Grem grem advised me to make a journal to keep everything organized. She gave me her experiment report to use as reference. I figured I would give it a try, it would also help me remember how much Uphie had in savings in case, though I planned to let her physically keep any Happy Coins she saved, so she ran the risk of losing those coins if she wasn’t careful.
=====================================
15/10/20xx [Mon] | Day Two
Uphie and Prie were asleep when I checked on them in the morning, but damn the smell of pig rat waste from inside the Fluffy carrier was so strong. I figured Uphie must have unloaded everything she had last night. I kicked the carrier to wake her and expected a loud fuss, but Uphie was surprisingly quiet and meek. So, I pulled her out of the carrier for a 1 on 1 talk, but that was a big mistake, because when I grabbed her fur and found my hand covered in waste and when I pulled her out, I found her covered in feces. Like it wasn’t a case of she had accidentally defecated on herself, this was clearly one where she took a dump and then rolled around it, as all her fur was covered in a layer of feces. Same applied to Prie. I mean we all called Uphie and Prie shit pigs, but I didn’t think she would take it so literally. Anyways it was disgusting and I found myself having to give Uphie another bath.
She looked terrified but didn’t give me too much of a struggle when I brought her to the bathroom. However, she went absolutely bonkers when I turned on the shower. She kept pleading me not to wash off the feces and how it scared the monsters away. Alize mentioned this. Forest feral stuff. Anyways I told Uphie that if she wanted to be a forest feral I could leave her in the forest again. That quickly shut her up and she stopped giving making a fuss.
After that I cleaned Prie and the Fluffy carrier, also threw away the towel and pillows, cause those were ruined beyond help. I gave Uphie another old towel and pillow to serve as her bed in the Fluffy carrier. Also as expected, it was easier to wash the carrier than baby pig rat. God Prie was so much more annoying that Uphie. Anyways, I gave them all a wash and then I put diapers on Uphie, so that she could not pull that stunt again. I had no diapers for Prie, but I figured Prie would not be able to produce enough. Then again, they were shit rats, and god knows how much waste those pest could produce, so I should keep a close eye on them.
Regarding Uphie and her new career life. She was surprisingly agreeable today. Didn’t make any protest when I told that she needed to pull the Work Wagon if she wanted to stay in the safe room. She only nodded quietly in response and followed me into the safe room. I guess being kicked out for the night really traumatized her, but a part of her was still there. While I was preparing the Work Wagon, she came up behind me and hugged my leg saying that wub mummah shit. I really should have expected it. I just couldn’t give a fuck anymore, so I just let her get it out of her system then strapped her onto the Work Wagon.
Grem grem told me if Uphie does the Work Wagon, I should record the timings to look at trends.
Work Wagon [No. 01] Start 08:45 / End 10:17 ( 92 minutes )
Work Wagon [No. 02] Start 11:05 / End 12:24 ( 79 minutes )
Work Wagon [No. 03] Start 14:36 / End 15:52 ( 76 minutes )
Work Wagon [No. 04] Start 16:45 / End 17:55 ( 70 minutes )
Work Wagon [No. 05] Start 18:15 / End 19:27 ( 72 minutes )
She earned (5) Happy Coins
-
(1) Happy Coin traded for a bowl of kibbles (Basic) in the morning (10:17)
-
(1) Happy Coin traded for a bowl of kibbles (Basic) in the afternoon (12:24)
-
(1) Happy Coin traded for a bowl of kibbles (Basic) at night (19:27)
-
(1) Happy Coin traded for rent
Savings: (1) Happy Coin.
Seeing the numbers was crazy. It felt like I had forced her to work for almost 11 hrs, but then if you look at the times, you realized it was only 6 hours 29 minutes of recorded work time. Uphie herself only had to walk 5 hours, so that meant 1 hour and 29 minutes of rest with the alarm, and there was also 1 hour of unrecorded rest breaks (so breaks without the alarm) between each Work Wagon cycle. So in truth it was not actually that much walking. Maybe to a domestic Fluffy it was a lot, but I heard forest Ferals could walk the entire day, and this stress test proved me right, so I can definitely stick to my 9-5 plan (I guess it’s more of 9-6 though)
Also as I had thought, leaving Uphie outside last night was definitely the necessary motivation. Realizing that failure to pay rent would get you kicked out no matter how much you pleaded, was definitely a wake up call for Uphie to shape up and though she was miserable and gave me glum looks over and over, the matter of the fact was that she pulled the Work Wagon with little to no resistance for five cycles, but I found one major flaw in my plan.
