a human, that is me. Without another word, her hand caressed my cheek and she immediately started kissing me on the lips. I relaxed as I kissed her fuzzy lips. We stopped for a moment as Chloe licked my cheek with her canine tongue. I smiled as my hands worked their way to her ass, finding the hem of her black dress. After lifting it above her waistline, my fingers searched and felt every inch of her soft furry ass and squeezed it. It surprised the cute sheepdog as she out a little cute growl. I could feel her hands soon sliding up through my shirt and she began rubbing my bare chest.

We went back to kissing, my hands resting on her hips and hers around my neck. I reach for the base of her ass where the tail begins and started scratching it, knowing that it was a pleasure sensor for dogs. She whines and starts getting antsy and eager as she starts to undo my pants. I follow suit and unzip the back of her dress. Chloe lets it slip down, revealing her lacey black lingerie. Seeing the site of it aroused me as I felt my one-eyed white snake start to wake. I let her undress me until there was nothing but my boxers still left on me. She pulled me onto the bed with her and as soon as we sat, the lady zoo morph gently put a hand on my bare chest and eased me down on my back. Chloe soon got on top of me, her tail between my legs and resting on my hard member. My hands felt the softness of her back, becoming so addicted to touch. After undoing her bra, Chloe grabbed my and, slowly, placed them on her firm cup-shaped breasts big enough for me to grasp them. I started caressing them tenderly, finding her perked nipples as the flat of my fingers rubbed them. As I did, it made her moan sweetly as she gripped my hands wanting more. So, I did.

After feeling every inch of her bosom, Chloe reached down to adjust her panties to unveil her fur-covered cunt. When I first felt it resting on my cock, it felt good but weird in a way. But that was forgotten as I felt her adjust upon my member and slid it inside her pussy past her pussylips. Oh, it felt so warm and slightly wet as it disappeared into her. Chloe winced in pain for a moment but sighed feeling better as she adjusted to my thick dick sinking deep into her. I could feel my skin heat up and my heart began racing. While my cheeks were burning, I could see Chloe biting her lip, her breath hitching. I could feel myself getting excited as I felt ready to go all animal on her, but I had to remind myself that this was a special moment; thus, I took deep breaths to calm myself down. Once we calmed ourselves down, the Aussie Shepherd zoo morph began rocking back and forth unto my member at her own rhythmic pace. Her pelvic rolling was making me hum with pleasure.

My hands found her hips as I massaged, putting a smile on her face. Chloe leaned down and kissed my lips. She asked me how it felt with a zoo morph. When I said that it was the most amazing feeling I've felt in a long time, her face lit up as she grinned those pearly canines at me and her tail wagging happily. The zoo morph gave my cheek a loving lick and continued riding my dick. I reached up and began scratching behind her soft, fluffy ears to return the favor. This made her growl with pleasure, nuzzling into my hands and wanting more. I made her stop for a moment and carefully laid the Aussie on her back with the tail adjusted. Now I was looking at her from above and it warmed my heart so awful seeing her cute smile while panting from how good it felt. Taking both of her hands, mine intertwined with hers, I put them over her head and began rolling my hips as my cock massaged her vaginal walls. Chloe moaned, feeling it slowly nearing her womb.

Setting myself at a steady pace, I glided in and out of her as my hips rolled between her legs, making her whimper and moan with delight. Her moans turned into panting after asking me to go faster. I complied and rocked my hips into her, my big ol' salami dipping deeper into her honey pot. With a loving growl, Chloe put her arms around my neck and welcomed it as she moaned my name. Feeling close to release, she wrapped her digitigrade legs around me. Two minutes later, her penis fly trap closed onto my pink cigar, and our love juices collided with each other as I felt her clench onto my body. Before you ask, no. it has been scientifically proven that interspecies couples cannot get one or the other pregnant. Trust me, scientists have tested it already. Anyway, we curled up together, catching our breath once we were empty. My arms wrapped around her and kissed the side of her muzzle before telling her that I loved her. Chloe gave me a warm, glowing smile before she gave me a loving lick on my cheek and said the same to me, her head pressed against mine with the candles still burning away.

