After about a half hour of play, you bring your new ball back to Jack expecting him to throw it again. Instead, he says, "Sorry boy, I gotta go. Lucky you don't have to work huh?"
For a moment, you tilt your head to the side trying to figure out the meaning of master's words, then it hits you all at once, 'HOLY SHIT!! I just played fetch, and...and loved it! And my boxers... what the hell is going on!!"
Then you remember how good it felt to have your ear scratched.... What the hell was going on? You remember that feeling of complete contentment as Jack scratched, how good it felt to be the center of his attention.... 'God why can't I get that out of my head!!'
Still... you can't get that feeling out of your head. You reach up with your hand to feel your ear, just to see if you can recreate the feeling.
You scratch at your ear but this time, you don't feel the burst of pleasure that you did when Jack did. You do feel your soft floppy ears that end in points however.
'WHAT THE FUCK!' You jump up to two legs in shock but you are off balance. "Ugh! Bad dog! I told you not to jump up!" Jack shouts at you. He pushes your shoulder and you fall backward with your arms in the air.
Before you can do anything else Jack pulls a leash out of his pocket and attaches it to your collar. He then ties the other end of the leash to a stake in the middle of the yard.
You reach for the leash to untie it but as soon as you touch it, your hands start to cramp up. You stare at your palm as black callouses begin to form. Your eyes widen as your thumbs pulls themselves into the back of your wrists, becoming useless dew claws.
You watch as the changes slow and stop. Your fingers are still there, but their range of motion is only about half their normal abilities. That, and the fact that your thumbs are gone, means you aren't going to be gripping anything.
Your really starting to freak out. You look up at Jack and try to speak to him. Instead of gargling, you start yipping, almost like what you would here from a puppy.
Jack just smiles and says, "Be good, ill be back tonight. I asked my nephew to stop by later. See you boy!"
With that, he walks through the back door, closing it behind him, leaving you tethered outside.
