"description": "Lady Dear ran her hand across the wooden banister of the railing as her soft chocolate eyes gazed out across the port of Savannah. The evening moon had risen, casting its light across the harbor in a tapestry of motion. The night was young, and life in the town around the docked steamer “Devils Paw” was revolving around the saloons on the main drag and the festivities held inside. But here, on the deck of the steamship, everything else seemed far away. Here, Lady had been invited to the private quarters of an old friend to have a portrait made. Somewhere out there another ship, a coal burning freighter, was likewise steaming. Having left five hours ago, it was the reason for the cocker's departure from her home to the port. On board the freighter where three steam locomotives designed and built in the Western & Atlantic's shops. Locomotives that the experienced engineer brought to the docklands to be exported to Habana. It was a new and somewhat lucrative trade. The Atlanta Works where skilled machinists. But like everything, it was a fierce market. The A.E.K. Steam and Traction had already sent several locomotives into South America. It would be a game of catch up for the W&A.\n\nAbove the passenger deck, on the private promenade of the ship's owner, the lone cocker spaniel walked. Her long beautiful ears just picking up the sounds of the harbor water lapping at the hull below, among the soft echo of her heels clicking on the wooden deck. There was a slight chill in the air. Enough so that the spaniel could see her own breath in small puffs in front of her nose. She had come to the steamer after dinner in a near by restaurant with her mate, dressed in a baby blue silk top, strapless with a low cut. Underneath the flowing cloth of the skirt, she wore silk stockings and closed toe blue heels. Her fur shimmered in the night air, it's usual soft luster.\n\nEntering the private quarters she found herself in a corridor, beautifully appointed, that ran the width of the ship. On each side stood two double doors made from solid mahogany. One led to the private abode of Penny Rose Navita, who owned the steamer. Lady could hear strands of a gramophone coming from within, her delicate hand rising to give a set of soft knocks. Announcing her arrival.\n\n“It's open!” Came a female voice from within.\n\nThe door was unlocked, and the graceful spaniel entered to find the mouse in question setting up a fresh spread of canvas atop an easel. Her room was without a doubt the largest on board and was decorated with rich walnut paneling that reflected back the lighting in a warm and inviting way. The carpets where rich and full, Lady could feel her heels sink slightly as she stepped inside. The furnishings where richly appointed, yet the room had a very lived in look. Clothing lay spread on the bed, a afternoon gown tossed across a wing backed chair. A small package lay opened on the floor by the wardrobe. The desk was covered with papers and Penny had a vast assortment of paints spread before her. Tubes both half emptied, and freshly cut.\n\nThe lite mouse herself was wearing a simple white frock and black skirt. Her shoes had been kicked aside and she stood in stocking feet. However, Lady could tell that under the frock, Penny was bare from the waist up. Her perky breasts where unflattering concealed behind the cloth. Obviously meant to keep spilled paint from landing anywhere it shouldn't.\n\nIn the corner of the room, a gramophone was playing a Finish ballad.\n\n“Hullo, You're just in time. I'm glad you could accept my invitation. It's been far too long since we last met,” The mouse turned and greeting the spaniel with a warm smile and a slight British accent. Her tone was melodious and pleasant, unmistakably friendly with a hint of mischief behind it. Her eyes taking in Lady's well dressed form. “Might I add you look positively stunning tonight.”\n\nLady softly chuckled, warm and smooth in the easy glow of the ship's lanterns. “Thank you. Tramp returned to the hotel already. So, it shall be just me tonight.”\n\n\"That's a shame, I was hoping to paint you both tonight. Lovers make such adoring subjects.\" Penny motioned to a soft padded stool, set so that the optimum amount of light would be across the subject matter. Lady walked over to the stool, and sat down. It had been sometime since she had last posed for a painting. One of Penny's pieces hung in her home above the fireplace, showcasing her and her mate. There where others of course...less publicly displayable ones. She crossed her legs and shuffled the fabric aside so that her heels, and stocking clad legs where visible up to her shins. Before placing her hands in her lap.\n\n\"He had a hard time keeping the fires stoked on all three locomotives during the trip under tow.\" Lady commented. \"Poor dear had his food, and retired. But he sends his regards and we shall all get together soon.\"\n\n“That's fine, you are more then enough to spark my muse. He has earned his rest,” Penny nodded, before turning to the canvas. She began to do a rough sketch using a piece of knife sharped led. “So, this is the third shipment of locomotives you've escorted to the port this year. Seems business is booming in export.”\n\n“It is, however the ones we dropped off are the last for the year,” Lady shuffled on the seat slightly. Rolling her shoulders so that her long silky ears would be cast behind her back. “After we return to Marceline and our own locomotive, I suspect Tramp and I will be back on our regular run. Clay traffic is down this quarter, so we're making it up by exporting new builds. There is some concern about the return traffic in bricks. But we are hoping for a good passenger season to pick up the slack.”