I was wasting so much time on Uphie. I had to constantly go in the safe room so many times. Had to go in to pay Uphie, trade the coin for food, constantly needed to strap and unstrap her from the Work Wagon, plus I constantly needed to ask if she wanted to work again during her resting periods. That was really annoying and I really couldn’t focus on work. I talked to Grem Grem and Lize about that. They brought up a good point. I was just mimicking what I did on Sunday, but this was work, there was no reason for me to keep asking Uphie if she didn’t want to work.
Grem Grem suggested to base on performance, set working time to certain time period and pay based on how many times Uphie could finish a cycle. It was pretty cool that the Work Wagon actually had an option for that. Automatic reset of the time every cycle and a way to count how many cycles were done, there was even a lunch break pause option, so whoever made this Work Wagon must have the same idea as me. Lize also suggested changing payment to a package deal. (4) Happy Coins and Uphie paid for rent, one meal before work, one meal during lunch break and one meal during dinner. Non-negotiable, paid for after the end of the work shift. I love those two so much. Seriously.
I figured on a nine hour work shift with one hour lunch break, giving her eight hours to make four cycles. Two hours per cycle. 09:30 to 18:30, so I had time to do the morning stuff and do some work before I got her set up. A nine hour work shift would also give her plenty of time to slack off or whatever, and time to make a little extra. I really wanted to make this a workable and somewhat fair system. I dunno. It just didn’t feel satisfying if the job was actively against her. Life was what was supposed to screw her over.
Anyways trying to explain it to Uphie was weird. It was like trying to teach trigonometry to a caveman, but the caveman kept nodding like they understood. Like you know they were listening, but you weren’t sure how much was actually being registered. Honestly, it didn’t matter. Practical experience would be a better teacher, and it really helped that she was still being meek and agreeable. I let her and Prie do whatever they wanted for the rest of the night.
Anyways as for Veve and Prie. I wasn’t really focused on either of them.
(Veve) I kept her with me in the home office. She was more than content to hug Keke and kept quiet for most of the day, either hugging her new friend, sleeping or just staring at me while making cute faces. Also got her to try a couple of Uphie’s other dresses. Really cute. She did ask to see her mummah once. Poor baby misses her mother. I’m still thinking of what to do about that. Also tried to house train her. Got my old baby’s first litter box from storage and had it on my desk. Tried to teach Veve about “good poopies” and “bad poopies”. Like her mother, she listened but I do have to wonder how much she actually understood.
(Prie) She was also another problem. I was watching from the safe room cameras and I noticed that Prie would follow Uphie while Uphie walked round and round with that Work Wagon. Thing was that Prie was slower and sometimes walked passed the Work Wagon to catch her up to her mummah. She almost got hit a few times. Given that the Work Wagon was exactly light, it would definitely nick Prie. Worst case was that Prie actually got injured badly, so that was something I needed to think of as well, though I may also consider charging Uphie on healthcare if Prie got injured or something. I also told Uphie to try and train Prie on how to use the litter box, let’s see where that goes.
=====================================
16/10/20xx [Tue] | Day Three
Woke Uphie up at 0900 and gave her breakfast. Regarding payment, as it was a new system, I figured I would give her a free breakfast, lunch and dinner today. The (4) Happy Coins she would pay was for rent and her three meals tomorrow. That way I could take away one meal if she was short on money. I also gave Uphie a little tray for the Happy Coins she saved. I put it inside her Fluffy carrier, and she looked so proud of that one Happy Coin she had in savings. She kept pointing at it and looking at me. I think she was looking for validation, so I called her a good girl. She looked happier after that. That made it easier to strap on the Work Wagon, and I swear that she actually looked excited to work. I wonder if it was because the Work Wagon had become enjoyable or she sought more of my validation, but I really don’t think the optimism would last too long.
She completed the Work Wagon cycle five times today.

