Well as it turns out, Mittens has been doing
self-bondage since 1981, and we never really thought of it this way until
seeing your pictures. Before I went to bed on Sunday night, Mit&amp;rsquo;s
would chain herself up in my kitchen and she would pretty much be that
way until at least an hour after I got home from work Monday. When
I took off one wrist chain each night and handed her the pliers, pretty
much all she would do is take off her neck chain then go shower till she
was again wearing her neck chain. We were pretty much too stupid
to think of a collar so what she wore around her neck was an old cut-off
turtleneck sweater. Pretty much most readers will be too young to
know about turtle-neck sweaters but they were popular in the 1960&amp;rsquo;s and
70&amp;rsquo;s and both of us were alive back then (-:
Well anyway, the sweater turned out to be very
durable. We cut it apart to take off the entire back and torso and
almost all of both sleeves, leaving of course the entire turtleneck part
and enough of the shoulders to keep it in place. Each evening after
I unchained the wrist of her choice and she un-did her neck chain, she
would take her wastebasket into the bathroom, jingling her ankle chain
behind her with every step. There she would dump and shower out her
wastebasket, rinse out or wash her turtleneck, and wash herself.
This is pretty much the only laundry she ever did which was a good thing
because she had no aptitude for doing laundry, hated it, and hated being
dragged around helping me with my chores - which was pretty much the only
time she got unchained to wear clothing.
As you might tell we had a rather rocky relationship
and it was because she was a thief and I didn&amp;rsquo;t trust her an inch, and,
she really &amp;ndash;really&amp;ndash; didn&amp;rsquo;t want to get sent back to her father&amp;rsquo;s, and
she really &amp;ndash;really&amp;ndash; didn&amp;rsquo;t have any place else to go.
So we sort of fell into each other&amp;rsquo;s clutches,
you might say, and we have been together ever since.
So back to our story, sooner or later on Sunday
night we would have gone out so she would have been wearing clothes, but
more or less right after we got home she would have taken a shower and
come out naked, leaving her clothes in the bathroom, with me waiting outside
the door to walk with her out to the kitchen. There her turtleneck
and all her sock-tops would have been sitting out to dry all day.
We didn’t have any chairs in the kitchen so she would toss out the assortment
she wanted (sooner or later we had three turtlenecks) and sit herself down
on the floor while I used a convenient kitchen drawer to stash the rest
of her stuff.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