\n\n“Well, I'm happy that your schedule and ours coincided. For one last time,” Penny quickly made a few stipples with a soft paint brush, placing the end of a brush in her mouth when returning with the led. “Can you move you hands slightly, your arm and shoulder are sort of in the way of your chest.\n\nLady shuffled on the seat slightly. “One last time?”\n\n“Oh yes,” Penny nodded. “This shall be my last Gulf crossing for the season. We drop our lines in two days and start the trip to South America. Winter below the Hemisphere is far less aggressive then in these northern waters.”\n\n“Oh, Tramp shall be disappointed he was unable to come tonight,”\n\n\"All the more reason for a return. Now, I shall sketch out a rough, and we shall began. Relax and hold yourself naturally, as you will be in this position for a while.\"\n\nLady nodded, a kind smile across her maw. Watching as Penny returned to her work. For a few moments, both subject and artist where silent. The room was wonderfully warm, the steam radiators doing their job. The scratching of the led against the canvas accompanied by the soft ticking of the clock atop a mantelpiece, and the gramophone.\n\n“Quite a place you have up here.” The spaniel mused.\n\n“My private world. I originally intended to use the Paw as a yacht. My pocketbook had other ideas. Thus, a passenger steamer she became.”\n\n“Still, a little home afloat on the sea. Your own rules and laws.”\n\n“Yes, but it has it's prices. Oh, can you broaden your body, straighten your back just a bit more? Otherwise you'll start squirming later on. Would a spot of brandy help. I only drink while at sea, and even more so only up here in my cabin.”\n\nLady shook her head no. “Thank you, no. I've already had a glass down at dinner and I try not to drink without the Tramp.”\n\n“Fair enough. But you're too stiff.....”\n\nThe mouse stood back from her easel. Plucking the paintbrush from the corner of her mouth and placing it atop the small table which held all her paints and the palette. Likewise, the bit of led was also deposited. Penny moved to the plush stool, standing behind her friend. A pair of delicate hands reached the cocker's exposed shoulders. Well-trained fingers squeezed and stroked as the palms they were connected to pressed into the flesh just above Lady's shoulder blades. She was very practiced.\n\nLady closed her eyes and let out a small moan as her shoulders where worked. She could feel the knots and tight muscles pop. “Oh, that hit the spot.”\n\n“I've had practice.” The mouse responded. “But you seem a bit locked more then usual. I know your...interests...tend to keep you flexible.”\n\nA soft hum of approval rose up from Lady as her eyes drifted shut. She was enjoying this a great deal. Slowly her entire form softened, every muscle losing tension. She was like putty in the mouse's hands. Penny felt every subtle twitch of the spaniel in her hands, detecting faint signs of stress once the initial muscles where loosened. Penny, for her part, enjoyed the feeling of her friend’s bare shoulders. Lady's fur was a natural sort of soft and the shade and luster some dogs would kill to obtain. Her long fluffy ears where tossed forward, allowing the mouse free access to both the shoulder blades, and the back of Lady's neck.\n\nDown the mouse moved, bringing her hands from Lady's shoulders to her back proper, moving in along her spine, inching her way down the cocker's form, stopping only when her fine fingers brushed against the very top him of Lady's gown. Lady was soft, supple, and had she not held such a dear friendship with her, a different Penny in a different world would not have passed up the chance to seduce the spaniel. The cocker gave a soft roll of her shoulders and Penny's talented fingers dug into the soft fur, turning the muscles to pure goo. The mouse ran her fingers up the back of the spaniel’s neck, before sliding them through the mahogany ear-fur right where Lady's luxurious cocker spaniel ears met the side of her head. Lady closed her eyes and moaned slightly. Before giving another firm roll of her shoulders, arms at her side, hands clinching the sides of the stool.\n\n“There...that should help.” The mouse replied before moving away. Gliding across the soft carpet of the room over to the gramophone. She carefully removed the needle, and put a new wax cylinder on the reel. The sound of a romantic opera filled the room, as Penny returned to her canvas. “Now then, as before. I plan to start with a portrait. After-which, we shall disrobe and I shall paint you as nude as the day you were born.”\n\nLady nodded, and returned to her pose. Penny quickly returned to the work on the canvas. Sketching and making the alterations she saw fit. Within the hour another fine portrait would start to be eeked into life.\n\n\n*********\n\n\nPenny Rose and the SS Devil's Paw belong to an old friend, Kenoscope, who's gallery can be viewed on Fur affinity.\n\nIt's been a long time since I looked upon that particular steamer.

"That's a shame, I was hoping to paint you both tonight. Lovers make such adoring subjects." Penny motioned to a soft padded stool, set so that the optimum amount of light would be across the subject matter. Lady walked over to the stool, and sat down. It had been sometime since she had last posed for a painting. One of Penny's pieces hung in her home above the fireplace, showcasing her and her mate. There where others of course...less publicly displayable ones. She crossed her legs and shuffled the fabric aside so that her heels, and stocking clad legs where visible up to her shins. Before placing her hands in her lap.
