This time when I wake in my kennel, I feel hot. Very hot. My bladder is once again pressingly full. I whine with discomfort as I manage to get to my hands and knees, and crawl over to the puppy pad. I pee while I try to get a hold of myself and get my head on straight which is surprisingly difficult. James walks through the sliding glass doors while I'm mid flow -- I don't even look at him while I finish up. He walks over, saying nothing, and wipes me clean. He immediately takes a treat from his pocket and presses it to my mouth as he says, 'Clever girl.'
I'm starting to feel faint at this point with the heat and lack of food. Just at that, a centre attendant enters the kennel with two bowls, one with food and one with fresh water. James begins, 'Now April, since you have all your procedures done, you can finally have a proper meal. This is vet recommended food -- it contains all the nutrients and vitamins you need for a balanced diet; it is at your owner's discretion as to whether you will eat this or other food. But at the centre we highly recommend that you are kept on a strict diet. Your can buy this in a number of flavours for you.' The attendant places the bowls in front of the puppy pad so I just need to shift a little to the left to reach them. I look a little disdainfully at the bowl of biscuits, which have obviously been soaked in something.
'Water -- they're soaked in water,' James answers my unspoken question. 'And again, they also have some of our arousal serum in them.' At this point I'm so hungry and weak that I barely care -- I start to work my way through the bowl, trying my best to navigate my way around the circular bowl to get all the biscuits. They taste surprisingly pleasant. I hear the shutter of a camera, and glance up to see James taking photos of me eating from my bowl. I carry on eating tentatively, not quite full enough to care yet.
By the time I finish and take a few laps of water, James has tapped away at his tablet and is now running his hand down the screen. 'Right, April just a few questions about how you're feeling before I run through the final few physical checks. Nod your head for yes, and shake it for no -- understand?' I nod once. 'Good girl.' Treat.
'Are you feeling any pain today?' Shake -- treat.
'Are you feeling better after eating and drinking?' Nod -- treat.
'Are you feeling any discomfort?' Nod. 'Ben expected this -- hold on.' James rummages around in a small box that also must have been brought in by the centre attendant. He retrieves a thermometer and continues towards me, I open my mouth expectantly.
'No April, this must go up your rectum -- we need an accurate reading of your temperature. The insertion will only take a second.' Without warning he pushes the thermometer so far into my ass that I howl and take a few steps forward. He follows me swiftly and pushes it in a little extra.
He times a minute on his tablet while I shift uncomfortably, it doesn't even cross my mind to try and remove it. James removes the thermometer in one quick withdrawal that leaves me whimpering, I'm ashamedly wet between my legs now. He makes a few notes on his tablet after checking the thermometer and then beams down at me. 'Fantastic news! Our reproductive treatment has been successful, you have been boosted into your first heat. That is why you're feeling uncomfortably hot', he pauses as he swipes a hand between my thighs, 'and wet.'
I arch my back and push my rear towards James, hoping that he'll continue stroking me. 'Good girl.' He gives me another treat. 'I'm pleased you're presenting. This is a behaviour that your owner will expect from you on command. Now, while this is your first heat, you're not fertile and may not be for a month or so until your body regulates into its new cycle. We will begin working on some basic training commands, your owner will take over training from tomorrow.'
I lower my back end - discouraged - and huff out a sigh of frustration while James is distractedly tapping on his tablet again. I can feel the area between my legs start to tingle and I give in to temptation and reach down to play with myself to relieve some of the build-up I'm feeling, I slowly circle my clit and let out a sigh of pleasure. I'm jolted by a sharp shock at my neck, I yelp as I jerk my hand away from my pussy.
