Alex was as good as gold in the days following her punishment. Olivia tended to the marks on her back and bottom every day to ensure that they healed properly. They spent most of their time at the beach playing in the water and lounging in the sun. Alex's slate was completely wiped clean and her behavior was never mentioned again, as was Olivia's practice. As they headed into the second week of their vacation, Alex wasn't sure whether she was excited or nervous. Olivia had signed her up to compete in the horse race on Friday afternoon. Alex desperately wanted to win the race and make her beloved Mistress proud of her.
"Mistress?" Alex spoke one day from where she knelt on the floor massaging Olivia's feet.
"Yes, sweetheart?" Olivia looked up from her magazine.
"Am I healed enough to work on some training?" Alex inquired.
"Your bottom is completely healed, and your back should be completely healed by tomorrow. We can absolutely do some training. What would you like to learn?" Olivia smiled. Alex was a curious submissive and Olivia was always willing to satisfy curiosity.
"That." Alex pointed to a picture in Olivia's magazine.
"You want to learn puppy play?"
"Yes, please."
"We can do that, my love. Let's get you dressed."
Olivia dressed Alex in a simple black bra and very short black skirt. Olivia went to the kitchenette and rooted through the drawers until she found a plastic baggie and filled it with a few handfuls of Alex's favorite cereal.
"Get down on your knees and bring me your leash between your teeth." Olivia instructed.
Alex obediently got down on her knees and crawled away in search of her leash. She retrieved it and Olivia smiled when she saw Alex crawling toward her with the leash in her mouth.
"Drop it." Olivia instructed.
Alex dropped the leash at Olivia's feet and was delighted when she was rewarded with a piece of cereal and verbal praise.
"Thank you, Mistress." Alex whimpered when Olivia swatted her bottom sharply.
"Puppies do not speak. If you need to use your safeword, you may. But otherwise, do not speak again until I give you permission. Think about the sounds a puppy makes, and those are the only sounds you may make." Olivia explained patiently.
Alex was already expertly skilled at crawling on her leash, so she was well on her way to becoming a well trained puppy. With the bag of cereal in her pocket, Olivia led Alex through the halls of the resort. When they stepped outside, Alex stood to her feet and walked proudly on her Mistress's arm as Olivia led her down to the boardwalk and into one of the numerous stores. The first thing they did was walk to the back of the store where Olivia let Alex look at a sheet of paper with various shapes on it. Alex chose the bone shape and Olivia had a tag made with Alex's name on it that said 'property of Olivia Benson. If lost, please spank and call' followed by Olivia's cell phone number. Alex grinned in amusement as Olivia attached the tag to her collar. Olivia took Alex to another section of the store and let her pick out ears, a tail, and then let her root through the assortment of puppy toys and let her choose several. With their purchases in hand, Olivia led Alex out of the store and back to their suite at the resort.
"Come here, little one." Olivia sat down on the bed.
Alex was guided across her Mistress's lap. Olivia lifted the short skirt and pulled Alex's thong down and off her legs. She reached for the grey tail that Alex had chosen, lubricated the butt plug, and carefully inserted it into Alex's bottom. Then she allowed Alex to slide off her lap and sink down to her knees at her feet.
"Sit." Olivia instructed.
Alex slid off of Olivia's lap and sank to the floor, kneeling at Olivia's feet with her hands on the floor directly in front of her knees, and was rewarded with another piece of cereal and verbal praise. Olivia took the ears that Alex had chosen, which were the same grey color as her tail, and placed them on Alex's head. Olivia smiled; Alex was just too cute! With all of that accomplished, they left their suite again and Alex crawled through the halls. Olivia led her to a door labelled 'puppy playroom'. There was a separate area for kittens.
The room was huge and there were several 'puppies' there with their owners, most of them engaged in some kind of activity, but there was one who was curled up on a dog bed by a window and sound asleep in the sun. Alex enjoyed herself immensely as Olivia patiently spent a lot of time training her to obey different commands such as 'fetch', 'roll over', 'paw', 'stay' and 'come'. Alex's face lit up when she was rewarded with a treat and she pouted when she needed to be corrected, either with a verbal reprimand or a sharp swat. The blonde submissive wasn't even the slightest bit hesitant or embarrassed as she barked and yipped happily. After a while, Olivia removed Alex's leash and let her go mingle with the other 'puppies'. Alex startled momentarily when another 'puppy' approached and sniffed her, and then did the same. Alex picked up one of her squeaky chew toys in her mouth and settled down to chew on it happily for a while until another 'puppy' approached with a rope toy in her mouth and engaged Alex in a game of tug of war. As Alex pulled on the toy, she growled.
"Alex, no growling. Bad girl." Olivia scolded sternly from where she sat nearby, getting up to walk over and deliver a sharp swat to Alex's bottom.
Olivia smiled as she watched Alex play, happy that Alex had discovered a new activity that she enjoyed. After a while, Olivia picked up one of Alex's new toys and engaged her in another game of 'fetch'. Alex barked excitedly as the toy squeaked. Olivia threw it and Alex crawled after it, picking it up in her mouth and bringing it back.
"Drop it. Good girl." Olivia praised. She picked up the toy and threw it again.
Olivia chuckled when Alex had some difficulty lapping water from a dog bowl and suddenly found herself with water all over her face and up her nose. Alex whined in frustration and shook her head vigorously to get the water off her face.
"Alex, come." Olivia called.
Upon hearing her beloved Mistress's voice calling her, Alex turned and crawled over to her. Olivia used a towel to dry the water from Alex's face. Then she gathered up Alex's toys, attached Alex's leash to her collar, and led her out of the room. Olivia led her back to their suite and removed the leash from Alex's collar. She put Alex's toys on the floor, easily accessible if Alex decided she wanted to play with them. Then she went to the kitchenette and put the bag of treats away. Alex sniffed around the suite curiously, searching for something interesting to get into. She found a random piece of paper lying on the bedside table and snatched it between her teeth.
"What have you got there, little one?" Olivia noticed Alex crawl by with something in her mouth that she wasn't supposed to have. Olivia scolded her and took the paper away.
Alex played with her toys for a while and then decided she wanted her Mistress's attention. She crawled over to where Olivia sat and crawled up onto the couch, 'pawing' at Olivia's arm to get her attention. When Olivia looked at her, Alex rolled over, exposing her belly.
"You want a belly rub, baby girl?" Olivia smiled and rubbed Alex's belly.
When Alex got tired of having her belly rubbed, she rolled back over and crawled off the couch, wandering off to find something to get into. After a while, Olivia realized that it was too quiet and went in search of her sweet little submissive. She frowned when she found Alex in the bathroom surrounded by toilet paper.
"Alex, bad girl." Olivia scolded sternly.
Alex looked up with a guilty expression on her face. Olivia sat down on the closed toilet seat lid and pulled Alex over her lap, bringing her hand down sharply, quickly followed by another, and another. It was a short spanking, but it was enough to turn Alex's bottom red and send a signal to the naughty 'puppy' that this particular behavior was not going to be tolerated.
"Chocolate." Alex spoke her safeword, crying quietly over her Mistress's lap. Her voice sounded strange to her after not speaking all day, but she'd had enough puppy play for now.
Olivia immediately stopped spanking her. She carefully removed the tail from Alex's bottom and removed the ears from her head and pulled Alex up to cuddle her on her lap. It had been a fairly mild spanking, so Alex was easily soothed. Olivia spoke to her gently to coax her out of her 'puppy' headspace and back into reality.