"He had a hard time keeping the fires stoked on all three locomotives during the trip under tow." Lady commented. "Poor dear had his food, and retired. But he sends his regards and we shall all get together soon."
“That's fine, you are more then enough to spark my muse. He has earned his rest,” Penny nodded, before turning to the canvas. She began to do a rough sketch using a piece of knife sharped led. “So, this is the third shipment of locomotives you've escorted to the port this year. Seems business is booming in export.”
“It is, however the ones we dropped off are the last for the year,” Lady shuffled on the seat slightly. Rolling her shoulders so that her long silky ears would be cast behind her back. “After we return to Marceline and our own locomotive, I suspect Tramp and I will be back on our regular run. Clay traffic is down this quarter, so we're making it up by exporting new builds. There is some concern about the return traffic in bricks. But we are hoping for a good passenger season to pick up the slack.”
“Well, I'm happy that your schedule and ours coincided. For one last time,” Penny quickly made a few stipples with a soft paint brush, placing the end of a brush in her mouth when returning with the led. “Can you move you hands slightly, your arm and shoulder are sort of in the way of your chest.
Lady shuffled on the seat slightly. “One last time?”
“Oh yes,” Penny nodded. “This shall be my last Gulf crossing for the season. We drop our lines in two days and start the trip to South America. Winter below the Hemisphere is far less aggressive then in these northern waters.”
“Oh, Tramp shall be disappointed he was unable to come tonight,”
"All the more reason for a return. Now, I shall sketch out a rough, and we shall began. Relax and hold yourself naturally, as you will be in this position for a while."
Lady nodded, a kind smile across her maw. Watching as Penny returned to her work. For a few moments, both subject and artist where silent. The room was wonderfully warm, the steam radiators doing their job. The scratching of the led against the canvas accompanied by the soft ticking of the clock atop a mantelpiece, and the gramophone.
“Quite a place you have up here.” The spaniel mused.
“My private world. I originally intended to use the Paw as a yacht. My pocketbook had other ideas. Thus, a passenger steamer she became.”
“Still, a little home afloat on the sea. Your own rules and laws.”
“Yes, but it has it's prices. Oh, can you broaden your body, straighten your back just a bit more? Otherwise you'll start squirming later on. Would a spot of brandy help. I only drink while at sea, and even more so only up here in my cabin.”
Lady shook her head no. “Thank you, no. I've already had a glass down at dinner and I try not to drink without the Tramp.”
“Fair enough. But you're too stiff.....”
The mouse stood back from her easel. Plucking the paintbrush from the corner of her mouth and placing it atop the small table which held all her paints and the palette. Likewise, the bit of led was also deposited. Penny moved to the plush stool, standing behind her friend. A pair of delicate hands reached the cocker's exposed shoulders. Well-trained fingers squeezed and stroked as the palms they were connected to pressed into the flesh just above Lady's shoulder blades. She was very practiced.
Lady closed her eyes and let out a small moan as her shoulders where worked. She could feel the knots and tight muscles pop. “Oh, that hit the spot.”
“I've had practice.” The mouse responded. “But you seem a bit locked more then usual. I know your...interests...tend to keep you flexible.”
A soft hum of approval rose up from Lady as her eyes drifted shut. She was enjoying this a great deal. Slowly her entire form softened, every muscle losing tension. She was like putty in the mouse's hands. Penny felt every subtle twitch of the spaniel in her hands, detecting faint signs of stress once the initial muscles where loosened. Penny, for her part, enjoyed the feeling of her friend’s bare shoulders. Lady's fur was a natural sort of soft and the shade and luster some dogs would kill to obtain. Her long fluffy ears where tossed forward, allowing the mouse free access to both the shoulder blades, and the back of Lady's neck.
Down the mouse moved, bringing her hands from Lady's shoulders to her back proper, moving in along her spine, inching her way down the cocker's form, stopping only when her fine fingers brushed against the very top him of Lady's gown. Lady was soft, supple, and had she not held such a dear friendship with her, a different Penny in a different world would not have passed up the chance to seduce the spaniel. The cocker gave a soft roll of her shoulders and Penny's talented fingers dug into the soft fur, turning the muscles to pure goo. The mouse ran her fingers up the back of the spaniel’s neck, before sliding them through the mahogany ear-fur right where Lady's luxurious cocker spaniel ears met the side of her head. Lady closed her eyes and moaned slightly. Before giving another firm roll of her shoulders, arms at her side, hands clinching the sides of the stool.
“There...that should help.” The mouse replied before moving away. Gliding across the soft carpet of the room over to the gramophone. She carefully removed the needle, and put a new wax cylinder on the reel. The sound of a romantic opera filled the room, as Penny returned to her canvas. “Now then, as before. I plan to start with a portrait. After-which, we shall disrobe and I shall paint you as nude as the day you were born.”
Lady nodded, and returned to her pose. Penny quickly returned to the work on the canvas. Sketching and making the alterations she saw fit. Within the hour another fine portrait would start to be eeked into life.

It's been a long time since I looked upon that particular steamer. ",
