Organic Yogurt and Himalayan Rice

Kuyper woke me last night with throaty soft yelps. At first, I thought he was dreaming of his time being boarded and spoke to him firmly, almost strictly, to settle down and realize he was at home. It happened again, some time later. The yelps were more urgent, this time. I roused and asked him if he needed to go outside. "Woof!" Affirmative.

We went-- I woke up this morning fully clothed, so apparently I was decent. The poor guy had diarrhea from being boarded. With any luck, he just ate someone else's food and it isn't a stomach bug.

I learned from my vet in Jackson that the way to treat diarrhea is with white rice and yogurt. But neither sweet Todd nor I wanted to grocery early this morning-- and I eat yogurt every day for breakfast. I acquired a bag of Basmati rice from Gourmet Garage in the West Village upon marriage. I don't eat white rice, generally, so it has been in the freezer, waiting for its moment to shine.

Which is now! Kuyper appears subdued but seems to be feeling somewhat better. We can blow the candles out now.

Have a good day, ya'll!