Uphie was quiet the whole of today as well. She made a mention that the Work Wagon rest alarm was too loud, but didn’t say much after I asked if she wanted to go back to the forest. She was also quick to shut Prie up, before Prie said anything. After that it was just sad looks. I noticed that she would occasionally make those hu hu hu noises, as she looked at me with tearful puppy dog eyes. I wondered if this was a bid to garner sympathy. I wondered if this was Hasbio Fluffy programming, or was Uphie just arrogant enough to think that I would eventually forgive her if she continued looking at me with misery, despite how much I hate her. Well I let her continue, if this was really arrogance, I expected her to eventually give up and go back to throwing tantrums.
I didn’t really interact with her that much unless I was giving her food or attaching her to the Work Wagon. There was nothing really worth mentioning, except that annoying event in the afternoon, where she got stuck because she had walked to the door to try and get my attention, but was unable to back away because the Work Wagon wasn’t designed for backing up. It happened during a meeting, thank god my staff couldn’t hear the Work Wagon blaring for a good twenty minutes. Well anyways given how loud the alarm was, I doubt that Uphie would try this again, but I warned her that I would kick her out if she did the same. So I guess, only time would tell.
Also I noticed she look really proud of her two Happy Coins in saving, especially after I told her that saving was a good thing. I was hoping that would happen. Taking away those savings for bullshit was how I originally planed to hurt her. I just had to wait. Also it feels kind of pointless to have rent payment cut off at 23:00 as Uphie and Prie usually fall asleep at around 20:00, but doesn’t really matter.
(Veve) Same as yesterday. Cute and quiet. More than content to hug with Keke or stack her adorably tiny blocks. It is absolutely fascinating how she can spend hours just stacking a block on top of another and then unstack and then go back to stacking, but she failed to use the litter box in the morning, so I spent the early half of the afternoon ignoring her after I told her that was disappointed in her. Her desperate pleas for my attention was so satisfying, but I put her and Keke in a shoe box and put it in the living room during my meeting.
After I dealt with Uphie’s stupid shit, I brought Veve back to my office. She spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on the litter box and spent the whole time apologizing, promising never to make “bad poopies” or desperately attempting to regain my affection. It was so deliciously delightful hearing her desperately pleas and watching as her mental sanity slowly drained. She started tapping her foot nervously and tried dancing in an attempt for me to forgive her. It was like that Fluffy, Dorothy, in that experiment by some guy called Spoosh, but I didn’t want Veve to end up like Dorothy, so I forgave her after work. That was fun.
(Prie) In order to keep Prie occupied. I told Uphie that she should carry Prie on her back while she did her Work Wagon duty, so it was like Prie was helping her work. Both Fluffies were fully on-board with that, but after Uphie got stuck and the alarm blared for twenty minutes, I found Prie in the Fluffy carrier and she refused to help her mother afterwards. So much for a strong bond. After that Prie generally stayed away from the Work Wagon, and from the cameras I saw that Prie would only occasionally talk to Uphie, while spending the rest of the time either sleeping or wandering the safe room. Also Prie was not using the litter box. Uphie claimed that she did teach Prie, but also reminded me that Prie was only a “wittle babbeh dat dun nu bettah” so I threw the turd pellets into the dinner kibbles, right in front of her face. They ate the kibbles but complained a lot, so lets see how that would affect them tomorrow.
=====================================
17/10/20xx [Wed] | Day Four
Today was a rather annoying day. Prie was proving to be more of a pest than I thought, but I was able to turn it against Uphie. During lunch I was unstrapping Uphie from the Work Wagon and I noticed Prie was approaching me from the side, but I didn’t realize her intention until I felt something warm and slimy on the heel of my foot. Turns out that Prie had decided to take a nasty deuce in my slipper. So that was absolutely vile. Uphie was quick to apologize on her behalf and kept spewing that Prie was only a little baby bullshit, while she tried protecting her baby. It was like one of those viral videos where the kid was acting like an absolute psycho, but the parents defended their action by saying that they were only a kid and didn’t know any better. So fuck it. If that was the case, then blame the parent right?
