Kristoffer's Redemption

Chapter 8

Whatever it takes!

The next morning, it was with a heavy heart that Jennifer called the grooming salon and made 2 appointments for claw blunting, fur washing and brushing (full on baths actually), and even teeth cleanings for both of her "pups". Kristoffer, didn't really need the teeth cleaning but as he had said he wanted the appointment to be the same as Shela so it would be fare she reluctantly agreed, Jennifer had come to realize that Kristoffer had another serious problem, he had a very bad habit of making commitments that he might later on regret, so Jennifer now had to make sure that Kristoffer was capable of dealing with the consequences of what he did, but the fact that the fox was going so far out of his way to help make Shela feel more comfortable showed that he had a high regard of himself as a "brother" it showed that he had a lot of love and compassion to give. And this was a quality in a male that the organization desperately needed more of. Jennifer was actually entertaining the thought of sending Kristoffer to the main office for a job interview when he graduated. But all of that aside it was time to break the news to her pups about what today held in store.

Blaze was helping Kristoffer get dressed for his appointment at the grooming salon, Kristoffer was both excited and slightly scared, but otherwise seemed to be dealing with the effects of his decision quite well, better than Jennifer had expected actually. She walked into his room and smiled at him as Blaze helped him put his onesie on and snap it up. "Blaze I'll take over with Kristoffer from here. Why don't you go and help Shela. Alright?" Blaze nodded and started to leave but then Kristoffer grabbed his paw firmly which made him turn back to Kristoffer with a quizzical look about his face. "Blaze, don't forget what we discussed about her. Okay?" "Alright Kristoffer. But only because it worked out so well last night." Kristoffer nodded and let him go and then Jennifer smiled and came up to him with a pair of bib overalls with paw print shaped clasps on the straps and snaps on the legs and crotch for easier changing's. "Kristoffer I must say, I'm very impressed with you over last night. I thought Blaze would need help washing out Shela's mouth but by the time I got down there, Shela was sitting on the counter with her paws folded in her lap with the soap in her muzzle, granted she was crying but she wasn't fighting back, and never made any threats or caused Blaze any reason to put her muzzle on her to keep the soap in her mouth. I wasn't needed at all! I'm so very proud of you!" Jennifer said as she held the overalls for Kristoffer to step into. "Thanks, sometimes you should just well try and be nice and find out if they will cooperate before you just restrain them and such. It could lead to a lot less problems." Kristoffer said as he stepped into the overalls for Jennifer who then pulled them up and began to adjust the shoulder straps. "So Kristoffer, about these appointments today. What's going to happen is Shela, and you will get your claws blunted first, then after that, they are going to clean your teeth, and check for cavities and other things like that and take care of them as needed, after that you will both be stripped down and given very thorough baths, you will both be strapped into bath chair's so you can't fight back or anything, and you both probably be muzzled just in case you guys try to bite. I'm sure you won't but it's what I want for you both, after your baths, you will have your fur brushed and trimmed and then you will be given another bath. Am I understood?" Kristoffer nodded in agreement but in a way he felt bad for Shela, granted that he had insisted on the same treatment to make things fair to her. "Umm Jennifer....can I ask you something?" Jennifer looked at Kristoffer with a knowing smile. "you want to know if I think that there's a possibility you will graduate before your birthday in December, don't you?" she said making Kristoffer sigh a bit and he shook his head in reply, this shocked Jennifer so much that her mouth fell open so Kristoffer elaborated. "Well that was one thing I was going to ask. But not quite this soon. Honestly I was going to wait until around November to ask that. Because I do plan on graduating before thanksgiving. But, what I want to ask is well, there's all this puppy play going on. The play room, the high chairs and diapers and cribs, and the upcoming naps, well its October don't know for sure but I've been looking around the neighborhood from the front window, every ones getting ready for all hallows eve, a holiday that almost all pups of all ages look forward too. But well....." Kristoffer trailed off and Jennifer smiled and kneeled down to him and looked him in the eyes holding his shoulders, "pup, Do you want to go trick or treating?" she asked making Kristoffer blush and the fact that he wagged his tail as well told her all she needed to know, "well then look I have to go talk to Blaze, can I trust you to be a good brother and go make sure Shela is ready to go?" Kristoffer nodded and hurried to his sister's room, he knocked on the door and there was a soft whimper then he heard Shela's voice on the other side.

