Just according to me, "pet" is a sub that requires much more affection. I am more a devoted companion that responds to commands, memorizes endless rules, and offers my owner absolute, unquestioning adoration. I know what my owner needs, wants, and expects of me, and I work very hard to meet his standards of behavior and morality.

I don't respond well to some techniques of bringing down ego, and Impailer does not want me to internalize negative self-images, since he worked very hard to get me to where he wants me in my head.

Perhaps, "pet" is a just sub that has been spoiled rotten...