So, I took Uphie’s two Happy Coin saving as compensation. Her reaction was satisfying. The second I told her that I was taking her Happy Coins as payment for Prie’s action, she practically bolted to the Fluffy carrier and sat on the saving tray. I actually had to pry her off and she was so desperate to keep her Happy Coins that I thought she would eat them at one point. Anyways once I took the Happy Coins she began screaming and calling me a meanie mummah and pleading for me to give back the Happy Coins. I simply told her that she could only blame herself for raising Prie to be such a brat and that all actions have a consequence, like her running away made me stop loving her and now Prie’s stunt lost her all her savings. She did some more whining, but she quickly turned docile when I reminded her that I could just leave her in the forest.

I noticed there was a drop in performance after lunch. I heard the rest alarm way more and when I came back in, she was absolutely miserable. She kept asking for her savings. I reminded her that it was Prie’s fault but it was like talking to a wall, and she only stopped bringing it up after I asked if I could plug Prie’s ass with a cork in exchange for her savings back. She stopped talking after that, though I think she was actually considering to say yes on the cork thing, but she didn’t say anything and just kept making those annoying whining noises with tearful eyes the whole time I was in the safe room. That became really annoying later.
God. Changing her diaper was such an ordeal. Lying a Fluffy on their back and changing their diaper like a baby, meanwhile the baby looks at you with tearful eyes saying “nu faiw. Iz Uwpee sabings. Uwpee hab manni weggies hurties fo Hwappy Cwoins”. Boo fucking hoo bitch, your kid fucked up and now you pay the consequences, just like fucking real life. This was exactly what I wanted her to feel, but at the same time, It didn’t feel right, like this wasn’t as satisfying as I hoped.
Also should note that she seemed to have gotten better with numbers, because when I gave her the four Happy Coins that she earned today, she kept saying that I was missing one. I guess she thought she would get five Happy Coins every time. It was really hard explaining that she only did four cycles today. Like I showed her my phone and the number of cycle completed, but I’m guessing it was just a bunch of numbers to her, so I gave up when she stared whining like a jet engine starting. I heard tapping on the safe room door, but she gave up after a few minutes.
(Prie) I didn’t really see what Uphie did to Prie during lunch, but after I strapped Uphie onto the Work Wagon for the afternoon period, I noticed Prie hiding in the Fluffy carrier. Prie was still in the carrier when I came back after work end period, so yeah I guess Uphie must have given her an earful and she was sulking the whole time. I was tempted to mock the little turd pellet, but couldn’t really be bothered to further interact with it.
(Veve) I wasn’t really focused on the little gum drop today, but I noticed that she spent the whole day sitting on the litter box hugging Keke. I guess I really traumatized her yesterday. I also played some game with her. I called it Tap. She tapped my hand with her hoof and I tapped her back. It was cute how she got so much enjoyment from such a simple game and her innocence was so adorable, especially when she thought it was just a mistake every time I practically tried to stab her chest with my finger. All fifty times. HAHA, but yeah that helped relieve some stress from her infuriating mother and sister. God I love Veve.
=====================================
18/10/20xx [Thur] | Day Five
A little bit of that entitled brat side began showing up today. I woke Uphie up and watched as she crawled out of the Fluffy carrier glumly. So dramatic. She complained a little bit about having to wake early and how she didn’t like “pwaying wit Mistah Wok Wagon”. I made the mistake of replying “that’s so sad” as the sarcasm didn’t register and thought that this was an opportunity to go on a rant. The Work Wagon was too heavy. The alarm was too loud. The diaper did not make her feel pretty. Working was too tough. I told her to get over it, but she made more of those annoying huhuhu noises, until I threatened to kick her out again. After that, she became meek again and it was back to work.

Today was a bit irritating. I swear I could hear the muffled ringing of the alarm almost every five minutes. Well at least she hit quota today, so can’t really complain. Didn’t really talk to her too much, as I had a lot of my own work to handle. Lunch she was kinda quiet. Just more whimpering and teary eyes, as I unstrapped her from the Work Wagon and gave her lunch. She asked for another hug, I reminded her that it was two Happy Coins and then she kinda broke down, so I just left. She did not eat that much for lunch, but she did managed to make quota.
After end of work period, it was kind of the same thing. She asked for a toy, so I gave her the pricing list, but she had no savings, so yeah that was pointless and she cried some more before crawling back to the Fluffy carrier. I gave her a new bowl for dinner, even though she didn’t finish the lunch bowl. Pointless, I guess, but then again she did pay for three meals today, so I delivered.