"Come in. it's um open." She said softly and Kristoffer opened the door to see her standing there in just a t-shirt and diaper, she was having too much trouble getting her overalls on with the mitten's restricting her grip. Kristoffer smiled knowingly and walked over and held the overalls open for her to step into. She smiled a bit and then put a paw on his shoulder as she stepped into the garment and Kristoffer pulled it up and fastened the shoulder straps for her then he when to her hips and made sure all the appropriate buttons were all secured and such and when he was satisfied he then gently guided her tail threw the small elastic hole in the back of the overalls. "Thanks Kris. You are really going out of your way to show me you're a good fur." Kristoffer smiled and looked around making sure they were indeed alone and then he licked Shela's muzzle innocently and smiled. "I'll do whatever it takes." Shela smiled and hugged him tightly then she looked at him and with a sad expression. "I'm really scared of today. I don't know what's going to happen." Kristoffer smiled and sat down in the rocking chair and patted his lap, Shela giggled and sat down in his lap and he hugged her close and pet her head a little bit. "Jennifer said that we are going to the salon, when we get there we will have our claws blunted first, after that we will get baths, teeth cleanings, fur brushings then a trimming and then another bath. That's pretty much what she told me any way." Shela nodded and hugged Kristoffer close as Jennifer came into the room and smiled at the scene before her. "My, my, my, aren't we quite the tame wolf?" she said making Shela, blush and Kristoffer, chuckled a bit. "is it time to go?" he asked helping Shela to her feet then Jennifer nodded and picked up both of their diaper bags and led them to the white SUV with the HB logo on it, she opened the door and inside was two car seats, Blaze helped Kristoffer into his while Jennifer helped Shela into her. Then the duo got into the front and they were off.

"now look, Shela, Kristoffer wants to go trick or treating, and I'm willing to take him around the neighborhood as this spot is set aside specifically for our cause. So I want to know, do you feel up to trick or treating in a few nights too?" Jennifer asked looking at the wolf in the rear view mirror, Shela was quite for a minute then she blushed and nodded in affirmative. "Yes please, umm I just don't want to wear a dress or anything for it. I've never really liked dresses they are too constricting." "Well of course they are, everyone knows that wolf's bodies are built strong to last long. Your frames are too big to wear dresses. Maybe a skirt and loose blouse but that would be all." Blaze chimed in as though he spoke from experience. "So then that leaves the question of what do you guys want to dress up as?" Kristoffer had thought about it for a bit before he came to the conclusion he wanted to be a Celtic arctic fox, he was sure that he could pass some of his marks as Celtic knots, and you could find play swords at almost any store this time of year. "I want to be a Celtic fox!" Kristoffer reported happily and Shela laughed a bit and then settled down and thought about it but couldn't make up her mind. "I don't know yet. Ummm maybe an umm Amazonian warrior?" Jennifer and blaze both shared a heartfelt laugh at the suggestions. But then something occurred to Jennifer that had not before she looked at Shela and Kristoffer in the back seat and her suspicions were confirmed. "We are there." She announced with a business tone in her voice and left blaze to deal with the pup while she made a phone call.

