âHey baby, Iâm home..â You step into your apartment with bags full of ingredients to make carbonara. Your puppy boyfriend had requested carbonara for dinner today and you complied despite knowing how much his belly hated lactose.
âHey babe!â He jumps off the couch with excitement to come and greet you with a kiss on the cheek. âI finished my coloring page today, wanna see?â
âSure, doll. Let me set these bags down first..â You smile and kiss him back. He offers to help unload everything, but you tell him to go wash up before dinner. He takes a shower while you cook, blissfully unaware of the troubles that were to follow.
âWant another serving? Thereâs plenty more where that came from..â You take his empty plate back to the kitchen to fill it back up for the second time. âThereâs more garlic cheese bread if you want..â
âIâm feeling pretty full.. but if youâre offering..â He blushes, watching you take away his plate. âThis is delicious, thank you so much for cooking tonight..â
âOf course my love. Anything for my puppy..â
It didnât take long before you heard his stomach start to gurgle from the other side of the couch. Three full plates of carbonara on top of eating cheesy bread and chugging soda made his stomach into a war zone.
âSomething wrong?â You ask, already scooting closer to him. He didnât bother hiding this from you and his face was already giving him away.
He had one hand on his stomach. âMy tummy is starting to hurt..â He puts his head on your shoulder and leans in. âI donât feel good..â He starts to whine.
âAw my poor baby.. câmere..â You gently lift up his shirt and make him lay down, his bare belly now exposed and ready for rubs. âShhh shh.. tell me where it hurts..â
âAll up here..â He scrunches up his face and rubs the top of his stomach. âI ate way too much..â
âYou were quite the hungry puppy.. itâll be okay..â You press your hands into his bloated gut as it starts to churn angrily.
All the heavy food was having a hard time digesting and gas began to build inside, rounding out his aching gut. He squirmed softly as you rubbed circles all over his upset tummy.
âUuurrrppp..â He belched and turned away. Your hands pressing that trapped gas out of him. âOhhhhh.. that felt good..â
âGood job, puppy..â You kept rubbing his belly but soon noticed a shift in the air. The belches soon became more wet and sickly.
âBbllluuuurrpp.. nnnghââ He sat up, one hand over his mouth. He closed his eyes and gagged again, and you were already reaching for the trashcan.
âShh shh.. I got you.. â You put the trash can in front of him and start to rub his back. He did his best to hold it in until another sickly gurgle ripped through him.
âHhhhurkk!â He retched harshly into the bin, his stomach muscles tensing up. âNnngh.. my tummy hurts so much.. help.. please.. I need you..â He whimpered between gags.
While he puked, you sat behind him to soothe his queasy tummy with one hand and hold his hair back with the other.
âJust let it out, darling.. Iâm right here..â You whisper into his ear. You wiped his mouth with a wet towel and held him steady for another round of puking.
âTh.. thank you..â He leaned back into you, closing his eyes while waiting for his belly to start up again.
It was going to be long night for the both of you.
