Four-on-Fours

I remain a few steps behind Liz as she crawls through the house. She trots from the living room to the dining room, finally stopping at the backdoor. As soon as she gets there, she turns around and plops her butt down next to the door. She happily stares at me and continues to pant.

"Uh... do you want to go outside?" I ask in mild confusion.

I briefly worry about Liz understanding me, but luckily, it seems like she kept that ability despite her otherwise completely doglike behavior. Although, now that I think about it, dogs do tend to have a knack for understand what their owners are saying...

Not important right now. All that matters is that Liz knows what I'm asking her. She shakes her head to say that she doesn't want to go out. She then scoots closer to the door and paws against it, letting out a small whimper as she does so.

"Is something out there?" I try again to interpret her message.

"Woof!" She lets out with a smile.

So that's it. There's something outside she wants me to see. Luckily, the backdoor to our house is one of those large window doors, so all it takes is a glance for me to see into the backyard. As my eyes scan across the yard, I do a double take as I notice something. Or rather, someone. Is that...?

I quickly open the door and step outside.

"Rose! What are you doing out there?" I call out from the patio.

Immediately, Rose stops whatever she was doing and looks up at me. The joy in her eyes at seeing me is instantly apparent. What's not instantly apparent is why she's sitting out in the yard like that. She's also completely naked again, so there's that. For a brief moment, I wonder if she got her exhibitionism fetish back and felt the need to go lay outside in the nude. However, that theory is quickly shot down by what happens next.

"Awoooooo!" Rose belts out after seeing me.

Wait a second... did she just...?

Before I have a chance to fully process anything, Rose begins sprinting toward me, all the while staying on her hands and knees. It's honestly impressive how fast the girl moves despite being on all fours. Within seconds, she leaps up and collides with me, knocking me over as we both fall into the house.

It takes me a moment to get my baring, but once I do, I realize that Rose is happily licking my face. Liz has also crawled over to us, though she seems less excited. She appears to be assessing me to make sure I'm not hurt.

"Don't worry, Liz. I'm alright," I say with a pat on the head, putting her at ease. Rose then licks my face again, causing me to instinctively push her down. "Alright, alright, that's enough, Rose. Calm down."

"Ruff!" Rose exclaims as I finally manage to push her off of me.

So I didn't mishear the first time. Rose is barking and howling just like Liz. I guess that means the flavor of the day is puppy play. Although, that doesn't exactly explain how she ended up getting locked outside. I use the term "locked" pretty loosely, as Rose is fully capable of standing up and opening the backdoor on her own, but you know how into her roleplay she gets. Thank goodness Liz was smart enough to get me as soon as I got home.

It's a bit strange seeing both women down on their hands and knees acting like dogs together. Still, there is something amusing about the situation as well. And it's not like I can complain about two naked women crawling around trying to show how much they love me. While I would have preferred to not get tackled, this could definitely lead to a fun afternoon.

"Mrrow?"

Huh? I glance over at Rose and Liz, who are both still staring at me adoringly. It doesn't look like either of them made that noise. After a moment of confusion, I suddenly freeze up. Oh god. Please don't tell me that was what I think it was... Slowly, I turn around and look down at the ground behind me. And that's when I see her.

You've got to be kidding me. Did Julia get infected by the Wild Card Virus again? That's the most likely explanation for why she's currently on her knees, holding her upper body against the wall while shaking her ass enticingly. While I do appreciate the sight, it also does make me slightly concerned given how much of a handful Wild Card Julia has been in the past.

Once she's done showing off her naked body, Julia hops down off the wall and begins crawling over to me. Once she reaches her destination, she rubs up against my leg and starts to purr. So... Julia's a cat? Between her meowing a moment ago, her soft purrs now, and the general gracefulness of her movements, it seems that way. It would also explain why she's wearing that headband. The bow on top does kind of resemble cat ears.

Why is Julia acting like a cat specifically though? I mean, if she got the idea from Rose, shouldn't she also be a dog? Unless Rose actually got a general petplay fetish and they just manifested in different ways. I guess that's possible. That still doesn't explain why Julia chose to be a cat though.

"Um... good girl, Julia..." I say, not sure how else to respond to her affection. I slowly reach down and stroke her hair.

"HISSSSS!" Julia reacts loudly. She suddenly jumps back and swats at my hand.