"Yes hello Jennifer smoke here. I would like to make a report." She said into her phone then she was put on hold for a few moments when it came back it was a smooth female voice on the other end this time "yes Jennifer. How are the pups?" she asked making Jennifer smile. "They are good. In fact I wanted to make a progress report. Kristoffer has begun to trust me and blaze and is already making leaps and bounds to bond with Shela, Shela had ruff and tuff start but thanks to Kristoffer things are going smoothly, I think she's starting to trust others again as well." Jennifer paused as there was a happy little laugh at the other end. "Ahh that is so wonderful well done. Is Kristoffer keeping up with his diary?" "Yes he writes in it religiously if you know what I mean." "Aww that's perfect. And how is Shela taking to her nightly chore?" "Not as good as Kristoffer. She can't seem to bring herself to say it the agreed amount of times. She keep's choking up on the last 5. And eventually by the time she gets to seven she breaks down and can't carry on. I'm starting to worry about it actually." Jennifer admitted and there was a pause until the other end picked up again. "Have you thought about....making Kristoffer do it himself in front of her?" "Why would I put Kristoffer through something like that?" "Kristoffer as you know has self-mutilation problems too. I've heard reports that sometimes he still wants to do it but restrains himself. If he has already cured himself of it, then doing the punishment should be easy for him. If he can do it easily it may give Shela a slight rival look to him. It may make her strive to do it as easily as he can, which reminds me, have you started his other chore yet?" she asked carefully. "NO." Jennifer said firmly. "I told you, I would only do that to him if he showed he needed it. And so far he has not needed it. So until then I will not put him through that." There was a pause and then the other female sighed and spoke again. "Alright then Jennifer. I leave these pups in your capable paws. Let me know if anything comes up." "Will do" the line went dead. So Jennifer went into the salon in time to see Kristoffer and Shela being led back to the chairs and sighed a little bit knowing what would ensue

Kristoffer and Shela were led to the back of the room and were asked to sit on some black chairs with harnesses on them. Kristoffer did as he was asked without question. Shela on the other paw was hesitant, but with some gentle coxing from Kristoffer she was soon strapped into the chair as well. Soon Jennifer fame over and produced two black cloth muzzles from her back pocket and sighed sadly as she applied them to Kristoffer and Shela after this was don the salon staff came back with some trays with metal files and clippers. Kristoffer then whined seeing them soon realizing that when his friends had blunted his claws they had done it in a very well painless manor, but the salon was not permitted to use such methods as they had to go by the book. "Alright so just hold still and it will all be over soon. We promise." A slender Siberian tigress told them and then picked up one of the files and began on Sonia first... the method in which the blunting happened was by using a file that files the claw in the opposite direction of the claws natural "grain" for Shela this meant that they would file from the left. And would push the file to the right to round and blunt the claw. Shela whimpered and whined loudly as they did this, she even struggled in her chair. Eventually white lioness came over to do Kristoffer's, they had to file his claws on the left and push them to the right. When they started Kristoffer yelped and soon enough just like Shela he was struggling and whining just as much as the wolf next to him. When they was finally finished they brought out a buffer file and filled them down more rounding the claws and buffing them to be smooth again. When they was done Jennifer came over and removed the muzzles and gave both of her cubs a hug and helped them calm down and stop crying from their experience. When that was over the tigress and lioness came back with some toothbrushes and some proper toothpaste for them as well. It was at this point that they began to brush their teeth for them this time, the experience was a pleasant one and they even took the time to fill in the cavities, once this was over they were let out of the chairs and lead to the back room forcing Jennifer and blaze to sit in the waiting room until the rest of the procedure was finished. Kristoffer and Shela were both led to the back and were helped with their clothes and then asked to lay out on a very soft mat which they did happily.

