Sometimes you wake up in the morning and your hot water heater is leaking or perhaps, it’s a sink overflowing. Maybe there are pipes in the walls making odd noises because something got flushed that shouldn’t have. Or perhaps one of your greyhounds has a case of rumbly tummy.
This isn’t Phoebe’s first case of the internal growls, but we think we’ve isolated the cause: canned K/D. Daphne has to eat K/D (that’s kidney diet, by the way) and Phoebe eats it as well. Usually they get kibble, and I mix vegetables in with it. Occasionally I get some canned K/D, which they enjoy, but now, finally, putting two and two together (or is that K and D) we realize that the rumbling noises are probably caused by the K/D, so back to veggies.
Today, though, they enjoyed that upset canine tummy treat: yogurt. After a couple small dishes of yoghurt over the course of the day, all hounds, I’m happy to report, are sleeping well and trying to figure out what they can eat to bring back the rumbles and thus the delicious yogurt.
