Gut Reaction – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, that was a wonderful loud noise that just flew out of your mouth. Do it again!

Me: Sorry, that was a burp. Something I ate didn’t set well.

Doodlebug: We burp all the time. Here, let me show you.

Me: No need to make an effort.

Sweetie: Yeah, Doodle, you know it’s better when it comes out on its own.

MoonCat: Oh, don’t anybody hold back on my account. Better out than in, even if I have to throw a blanket over my nose.
