Last night Beau ate a disposable rubber gloves, the whole thing. I've been watching him and he seems ok so far. Is this something I should be worried about?

I would only worry if you see symptoms of a possible obstruction, which includes: excessive vomiting, lack of appetite, lethargy and few feces. If seen then its best to take him to your vet for a proper exam and testing to determine if the gloves are still inside. Hopefuly he continues to do well as it seems he has done so far. Best wishes and take care!
