OTTERPANTS
Leroy the otter decided to treat himself to a new pair of trousers after his solid Q4.
He had grown tired of the plainness of the khakis he wore day after day.
He needed something far less vanilla to express his uniqueness as an otter and to remind his clients that he is consistently at or near the top 25% of the sales leaderboard in the tri-states area.
The vendor of choice was a no-brainer: The Pantsionado was the finest pants artisan known to otter.
He took his craft seriously, and it showed. Some say too seriously.
The Pantsionado was not known as the type of otter you would leave your pups with, but he makes great pants, so no one complained about his weasliness.
The first handful that Leroy tried on were hit or miss. Mostly miss. They were beautifully crafted and all, but just too… plain.
Frustrated and bordering on desperate, The Pantsionado huffed and disappeared into the back room, eventually reappearing with a pair of shiny, almost translucent, brown pants.
Leroy was stunned at their magnificence.
He had never sported a pair of trousers that left him feeling so dry and so warm.
It coated his bubbly rump, insulating his chubby lower body from the dressing room elements.
The pants felt so… smooth, so… semi-aquatic.
And that shine! They glistened as if freshly sheathed from a newborn whelp.
They had a peculiar smell, too. A semi-sweet, almost fleshy odor.
The fabric reminded Leroy of the soft, insulated underfur that coated his own pup.
“What’s the secret? What material is this?,” Leroy asked.
It was then that the romp showed up.