You never really forget your first time, whether it's your first time with someone new or your first period. Either way, in my opinion, it should be a special moment with whom you truly love. Yeah, I know. I'm romantic at heart. Sue me. Ever since that night, we couldn't get enough of each other. Of course, with every moment of romance, there's also a moment of naughty kinkiness. So far, we've done small kinks like spanking, cunnilingus, dirty talk, sexting, phone sex, a little bit of food play (you know, like licking cool whip off certain parts of the body), and sensual massaging. However, as with anyone with a sexual appetite, kinks are questionable in being "normal". Back then, zoo morphs were only animals and it was considered zoophilia for any human being to have the stupid sense to think they fuck an animal or be fucked by one. Yeah, we're all sorts of wrong. And then that got questionable when some lonely bastard thought "Hey, why don't we make them human-like? Clearly, that'll make it better." Well, you can imagine the public outrage when the truth got out about it and the fool got arrested for illegal and questionable practices. To make a long story short, some company got word of what happened, made the zoo morph for forms of profit and service to members of the community, and some greedy assholes got a hold of a few of them and sold them on the black market for devious purposes until eventually, the zoo morphs and some human beings that gave a fuck about common decency fought and won for their recognition as cognitive beings with a sense of reason and morality.

Okay, with that out of the way, we can get back to the present moment. The moment she saw me, Chloe lit up with glee and ran up to greet me by nearly tackling me and kissing me hard on the lips. "Hey, beautiful," I said, looking into her beautiful blue eyes, reminding me of how lucky I was to have someone like Chloe as I held her.

"Hiya, handsome," Chloe cutely said to me. "Miss me?"

"You know it. I just got done with Studies in Gender today" I sighed with annoyance. "I swear, teachers like her are never gonna get through to us if they come down on us so much. Anyway, I got your text in between classes. Something you wanted to tell me?"

"Yes, I did. I wanted to ask if you were free this Saturday after work. There's something I wanted to discuss with you."

When you hear something involving the word "discussion", concern usually comes to mind. Already in my mind, I was wondering if it was about our relationship or...if she was pregnant? I know I said before scientists have proven that pregnancy couldn't happen with us interspecies couples, _but_you just might never know. Stranger things have proven science wrong from time to time. Unless...no, she wouldn't. Why would I think she would ever cheat on me? Putting my thoughts on hold, I questioned her. "You could have called me about it. I don't want to sound suspicious, but what's the occasion? Did you want another cuddle session?" I asked half-jokingly.

"Maybe a little later," Chloe responded with a little hum. "but I promise it's nothing bad, babe, I promise you." It seemed like she sensed my suspicion and placed a hand along my slightly scruffy chin. "Just come over tomorrow night and I'll explain everything, okay?"

I smiled and caressed her cheek. "All right, babe. I will. Are we still doing lunch today?"

"Definitely. Shall we, handsome?"

"We shall, milady." I offered my arm to her, she took it, and we headed over to one of the nearest eateries.

Saturday came around and I was on my way over to Chloe's apartment after getting out of working another day at the warehouse. I work the morning shift and it's only as good as you handle it. Anyway, I showered once I got home and stopped by to get Chloe a few roses before heading over. She lived in a more predominant area of zoo morphs here in Pittsburgh. Housing for zoo morphs has not always been the best, but it's better than them not having a roof over their heads and rooting around in the garbage for food. The neighborhood always looked a little rough with the two-story houses with symmetrically spaced windows, and a floor plan with a formal living room and dining room. As for apartments, they had decent-looking efficiency apartments. They were small apartment units that combine the functionality of multiple rooms into one with a living room, bedroom, and kitchen all in one room with a separate bathroom. I pulled into the guest lot in front of the carports and parked the car. I buzzed the apartment doorbell on her apartment entrance and was let in by her.

I was greeted with a smooch and a smile as Chloe allowed me to come inside her apartment. She was wearing ladies' jeans styled for zoo morphs and a violet tank top. And I was wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates t-shirt and jeans with a belt. We sat on the couch while she had chicken wings baking in the oven and watched a little tv, her padded feet resting on my lap. With some hesitation, I asked her the reason why she wanted me over. "Hey, babe?"

"Hmm?"

"What was it you wanted to talk about Thursday?" My hands gently massage her ankles.

"Oh, that. Well,..." Chloe hesitated as she rubbed her, looking away for a moment. "you know how we've been spicing things up in our relationship, right?"

"Yes," I said slowly.

"Well,...there is...another kink I wanted to try out with you. But I wasn't sure how you would take it."

I began to feel weird when she said that but went along with it. "Okay," I said slowly. I eased off when I saw her floppy ears fold back, looking anxious. I smiled and relaxed, holding her hand to make her feel less so. "You can tell me, hon."

Chloe perks up a little with a small smile and intertwines her zoo-morph hand with mine. "All right. Close your eyes and wait here. I'm gonna grab something from my room."

"Okay, babe," I said, my uncertainty returning a little. Regardless, I closed my eyes and waited for what she had to show me. I felt her sitting up and heard her walking over to her room. I could hear a slight metal jingle but wondered what it would be.

"Hold out your hand," she requested. Still uncertain, I hesitantly held out an open hand. I soon felt something leather placed into my hand as I clasped it, feeling it all over. "Okay, you can open them."

