PUP ARTEMIS
I started out in the puppy and ABDL community on tumblr like a lot of folks. I had just moved out of parents house so I was free to explore things more well living on my own. I started seeing all these puppies and little boys and thinking “this sounds fun I wanna try”. I would eventually go to the pet store and buy a few dog toys and practice playing with them in my living room. Tossing them around, fetching, napping On a blanket on the floor. Little things like that helped me learn to puppy. Eventually I met an ABDL off Grindr who connected me with the rest of the community. At first I was shy but gradually I came more and more out of my shell until I was running around the bar in just a diaper and puppy hood.
I started off being more on the submissive side but I came to realize it was just not right for me. I liked being the one in charge. The Alpha dog. So I started trying to play as more of a dominant pup well still enjoying diapers and my little side. And that’s how The Little Alpha came to be.
I like to think of myself as a service dog in some ways and a therapy dog in others. I’m always happy to simply curl up on or next to someone and just relax and let them pet me or just hold them and pet them. My friends all know I’m a shoulder they can cry on and a confidant. I like knowing people trust me and try and cultivate a very open and honest personality.
A lot of people separate their pup side and human side but I never really did. I am Artemis. Artemis is me. He’s always there in the back of my mind. Sometimes when I’m frustrated I’ll growl or snarl (startling co workers in the process). I’ve been known to puppy yawn when sleep and I tend to use a lot of body language to convey my feelings. This blending of personalities makes my view on the world so special to me. On one hand in looking at things as a calm rational adult. The other side is this fun playful puppy who just wants to be everyone’s friend. It’s a fun duality that I’ve learned to balance over time.
Diapers to me are just an extension of my pup self. It’s a way for me to find my headspace. Whether that’s calm and relaxed little pup ready to curl up for a nap on a handlers lap. Or the dominant alpha dog ready to pounce on someone and show them their place. I also enjoy the juxtaposition of being a dominant pup in a diaper. It throws people off guard and makes them wonder about where on the scales I fall which makes it that much more fun when I surprise them with my dominant streak.
I love being a puppy. It’s a wonderful way to relax after a long day and to make friends. And the diapers just enhance that. I get to feel super cute and get to avoid potty breaks when going to movies and playing videos games. And getting a diaper change from your friends is an awesome way to bond and is one of the most intimate things you can do with another person in my opinion.