I dunno if this system really was working. She was miserable yes, but sometimes it didn’t feel like she was experiencing the true grit of adult life. Like it still felt like I was still mothering her or training her. Work or I kick you out. It just felt like “make good poopies or I’ll put you in the sorry box” kind of deal. My threats felt meaningless too, since I knew I was gonna bring them back the next day and force her to work again. I guess my problem was that this was very different from what I had envisioned.
I guess it was still early, but I kind of expected her to work without me having to say anything with the struggle being more about having enough for needs, but not enough for wants, and saving for wants only for some bullshit to happen. I guess some bullshit happened and she did feel pain from the loss of savings, but I dunno, it really didn’t feel as satisfying as I thought it would.
(Prie) Didn’t focus on her much. She was still in the Fluffy carrier the whole day. I poked her to check if she was alive. She glared at me, but didn’t say anything and took a dump where she slept, guess she was still sulking. I asked Uphie and she just told me that Prie was being a bad babbeh, so I figure the two were still at odds with each other.
(Veve) Still an adorable jelly bean, but yeah I didn’t really focus on her much, today. Was too busy with work. She still refused to leave the litter box, so I told her that she could come out and play with some other toys, as long as she promised to not make bad poopies again. She promised and the rest of the day went back to being a fuzzy bundle of joy. She also made sure to use the litter box every time she needed to relieve herself. I actually felt proud of her for that. I must admit, it felt kind of refreshing. I haven’t house trained a Fluffy in so long, but I wonder how long before she Veve make bad poopies again. Well not that it was a big deal.
More importantly, I am beginning to realize how difficult my Veve sub-plan is. Like right now, it is taking so much effort just to constantly get Uphie working. This was like dealing with those young-adults who did not want to work, but turned up to the max, and I swear it is taking every fiber of my being patiently waiting for her to get used to her new life, and this whole Veve thing just makes everything so messy. Like it is a case of making Uphie despise Veve yet also hold some affection for her. Right now, it feels like leaving Veve alone with Uphie is just a death sentence for a foal, but if I keep up this trend, Veve might lose interest in her mother and well then that plan goes kaput. If Veve does lose interest in Veve, i guess I’ll just return her back to Uphie. See how that goes, but I dunno that also makes me feel kind of sad.
=====================================
19/10/20xx [Fri] | Day Six
I woke Uphie up 8ish. Her mood was a lot worse today. She practically dragged herself out of the carrier and looked absolutely miserable today. She gave me a dead look and told me she didn’t want to “pway wit Mistah Wok Wagon” today. I reminded her that she would get tossed out if she didn’t work, but she just replied “Dun cawe”. I honestly had no idea what to do. Was I just supposed to throw her out? Then bring her back later for another try? How many times would I have to throw her out, before she figures out that I keep giving her another chance and calls my bluff? Then what was I supposed to do? Actually abandon her.
I really didn’t know what I was expecting. I was dealing with a shit rat after all. Disagreeable and entitled. I decided to try manipulation. I brought Veve into the safe room and told the foal that I loved it right in front of Uphie. That certainly struck a nerve, as Uphie suddenly started screaming in protest. Like wow, I really messed with her. She was insulting Veve and she kept saying that I should love her, because I was her baby and not love her own baby. It was such a weird duality, calling Veve a “dummeh, poopie, mummah thief” then saying that Veve was her baby not mine.
I told her that I only liked good Fluffies mothers that worked, but that didn’t work, because then she went full spoiled shit rat and began throwing a fit. Started screaming more insults toward Veve and a straight out refusal to continue working. I was planning to throw her out, but then I realized that I ran risk of ruining my plan with Veve. Uphie seemed like the kind of pig rat that held a grudge even from beyond the grave, and if I did not address this problem, it could have led to a situation in the future where Uphie would never show any affection to Veve, no matter what I tried.
So I broke away from my plan and gave Uphie and Prie an all paid vacation provided by Veve. Basically, I told Uphie that Veve already paid for rent, so she didn’t need to work. Furthermore, Veve would lend her toys and let Uphie and Prie eat with her. Of course, my little jelly bean had no clue what I was talking about, but she did not dispute, especially when her beloved mummah Uphie began showering her in thanks and praise in a complete 180 of an attitude, and the morning was spent playing with the toys. I gave them some blocks, a ball and some stuffed friends.