I opened my eyes and saw that the leather piece in my hands is a loop handle used to latch onto my hand as a leash would. The evidence became clearer as my eyes followed the leather up to see a leather collar around Chloe's neck. I squinted to see it, then tilted my head in curiosity. "Eh?"

Chloe had a bashful look on her face as she looked down at the floor. "You see, I've always wanted to...be treated like a puppy."

"Is this a...roleplay kind of thing?" I asked to be certain.

"It is...in a way."

"I see." I thought about it, looking at it with both pros and cons. Now role-playing isn't that bad of a kink, but this kind of roleplay seems questionable to me. I mean, it's weird to some when it's another human. But with a zoo morph? I feel split on this because it wouldn't be so bad depending on the level of it, but a part of me feels like it's a little demeaning to a zoo morph. I mean as I mentioned before, they were first developed as devices for carnal pleasure. Now independent and free, you'd think it would be the last thing that any zoo morph would want to have. So, I asked her the question: "Why?"

Chloe fidgeted as she tried to find the right words to explain it. "I don't know. I've...always wanted to try to be loved as a puppy. Like...being loved as a non-zoo morph?"

I tried to understand what she was getting at. "You mean like...experience love and attention as a regular puppy? Like getting head pats, going on walks, and things done to a regular dog?"

"Something like that?"

I was suspicious about what else she wanted to do as a puppy. Then a nasty thought came to my mind, and not the sexy, naughty kind of nasty. "You're not going to make me clean up after you like, say, shit in the yard or..." I cringed at the thought, "piss on the carpet, are you?" I asked, feeling a bit apprehensive.

"Oh no, no! No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no of course not! Not ever! Of course not!" Chloe said immediately, shaking her head furiously. "I would never want to do anything that disgusting! I would never want to force you or ask you to do such a thing." She then had an uncertain and questionable thought about it. "That is, of course, you are into it."

"No, no! God no! I'm kinky, not disgusting!" I said truthfully. Why people are into stuff like "golden showers" is beyond me. If you have the stomach to look it up, go ahead. "So, how did you want to go about this?"

"Well,...do you have any suggestions?"

I thought about it, then thought of the idea that we take this slow, one step at a time. Start with the small stuff, then see how it evolves from there. We sealed the deal with a kiss and snuggled up for the rest of the night until I had to leave.

So how to go about this? Well, we first started with small things as mentioned before like head pats and giving her scritches under her muzzle, behind the ears, and on the front of Chloe's neck sometimes in public. She seemed so happy with me doing it that she always had a smile on her face and her tail would go a-wagging away. Especially when scratching the spot on her rear at the base of her tail. It was, after all, the most sensitive spot dogs love but never the tail. They never like it when you mess with the tail. Of course, we did it sparingly in public. Otherwise, we'd still be getting strange looks from onlookers. One time, I was in the college library looking online for legit sources for an argumentative paper when she came in to check in on me. I didn't know she came up from behind me until I felt her arms around my neck and she gave me a little lick behind my ear making me squirm in surprise. She sat on my lap with her arms around me and we chatted for a while until I had to get back to work. We smooched and scratched her under the muzzle before she got off my lap and left, almost forgetting I was in a public place. I happened to look over and a few students of varying ages gave me odd looks. "It's a...new thing we're trying out," I told them awkwardly, smiling to match it.

Aside from scratching around her head, Chloe had me try giving belly rubs a go. It happened after I had Chloe over at my apartment after a nice date at the roller rink for a little tickle and a slap. She brought it up as we snuggled on my queen-sized mattress later that night. I thought about it and figured why not. I slid a hand down to her soft, fluffy belly and swirled it around clockwise. The softness of it felt _so_good to the touch that I couldn't get enough of it. And apparently, Chloe couldn't get enough of it either as she softly growled and moaned at how good it felt on her belly. She stretched and squirmed the more I rubbed her belly. When I scratched her hip area, she started to kick as it was her favorite place to be scratched. "You like?" I asked giving her a playful smile."

"Uh-huh," said Chloe happily. She gave me a naughty smile and before I knew it, she pulled me face-first into her fuzzy bosom of fluff. It felt like heaven against her fluffy chest of comfort. I curled up next to her, and we slept away the rest of the night.

And then, close to our one year together as a couple, came the leash. This was the part that made me a bit uncomfortable and awkward. As I mentioned before, I thought it would be degrading to a zoo morph like Chloe. But if it wasn't bothering her that much, I guess I could go with it and see how it turns out. Meet a sacrifice with a sacrifice. We compromised and decided to try the leash thing late at night. Less chance of people judging us. That's when I proposed for her to move in with me. Not only would it be the next big step for us in the relationship, but we could keep our little sexual escapades in one place and thus, draw less attention. Chloe seemed on board with the idea but was happier with the idea of us living together that she practically jumped into my arms and licked my face all over. I smiled and laughed a little before having her calm down and easing her off me.

