A local couple apologized today after bringing their golden retriever, Benji, to what they quickly realized was the wrong puppy play meetup in Capitol Hill when their pup was the only one with real paws.
“Oh my gosh we saw a posting about a super inclusive, fun and playful community with a fondness for both clear boundaries and discipline for trained and leashed pups only—we’re so sorry!” said Benji’s owner Tim as he and his wife Sarah apologized. “Benji is a highly social dog who loves to run with the pack and chase balls and get belly rubs. Apparently so do Tony, Kyle, Darren, Cameron, and Elise, but we probably still better get going.”
Despite the mixup, the pup-play sex kink participants welcomed the couple to stay and let their real pup get socialized and better trained in a welcoming safe space.
“Getting Benji to focus on walks has been a challenge, but I learned a lot about discipline from a handler named Butch,” said Tim. “Now when Benji shows leash aggression, I can just use our safe-word.”
The couple admitted that in the future they need to more carefully research Seattle events to prevent the confusion over both the pup-play meet-up and what they thought was just a bike ride for hobbyist astronomers last weekend at the Fremont Solstice Parade.
