Pet play

Moving, eating, or being led as an animal — a bit, reins, or the floor.

Why people do it

Being an animal removes speech, responsibility and adult self-consciousness at once. It is often gentler and more affectionate than the gear makes it look.

Smallest way in

A collar and the rule that there are no words for the next twenty minutes.

What to watch

A collar with a lead is never left on an unattended person, and no lead is ever attached to anything that could take a fall. Knees and wrists want padding.

In the planner

6 different things carry this tag, and switching it off removes every one of them. The mildest of them sits at easy.