OW! What the fuck?! She scratched me! I look at Julia's nails to see that they look sharper than usual. Thankfully, she didn't seem to draw blood or anything, but it still hurt. And not a moment later, she's back to rubbing up against me. It's like even in pet form, she's still a brat...

Oh... That's probably why she's a cat...

Having Rose and Liz as dogs for a little bit was an humorous idea, but Julia being a mischievous kitten in addition to that? That might be a bit much. I could really use some help.

"Hey, Michelle! Are you home? Can you come over here? I need you," I call out.

I cross my fingers that she's not still at work. She should theoretically be here by now, but you never know when something could hold her up. My prayers are answered when I start to hear footsteps rapidly coming down the stairs. However, I guess my prayers you should have been more specific, as I see a figure speed by the corner of my eye before jumping onto the couch. And turning to see what it was, I find...

"Arf arf!"

"Oh, come on! Not you too, Michelle!" I cry out.

Shockingly, Michelle is the first person to react to my concern. Her face immediately changes to that of embarrassment. She instantly stops wagging her ass, hops off the couch, and stands on her feet.

"I-I'm sorry, Master. Am I not allowed to play pet with everyone else? I knew I should have asked you for permission first. Please forgive me," she begs.

Well, that was unexpected. Clearly Michelle was infected by Rose's attribute just like Julia, and yet, she seems to be the only one who's able to snap back to her normal self. Or rather, she's the only one willing to. Her sole purpose in life is to please and obey me, so she must be the only person who can to resist her new fetish when she thinks I don't like what she's doing. That confirms the theory I had with Julia about the "Wild Card" identity stacking on top of an existing identity rather than replacing it.

"Calm down, Michelle. It's okay. You just caught me by surprise," I try to assure her.

"Does that mean I'm allowed to...?"

She doesn't want to say it, but it's pretty obvious that she's hoping I'll let her get back down on the ground and be a puppy again. Honestly, I do feel a bit bad about stressing her out like that, even if only for a moment. Still, having to handle three pets was already a concerning idea, let alone a fourth.

Wait a second...

"Hold that thought, Michelle," I tell her before dashing toward the stairs.

I rush up to the second floor of the house, feeling a sense of panic as I do. Once I make it up, I run down the hall to Michelle's room. Please be normal... please be normal... please be normal...

I swing the door open. As I do, I see Bianca sitting at Michelle's desk looking at her phone. Upon hearing the door slam open, she turns to look at me and raises an eyebrow.

"Can I help you?" She asks.

Oh thank god. At least there's one other human in this house right now. Er... robot... I guess. You know what I mean.

Now that that brief moment of alarm is over, I can finally relax somewhat. I apologize to Bianca for bursting in on her, then return downstairs. When I get there, I find that Michelle is still standing in the living room awkwardly while the other three women happily indulge in their animalistic urges. And by that, I mean that they're sniffing each other's asses. A sight that is both amusing and slightly arousing, if I'm being honest.

After a bit of discussion, Michelle and I come up with a compromise. Well, I don't know if it's really a compromise as much as it is Michelle agreeing to the first thing I suggest, but still. I tell her that I'll let her be a puppy as long as she helps me keep an eye on the other three pets. I don't expect Michelle to cause much trouble herself, given that even in dog form, she's still thrives on being obedient, but when it comes to Rose and Julia... yeah, no. I love them, but there is no way I'm going to trust them.

Once we have all that sorted out, Michelle gleefully drops to the floor and goes back to barking and panting. I will admit, it's cute watching her crawl around with everyone else. It's also a bit funny realizing that she's the only one wearing a collar. Julia is wearing some kind of sparkly choker, but it's not quite the same. I do still plan on getting Liz her own collar one day, but there are more important things to deal with right now. Besides, I'd rather that moment be special.

So... it looks like my entire family ended up catching a petplay fetish from Rose. Well, I guess there's no way to know if Liz caught it, since this is how she always acts when she's horny, and I'm assuming that had something to do with everyone else in the house suddenly having the urge to strip down and crawl around everywhere. I know it's getting me hard right now, anyway.

Three dogs and a cat... What a collection. That's quite the change from never having a pet for most of my life. Hell, it's a big change from just occasionally dealing with Liz these past couple weeks. Even with Michelle trying to make my life easier, I don't know how I'm going to handle these four all at once. What am I supposed to do?