After getting my lovely zoo morph love settled in my apartment, we celebrated with a meal I made especially for her, kibble casserole with wet dog food on the bottom. Sort of like a meat pie for canine zoo morphs. Happy about the meal, Chloe thanked me as she washed the dishes for me. I was sitting in my usual sofa chair in the living room, looking through my blackboard for any updates when Chloe came in, sat on the armrest next to me, and rubbed my shoulder. "School going okay, sweetie?" she asked me, her tone having a hint of concern.

"It's going as well as you can think, babe," I said, my hand finding hers and caressing it with a thumb. I sighed as I continued. "I'm just a little nervous with finals coming up."

"Anything I can do to make you feel better? Maybe a little... late-night fun? A little...stress relief?" I felt her coyly tracing a canine finger along my chest as she made little circles.

Chuckling softly, I leaned up to kiss her canine muzzle and scratched one of her ears. "As much as I would love to, sweetheart, I just want to enjoy the evening with you. Maybe just some snuggling will do for tonight." Chloe took my hand and using it, wrapped my arm around her as she plopped down on my lap and started caressing my short-cropped hair. I smiled as I rested my head upon her breasts while she did so. Then I had a better idea as I held her. "Or maybe...," Chloe's ears perked up, curious about what I was going to suggest. "We could maybe...go for a late-night walk perhaps?"

Her head cocked to the side. "You mean...like just a regular walk at night or...?"

"Well, maybe we could..." I pulled out the leash and collar she showed me before. I saw her tail start to wag and her ears folded back. "Do you want to though?" she asked me.

"I know I felt adamant about this part of your kink, but it got me time to think and reflect about all that we've been through in terms of loving. And I know it feels uncomfortable to me to give this a try," I said honestly but in a way that didn't sound completely apprehensive about it. "But I realize that it's part of any relationship. Trial and error. You give a little, you receive a little. And I remember that one time when I suggested that the next time we had sex, I could try grabbing you by the scruff the next time we did doggy style on you. And remember when you seemed reluctant in wanting to do it, much less try it out?"

"Only because I felt uncomfortable about being roughly handled like that," she reminded him. "But yes, I was willing to give it a chance with you."

"Exactly. And after trying it, we didn't use it often unless otherwise. Just the same with this. I'm willing to try this aspect of your kink just the same as that. Because I love you and I want to explore almost every avenue of love with you. It's like what my grandpa first said to me about making love. It takes two people to make love work."

"Wise grandpa," said Chloe with a warm smile. She tilted my head up to hers and kissed me long and deep. "You ready to go then?"

"Ready when you are, Chloe." With one more kiss, we got the collar and leash on my loving collie and headed out.

Overall, I'd say the walk wasn't too bad. I still felt a little weird about it, but we only went around a block just for starters. Took us possibly twenty minutes or so to go around the block, all the while I kept an eye out for anybody that may be out and about at night or maybe watching from their homes. Though there were no such signs of trouble, you never know when it might happen. As for the leash, I occasionally pulled it when we had to stop and turn on the sidewalk. Chloe seemed happy enough, she was compliant enough to heel whenever I tugged on her leash.

We got back inside and I unhitched the leash from her collar. "Well, that went better than I hoped, huh?" Chloe asked as she took off the collar.

I felt conflicted about the ordeal. But yeah, it wasn't too bad. I offered her a small smile as I took off my shoes. "I suppose so," I said, trying not to give away any sense of doubt.

"Was it all that bad?"

I looked at her to see Chloe's face wearing an expression of nervous anticipation. I gave a little sigh and told her honestly. "It wasn't that bad, but it's probably something I don't want to do every night. I hope it's all the same that I'm still comfortable with taking actual walks with you. Side by side and hand in hand, as equals in love."

The Australian Shepherd zoo morph smiled sweetly, walked up to me, and cupped a hand to my cheek. "I understand, Nathan." She gave me a soft lick on my cheek and a warm smile. Her eyes and floppy ears suddenly perked up with an idea. "There is another thing we could do. Chloe immediately went to our bedroom, leaving me curious as I slowly followed her. A few feet from the door, Chloe came into sight with a harness big enough for canine zoo morphs to wear. She had a naughty face. "If you want, we could try maybe having a little fun with this."

I grinned, showing off my pearly whites. Whatever the extent, I can't wait to see how this is going to play out. On some days like this, it makes me grateful for finding someone like Chloe. My cute loving, little puppy.
