Handbook to Hellhound Cohabitation
#3 of Amateur Demon Summoning
So, here you are. Through some breach of proper demon summoning conduct, you've been enthralled by a hellhound. Well, not to fear! This handbook will be a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about this exciting lifestyle adjustment. In mere minutes, you'll be well-equipped for a prosperous and mutually beneficial arrangement between you and your new master.
Now, I'm sure you've heard the old rule of thumb: "Two weeks for the shock to wear off, two years to accept your position in life, two centuries to relish in your servitude." While it may sound like an oversimplification, it's quite true! It's important that you keep in mind that any discomfort you may experience is just a small bump in the long road of relationship development between you and your hellhound. With that said, let's review some of the fundamentals to help ease your way into your new alternative lifestyle.
Excited? You should be! Let's dive in.
Part 1: Bed Sharing
It's the first thing that comes to mind for many new hellhound thralls. After all, who wouldn't want to cuddle up between the sheets with a thousand pounds of fluff and hellfire? However, I would advise you to resist that urge. It's important that you and your hellhound establish healthy boundaries. To feel truly comfortable in your home, he needs to have personal space to call his own. Not to worry, though! There are several enticing options for you to rest your head that you'll find just as comfortable as your newly-appropriated bed. Classic options include inflatable mattresses or cozy couches, but your hellhound may see fit to instead place you in a metal kennel or a dog bed. While these may feel intimidating at first, I encourage you to follow your hellhound's instructions. Remember, he knows what's best for you.
Part 2: House Training
One of the most surprising parts of living with a hellhound is his need to relieve himself. It's a common sight for any experienced thrall to walk into a room to see a horse-sized demon lifting a hind leg and wetting the wall, couch, chair, or any other object beneath him. While it's instinctual for many thralls to attempt to curtail this behavior, I strongly discourage that choice. It's natural for a hellhound to mark his territory to feel more comfortable in his environment. Any effort to prevent that behavior will almost certainly result in severe punishment.
For cleaning purposes, I recommend the usage of coffee grounds or baking soda to eliminate any lingering aromas. Both are fully capable of removing odors from your furniture as well as your skin. For long-term ease, I would counsel against any carpet or fabric-based furniture, in favor of wood or concrete wherever possible. Should you find your hellhound feels the need to mark you as his territory with some regularity, consider investing in a heavy-duty rain jacket. Most cheap windbreakers won't be sufficient and will wear down in time due to the acidity of the fluid in question. In this situation, as is often the case, make the investment in quality.
Part 3: Negative Reinforcement
The relationship between a pet and master is a delicate one, and requires a great amount of trust and communication between both parties. However, mistakes happen. In these situations, it's important that the hellhound takes action to reprimand you, so you'll learn from your errors. Why is this included in a thrall's handbook, you may ask, if it's the hellhound's responsibility to inflict punishment? Recognizing when you've disappointed your master and eagerly taking part in your subsequent punishment is an excellent way to recover from your mistakes and repair your image in your hellhound's eyes. Should the hellhound ever ask for your input, here are a few recommendations you might give of how you could be punished:
confinement to cage or kennel
dog collar, leash, and/or cone
tongue cleaning of the hellhound's bodily surfaces
vigorous spanking and/or paddling
chastity
Part 4: Hygiene
Do NOT, under ANY situation, attempt to give your hellhound a bath.
Part 5: You and Your Changing Body
As you transition into thralldom, you will likely notice several or all of the following:
sulphurous or salty body odor
growth spurts
dramatically empowered metabolism
reduced or eliminated aging
increased body hair
hardened and/or blackened fingernails and toenails
elevated interest in sex
slitted pupils or darkened irises
lengthened canine teeth
improved orifice flexibility and recuperation
Fear not! All of these changes are perfectly natural indicators that you're becoming the excellent hellhound servant you're destined to be. In extreme cases, you may take note of other symptoms not listed above, such as the appearance of a heat cycle in genetically female thralls. While that topic could be worth an entire handbook of its own, for our purposes here, should you notice yourself entering heat, defer to your hellhound's advice. He is fully equipped to guide you through this process, and will undoubtedly leap at the chance to participate in such a beautiful aspect of life.
Part 6: Socialization
As you settle into your life as a thrall, you may grow concerned that you're incapable of fully meeting your hellhound's needs. When considering a hellhound's elevated libido, excellent athleticism, and polygamous nature, one thrall is woefully insufficient to keep him satisfied and happy.
So, with that all in mind, you'll quickly reach the conclusion that you need to bring in more thralls. But how do you go about it? Online forums are sketchy, and the demon-summoning community at large is far less tight-knit than it once was. Rest assured, dramatic actions like grabbing someone off the street is completely unnecessary and likely counterproductive. In fact, the perfect candidate may be closer than you think!
If you haven't guessed already, the easiest way to bring others into a relationship with your treasured hellhound is to begin with your closest and most treasured friends! For first-timers, I'd recommend a spouse or significant other. The natural trust and adoration they hold for you will make the process of inducting them as a hellhound's personal servant and consort far easier and more convenient.
Once you've successfully lured your significant other into the paws of your master, I encourage you to resist your urge to give the two of them privacy! Being tied by a hellhound for the first time can be a stressful experience, as I've no doubt you remember. The process will go much more smoothly with your guidance and an extra pair of hands to squeeze or fondle whatever may need to be squeezed or fondled at the time (left to your discretion).
Part 7: Discretion
One of the most important aspects of building and expanding your hellhound's harem is remaining discrete and unnoticed by the larger world. After all, the last thing any thrall wants is to disappoint his master! Should your loose lips reveal and consequently derail your hellhound's plans of world domination, he would undoubtedly be mightily disappointed in you (see Part 3: Negative Reinforcement). To avoid that, do everything in your power to appear to the outside world as the independent, fully-functional mortal you no longer are. Keep in mind, discretion could very well include soundproofing your bedroom walls and/or interfering with religious operations that may interfere with your hellhound's aspirations. Remember! Being uncovered as a heretic and monster-fucking degenerate is an inconvenience for everyone involved.
And there you are! The complete guide to the first 60 days of cohabitation with your hellhound. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor, and remember: your new life in the service of our mortally challenged friends is a noble one, no matter what any friends, coworkers, religious figures, or general public opinion may say about it.