I also decided to work in the safe room, so that I could observe them play. I had to admit, it felt kind of nostalgic. Working in the safe room while watching a Fluffy play with her toys, but it also felt different. Watching Uphie play was no longer amusing and I found myself constantly picking on her faults. Like the sight of a grown mare in diapers playing with two much smaller foals, but then again I was the one who put her in diapers, and she did ask if I could remove them today, but yeah I dunno, the sight of it just made me realize how much a stupid shit baby Uphie was, yet somehow a mother of two.
Also wow. The difference in treatment between Prie and Veve was crazy. Like you could immediately tell who the favorite child was. Veve stacks block and Uphie goes “Dat gud Gweenie Wewe”. Prie stacks blocks, and it is all like “WOW Pwie am sooooooooooo smarty. Mummah! Mummah! Wook! Pwie am smawt babbeh! Wook! Wook!” Yeah sure, Prie was so smart that she shat on my slippers and lost you two Happy Coins. Also like how quickly they change attitude is really crazy for me. You had Uphie and Prie who were not talking for two days, now acting like the closest mother daughter duo and then you had Veve, who at one point was the scorn of Uphie, suddenly the baby of “gud mummah” Uphie. God Uphie disgusted me.
Also I really didn’t know why, but Uphie really didn’t seem as cute as other Fluffies. Like there were so many traits to point out. She had such an ugly snout, albeit maybe because Lize punched it, but he only attacked her in self-defense. Also her eyes weren’t as wide as other Fluffies. Her blue eyes felt so fake. Her beige fur was faded, and it was so average with no unique patterns, plus her blonde mane and tail looked so basic and dull. Plus her voice always felt so whiny, like nails on chalkboard, unlike the sweet innocent voice of all other Fluffies.
Prie was just as ugly. A brown foal with a blonde mane & tail. I had seen quite a number of brown foals in my life, but Prie was the first where I couldn’t help but see a walking, talking turd, whose only noticeable feature was that patch of blonde hair she called a mane. With a voice just a whiny as Uphie and an attitude just as nasty. Prie really was Uphie’s child, but I really couldn’t understand why she was the favored one. Prie was rather average, especially in comparison to Veve. I mean Veve had those orange stripes that really contrasted with her dark green fur and that brownish red mane. Maybe the colors weren’t the brightest, but they certainly made her rare and more importantly, she had such a lovely attitude. Was it the blonde mane? Was the blonde mane all it took for Uphie to declare Prie the best? Simply because it matched her own? Such a minor common feature, but then again Uphie was a stupid egotistical bitch.
Well anyways watching them play until lunch time was not as amusing as I thought it would be and Uphie would ask for hugs a couple of times. I kept telling her it was two Happy Coins, but she still tried to hug my leg once, so I put my feet on another chair. Oh and lunch time was quite something. I got Veve’s favorite meal, kibbles with milk and honey. I even highlighted that it was Veve’s food, but the second I put it down, Uphie and Prie scrambled to the bowl and began scarfing it all down, Veve was just watching and looking really intimidated by the whole thing and by the time Veve started eating, there was only a small portion left. I thought that would make be interesting to see, Veve’s look of despair, but honestly seeing that whole scene left me feeling sour.
I felt a bit better in the afternoon. Veve was feeling sleepy, so I took her away to let her sleep in her little box bed. Uphie wanted Veve to sleep in the carrier, it felt satisfying telling Uphie that I didn’t want my Fluffy sleeping in such an uncomfortable box and that I was also taking all Veve’s toys away. Watching Uphie express every negative emotion out there as she tried to process her situation, but at the same time, it felt wrong. Like to get any joy from Uphie, even from her suffering, just felt weird. I dunno. Fluffies were for torture and amusement, but Uphie wasn’t a Fluffy, she was a Shit Rat.
Well anyways. I came back in the safe room later that night. She was miserable again and looked really tired, I guess from all that door knocking she did in the afternoon. Anyways I didn’t really feel like talking to her and I really couldn’t give a damn about the work system today. I tossed her a bowl of kibbles and called her an ugly lazy pig. God that felt so satisfying, especially when she looked like she was close to tears . I had this whole thing about teaching her how shit reality is, but I guess I could just treat her like shit and treat Veve great. That would fuck with Uphie.
