Sarge let out a sigh of relief as he managed to button up his jeans. This was the fifth time in the past few months he had to get a new pair of pants. Unlike the last few, however, Rus had specifically gotten him highly stretchable pants. "Jeggings" are what Rus called them, but Sarge didn't quite know what those were.

Sighing yet again, Sarge lifted a hand to his chest. He didn't realize how much he had gained recently, but with a simple hefting of his pec, he started to piece it together. "I feels me actually gettings fatter." Sarge was unsure of what to make of this situation. He knew he had always been fat before, but gaining all that weight back so quickly? It was hard to say how he felt about it.

Rus came in from the other room. Wearing an apron over his round belly, he smirked. "Of course, Hun! The doctor said you were gonna put on a lot of weight." Rus placed a hand on his hip and lifted the other to pat Sarge's shoulder. "Not only do you need to fully recover to regain your intelligence... if you regain your intelligence... but you're basically eating for five now!"

"Five?" Sarge asked, looking down at his belly. He didn't realize he was eating five meals in one sitting... is that why he'd been fattening up so much? "So, why's we eating in all the times?"

"That way we can control what you eat. Doc gave me a list of stuff you need to eat and I'm making sure to feed you!" Rus's eyes lit up as he lowered his hand to Sarge's belly and gave it a rub. "Besides, it's keeping you and your buns safe! And it's helping you grow, big guy!"

Bending over, Rus gently kissed the top of Sarge's belly before looking back up, a smile now brimming on his face. Sarge didn't fully know what Rus was referring to with the "buns" again. He knew there was something to it that he wasn't getting, but his brain wasn't making any connections. Smiling in return, he started to wag his tail. "Does this means I gets more belly rubs?"

"Whatever you need, Hun! You've got quite a load you've gotta carry... literally!"

Part 4! Hopefully it's obvious what's happening to the woof now. He's still a bit confused, though. Why does Rus keep alluding to "buns"?
