>Rainstorm >There's thunder and lightning everywhere. >Damn near tropical storm status. >Some days when it's lightly raining you like to sit by a window and read a book, maybe have some tea. >Like a gentleman. >But it's already dark out, and it's not really a pleasant downpour. >More like the clouds exploding. >So instead you're in your bed, snuggling with your beloved little fluffy buddy, Boomer. >His yellow-orange fluff stands out against your light blue sheets. >He's laying there, shaking a little bit. >He doesn't like lightning. >Strangely, the thunder, no matter how loud it is, or how badly it shakes the house, doesn't bother him a bit. >But a flash of lightning always gets a reaction out of him. >He lies there, shaking and occasionally moaning and trying to hug his tummy. >He ate a less than fresh bell pepper today, and his stomach has been aching since dinner. >Freaking Mexican grocery store produce. It's the farmer's market from now on. >Not much that can be done now but comfort him until the pain passes. >Fluffies are so small and have such low tolerance, that most pain medicine is too strong for them, even if you use only a small piece. >He once drank some of your tea you had left out, and the tiny caffiene buzz was enough to send the little guy up a wall (almost literally) for the rest of the day. >This isn't his first tummyache, so he knows from experience to tell you immediately if he feels like he's about to throw up or poop. >You've moved his poopy box next to the bed for such emergencies. >Until that happens, you hold him close and gently rub his side fluff. He purrs softly. >Lightning flash. >”Eeeee! Scawwy wight!” >Boomer startes shaking more and puts his tiny hooves over his eyes as best he can. >Ka-BOOM goes the thunder. >Not a single fluffy fuck given, but he's still upset over the lightning. >You pull him to your face and nuzzle his fur to calm him down. >He had a bath earlier, so his fluff smells pillowy fresh. >Thank God someone took the effort to make fluffy-safe cleaning products. >Boomer calms down a little and looks up at you. >”Daddy, tummy feew funny. Make mouf yukky!” >You immediately pick him up and roll over to drop him in his poopy box. >Timing is perfect, as Boomer vomits into the box. >A aesthetic mix of fluffy bile and the half-digested rice and pepper meal he ate for dinner that has made its displeasure known is now decorating his box. >Better the box than your bed. >”You feel a little better, buddy?” >Boomer doesn't respond, but instead squints his eyes and squats down. >Another flash of lightning, and Boomer yelps. The sudden scare opens the rectal floodgates. >He spews diarrhea all over the box, a veritable torrent of brown lava mixed with flecks of half-digested rice and pepper. Again. His digestive system clearly hated the meal as much as the meal hated it. >”Feew betta, Daddy. Tummy no huwt as much.” >You get up out of bed and carry Boomer to the bathroom. >You put him in the sink and wash the vomit off his face. >You then turn him around and rinse the shit still stuck to his back fluff. >If he's gonna be on your bed, he's not going to funk it up. >”Boomer cowd! Wawa not wawm.” >”I know, it's just a quick rinse. No need to use hot water for that.” >You dry him off with his little fluffy towel and carry him back to the bedroom. >You drop him on the bed and take the poopy box out to empty it. >Still raining like a motherfucker out there. >Fuck that noise. You shovel the shit and puke-stained litter into the kitchen garbage and spray some Febreeze. >You put the box back where it was next to the bed and get back on, your back to the mattress. >Boomer jumps on top of you and climbs up to your stomache. >”Boomer cwimb mowntan! Am best fwuffy cwimbew eva!” >You guys watched a show about mountain climbing earlier. He thought it was the coolest damn thing. >He has one hoof pushing into your belly button, which kinda feels funny. You'd normally make him get off, but he looks so triumphant up there. >Boomer jumps down anyway. I guess the triumphant don't like to rest on their laurels for too long. >”You sure your tummy feels better, Boomer?” >”Tummy stiww huwt a wittwe, but no mo big owies.” >More lightning. Boomer squeaks, and runs to hug you. >”Scawwy wight! Why scawwy wight? No wan!” >You put him on your chest and pet him as he lies down and listens to your heartbeat. >He's right. It's a pretty bad storm. You haven't seen a storm this bad since..... >Well, since the night Boomer was born....   (TO BE CONTINUED)