Also Lize, Grem grem and Hanny said they would come over tomorrow and they wanted to inspect my Fluffy safe room set up. I don’t really know what that was about, but any day when those three were around was always a good day. I just wished they told me earlier so that I could have prepared a feast.
=====================================
20/10/20xx [Sat] | Day Seven
Lize, Grem Grem and Hanny came over today. Didn’t expect Grem grem to read this. It was kind of embarrassing, as I didn’t actually expect anyone to read this, but she said she needed to and it felt suspicious not to let her read it, after I kept telling how nice the journal idea was. Well I guess I’m not too upset. I trust her and I know she’s not the kind to judge. Plus it’s not like I wrote anything scandalous, though I did tell her to skip Day Six. That was just an opinion piece.
This embarrassment was nothing compared to our meeting. We had a discussion about my plan. Actually I think heated debate is a better description. I’ll admit, I definitely got emotional. Far too emotional, but it was hard not to when they kept telling me this whole Uphie thing was a bad idea. They kept saying that it was not going to work and to cut my loses. Grem grem especially, she said this 9-5 was too much for Uphie to handle and that it was putting a lot of work on me.
That really upset me, because like what else was I supposed to do? How else I was supposed to teach her how rough reality was. If I just let her be, she’s going to be thinking that she’s a victim whose worth something. I mean I said that at the time, but then it just made me feel all the more ashamed later, because the three suddenly switched sides and said they would help me, and when they meant help, they really meant it. We actually had a brainstorm meeting in the dining room and highlighted key goals. 9-5 work shifts. 1 hour lunch break. The work was not the key point, the time off was. Saving money and losing it all to reasons beyond her control, plus the use of Prie as both a motivator and burden.
It was definitely mortifying. Thinking about all this by yourself is not a big deal, but hearing it all aloud and spoken by other people. It really did put to perspective the time and effort I was putting for some revenge scheme. Most owners would have pillowed their run away, sent them to a shelter or just put them down. I guess a couple might have taken them in like me, but I don’t think they would do this. It really does make everything I doing seem so petty, but at the same time, I had already put quite a lot of time and effort into the matter, so it just felt kind of like a waste
Regarding our meeting. We talked a lot about it. Spent the whole morning actually. There were comments that I had overestimated the intelligence of Fluffies and was using numbers much too big for them to comprehend. We are working on that. However, Grem grem said that the biggest problem was that I interacted with Uphie far too much. I have to agree, it does feel like I’m babying Uphie too much, and Grem grem thinks that it is preventing Uphie from realizing that she’s not my Fluffy anymore. She said something about automation. There was also talk about needing to properly destroy Uphie’s ego. Seems these three had been talking about even before they came here, as they already had a plan.
We also talked about Veve. Lize brought it up. That discussion made me feel a little bit like a psycho, as it could be pretty much summed up as I want to make a mother hate her child, by giving the child a good life while treating the mother like crap. Too be fair I have been doing some messed up things with Fluffies, yet at the same time that was what Fluffies existed for: Our personal entertainment. They are toys after all, but I do have to wonder what I’m really doing with Veve. Sometimes I want to break her. Sometimes I want to spoil her. So I don’t know what I’m doing about that.
Regarding Uphie. No work today. We had plans to renovate the safe room slightly and Hanny’s friend was going to be modifying the Work Wagon slightly. Also we were going to take Uphie to some party tomorrow, so I just told Uphie that Saturday and Sunday were weekends and weekends were rest days. I’m sure she didn’t understand, but she probably doesn’t care. She heard the word rest and she was ecstatic, but that joy was short lived. Hanny put her in the Scary box just to keep her out of the way. She was really kicking and screaming. Good thing we left the diaper on.
Alize did the same for Prie. Put her in Uphie’s old can with some kibbles. Then we put the Scary Box and Uphie’s can in my home office. I also put Veve there with food, toys, her bed and her litter box. Told her to be a good girl and not make a mess. I trust her not to.
After that we went to work, and I was already feeling guilt at the brainstorm meeting, but it really just shameful how much work I had given them, but at the same time I didn’t stop them, because I really do what to make this Uphie thing work. After lunch we spent the afternoon clearing up the safe room. Took away most of the storage boxes, and there was a lot of Fluffy-related stuff. Grem grem and I spent a few hours sorting through all the things.
