Trapped wind is extremely painful, especially when you don’t know what it is and it stresses you out. Until you drink something fizzy and it all finally gets released, what a great relief.
If it sounds like I am speaking from experience, trust that thought.
It don’t take much to “command” him. He’s all too accommodating.
I’ll ask him if he feels put upon.
Ehh…
Maybe not. 
I’ve always let loose and I still had to have my appendix removed. I had a girlfriend whose mom claimed she had never farted in front of her husband even once in 30 years of marriage.
So, carpet bombing SBDs behind his back? 
After about a year of dating the lady that would become my wife, I realized I’d never heard her fart. That was amazing. We had been eating tex-mex about 1/3 of the time we went out. So I asked her “Do you just hold it all in and then just blow yourself around the house like a balloon after you close the door?”
She answered “Yes”. I admonished her that holding it in like that couldn’t be healthy, and it was far less comical. Stop doing that, please. She’ll now happily rip one and joke about it. I love her.
Big Piper Mutt managed to snag half of a left over pizza tonight, off the kitchen counter. He is blissfully snoozing by the Christmas tree, and has no inhibitions about letting the half-digested pizza fumes come out his derrierre.
My god, he stinks!
Yes. Our Xmas doggy bone treats have caused gaseous anomalies that curl the hair.
A dog fart is one thing. But having owned (worked for?) many cats in my life, I can assure you that a cat fart is like getting hit in the face with a brick.
Too true. My junior cat, Kasya, is probably about 4-5 months old (based on her teeth, I’d have taken her for older going on her size) and she produces odors bigger than she is.
Our GSD when I was a kid would get up and leave the room if she had to fart. That dog had class, I tell you. Weirdly though, if she needed to burp she always wanted to do it right in your face. Some missing cultural context there, I always thought.
Then there’s the current Celt-Dog. Once Celtling fed him her broccoli under the table, right before a long car trip. There was an extreme rain storm, so all the windows were closed. Leading to the much re-quoted lament: “Mom, it’s burning my eyes!!”
I can trust the thought but not the fart. I would trust that old jingle more. Especially the “plop plop” part before getting to the “oh what a relief it is” part.
We were at my Grandmother’s place up north, for the summer. I had spent the day with a local friend, who had shared the joke, “Why do farts smell?”
Well, Grandmother had a hearing problem, though she wouldn’t admit it. Anyway, I came home one day, and asked the joke I had learned from my friend, “Why do farts smell?”
My parents and my aunt and my sister had no idea. So I proudly announced the punchline: “So deaf people can enjoy them too!”
Laughter from everybody except my Grandmother. Who, with her hearing deficiency, asked, “I beg your pardon? What? I didn’t get that,” and suchlike. Which made us only laugh harder.
Somebody explained it to her, loud enough that she could understand, and she took it in good humour. But migosh, even the most mediocre comedian couldn’t miss that her remark provided the perfect conclusion to the joke!
Hey that just reminded me : @burpo_the_wonder_mutt hasn’t posted since July. Hope he’s doing okay.
Wait, what? It is not? 
Plus ça change:
The oldest identified joke is an ancient Sumerian proverb from 1900 BC containing toilet humour: “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.” Its records were dated to the Old Babylonian period and the joke may go as far back as 2300 BC.

Whatever. Considering how this thread has made me laugh, the Old Babylonians must have been onto something
Have you had her checked for worms? The uncertainty on age makes me think she is a rescue?
Many years (before we knew better) we bought a kitten from a pet store. She could clear a room with her cute little bottom. Fecal tests didn’t sho any worms, but the vet gave us a dewormer anyway and the problem went away.
When this thread appeared on my screen I suddenly got gas. That was last night, and it’s mostly gone away now. My wife will say “did you hear that frog?”
Pretty much. Stray wandering around the complex who found her way to my household.
We’ll probably get a more definite age when she goes in for her spay on the 12th. Probably should ask about having her checked for worms at that point.
I always joke with the kids when our cat passes gas:
Now you know how your kiddy smells inside …
Oh gosh. I didn’t realize it had been so long.
