The Word Of The Day - Borborygmi

You would not believe the sounds that can come out of that tummy

Yep.  It's 4:00 am here, and I'm up out of bed.  So you know it's Moose related.

He's a good boy, but part of being an aging studmuffin is tummy issues.  Specifically, tummy rumblings that can be heard from the next zip code.  (That would be the borborygmi.  I just love that word - it's so onomatopoetic.) And when your stomach sounds like a garbage grinder, it's hard to sleep - and if you're Moose, if you're not sleeping, ain't nobody sleeping. 

He'll start with a low, soft whine, then if that doesn't get a response, he moves to more offensive weapons (for example, the vulturing - climbing up on top of my head, so that I can *feel* the rumbles, not just hear them.)

So, in an attempt to give Roger a break and let him get his last hour of sleep, I've moved out to the living room with the boy and a bag of treats - generally, if I can get a few treats into him, the stomach settles down, and we all can go back to bed.  We'll see...