It was definitely frustrating, going through all the stuff and seeing how much I had purchased for Uphie. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that it also made me sad. Almost all the items had good memories with Uphie. We were really close for so long. Was I really not worth staying for, just because I said no to having foals? It doesn’t matter anymore. I sent photos to some of my friends, asking if any of them wanted any of the stuff. Mabe said she did, so we packed a couple of boxes for her and put it in Grem grem’s car.
Meanwhile, Lize and Hanny had spent the afternoon removing all the carpeted padded floor in the safe room. It was kind of interesting to see the hardwood floor below again. The two also sealed any holes in the floor and any gaps between the floor and walls. Then applied some of kind of wax that Grem grem got from her work place. Apparently the wax makes it really easy to clean Fluffy waste off the floor, so to stop me from doing the diaper thing (Part of the reduced interaction aspect) and it was also to show Uphie that this was not the home she remembered anymore (Part of the destroy her ego aspect). Grem grem said that the floors should be okay, because Uphie had been a feral for nine months so they had tougher hooves.
Late afternoon. Grem grem and Hanny left. They went to drop off the stuff at Mabe’s house and then take the Work Wagon to Hanny’s friend for modification. I spent the later afternoon cooking, while Lize was tasked with installing a Fluffy fence. It was the one I used to stop Uphie from leaving her safe room when I accidently leave the door open, but like that didn’t stop her from escaping, though to be fair, she escaped by stacking stuff like a staircase to climb the fence. She doesn’t have stuff now and Lize bolted down the fence to ensure she could not topple it down.
This was Hanny’s idea actually. Use the Fluffy fence to divide the safe room into two spaces. Apparently one of his friends did this, though intentions were a little different. In the case of his friend. The Fluffies on side existed to be abused and the Fluffies on the other side were cared for. A visual punishment kind of deal. Bad Fluffies go to the abuse side. Good Fluffies were cared for. In my case, one side was for Veve and one side was for Uphie and Prie. The Work Wagon needed a lot of space though, but Hanny said his friend was working on that, and it would be ready on Monday.
I know that Monday was a public holiday, but it still made me guilty. They spent the whole of today working on my petty revenge scheme and maybe the same for Monday. Hopefully the party on Sunday would be fun to make up for the time I took from them, and I already making a list of stuff to make for those three on Monday. Hanny also made me feel a little better. He said that this was fun and that us four hadn’t done any group activities for a while. It did ease the guilt, but only somewhat. I’m just really grateful to those three.
Regarding the renovated safe room. It was now divided into two sides: Uphie’s side and Veve’s side.
Uphie’s side was the deeper half of the room. The side unconnected to the door. It served as a physical barrier between me and her, and also prevented me from suddenly attempting to hug my legs when I entered the safe room during her non-work hours. Grem grem also said to put all Uphie’s stuff against one wall. So the Fluffy carrier that served as her bed, the litter box and an automatic feeder that I found stored away (This was for the automation aspect). We purposely left Uphie with a big open space on her side, just to show how little she actually had (Break ego aspect)
Veve’s side was technically the other half, but we limited it further to just the table. We put some small boxes around the sides of the table to acts as a sort of wall, and put some of the floor padding on the table. We filled the table with toys and some of the more premium Fluffies accessories. It was definitely a makeshift design, but personally I think it looks fantastic, and I really don’t think Veve is the kind to complain. In fact I just knew she would love it.
Also Grem grem said I should limit interactions with the Fluffies to only this space, to highlight that Fluffies should only occupy one part of my life. I get what she is going for, but am also a bit hesitant, as I have come to really like playing with Veve while working.
Later that night, I showed the Fluffies their new living space. As expected, Veve absolutely loved her new space and Uphie was devastated. Selfish bitch took on look at all the stuff her daughter had and she went berserk, ranting about Veve taking all her stuff and even taking her castle bed. Thinking about it, the table did kind of look like a castle. Lize played it well, telling Veve that something Uphie gets possessed by a scary munstah called Envy and that hugs and love make it all better. I don’t know if I’m doing that Veve thing.
Anyways. Everyone is staying over tonight and tomorrow night. I am quite excited for the party.