"You know, aside from the blunting, this isn't all that bad. Kind of feels nice actually" Shela said as the tigress removed her diaper to brush her thoroughly. "Yea. I had my claws blunted before but it wasn't anything like that that was.....torture! But this...this is nice." Kristoffer said with a smile as he rolled over onto his back a bit. The brushes were brought out and the two melted and murred in unison, they were really enjoying it, after a little while Jennifer was allowed to come back to check on the two pups and couldn't help but giggle at the scene, Kristoffer was laying over the lioness's lap getting his back brushed and Shela was propped against the tigress's chest getting her belly rubbed as the tigress expertly brushed the knots out of her tail. By the time the brushing was finished the two of them were declaring that they was in heaven. After a few minutes of rest it was back to work though. The lioness and tigress came back and led the two pups to the bath area and helped them into the baths where they were strapped into chairs. They weren't too happy but Jennifer explained that it was just a precaution to which the two nodded and relaxed. the Lioness began by spraying Shela down while the tigress poured a bucket of warm water over Kristoffer to help get him wet after they were wet, the salon staff began to massage the shampoo into their bodies getting a rich lather all over them, once that was achieved they then sprayed them both down and began to work in the condition, they worked that in for a few minutes and then after a bit they sprayed them down again. When the bath was over the tubs were drained and the two were led to another room, the salon staff then closed them into the room. Kristoffer and Shela got nervous but then Shela jumped as a warm air brushed against her back and then Kristoffer jumped a bit as well as the same thing happened soon they realized it was a drying room and soon they enjoyed the realizing warm air that was drying them off, once that was done Kristoffer and Shela was led back to the brushing room and were again brushed. "why did I never come here before?" Shela wondered out loud, making Kristoffer laugh, "he Shela, how often do you think Jennifer comes here for this kind of stuff?" the two of them shared a hearty laugh at Jennifer's expense, after the brushing they were about to put their diapers back on when the tigress and lioness came back in and took the diapers from them. "look we know your supposed to use these but, you guys have been so good since your blunting, even acted like you enjoyed the pulling and tugging in your fur as we brushed you both. " the lioness explained. "So we want to let you have just a little bit of freedom. So please follow us" the tigress stated and lead the two of them to a back room that said employee's only, once inside they pointed to the bathrooms. "You may both use the bathroom real quick. But you have to be fast." The tigress told them. Kristoffer and Shela looked at each other then back at lioness and tigress they thought about it a bit and then sighed. "We'd love too, but we can't." Shela said. "Yea if we did we'd have to lie to Jennifer about it. And well.....that's just not something we want to do." "We would rather follow the rules." Shela finished for Kristoffer. The tigress and lioness smiled and nodded and led the two back to the brushing room where they was re-diapered and then the two left and came back with some clippers and other trimming supplies, they made quick work of trimming the thick fur and then brushing it again. Once they was done they removed the diapers again and then gave them another bath. The bath was a bit longer as this time it was more for pleasure than out of need, so the lioness and tigress threw some pink fluid into the water and then started the jets and soon enough the "pups" found out they was getting another treat for being so good clients, a bubble bath. The staff repeated the same procedure as last time and in no time they were put back in the drying room and blew dry again. When it was all done. They were led back to the brushing room and given a final brushing, once that was done they were re-diapered, re-dressed, and then led out to the public room again where Jennifer and Blaze was talking with another fur that Kristoffer didn't recognize. She had the build of a husky but looked like a skunk. So it was evident she was a hybrid, the "skushky" whom they were talking to had a fox about Kristoffer's age with her, the fox was sucking on a pacifier and a hold my hand leash was around his wrist. Kristoffer then noticed the slight bulge but didn't bring it up. Instead he and Shela walked over to Jennifer and Blaze and hugged them. "My, my, my, here's my pups now. Ha-ha. Ohh you two are so cute now. Well you was cute before but well you know what I mean!" Jennifer said hugging them. The other wolf smiled and looked at Jennifer. "Well are you going to introduce me or not? Jenny?" the wolf said and Jennifer smiled. "Ohh yes. Kristoffer, Shela this is Azzune Swiftpaw. She was my caretaker when I was being helped. And this is her newest charge, his name is Zen and he is a swift fox." Zen say hi to them. They are just like you." Zen looked past Shela and looked Kristoffer in his eyes and took his pacifier out and walked up to him. "It's nice to see another fox for a change." "Yea I bet. So how are you holding up?" "There's a fear in me it's not showing, but its there." Was all Zen said before he put his pacifier back in his mouth and walked back to the skushky. "Well we need to go and get these two down for a nap." Jennifer said shaking Azzune's paw and giving her a hug. "It was good to see you again." "Yes dear you too, if you are ever up for a sleep over. Let me know. I don't mind taking care of two more little ones." "Thanks. We'll be seeing you" and with that, Jennifer and Blaze led Kristoffer and Shela to the van and drove them home
