I started the morning with a brisk walk with Chloe our lab and carrying our 13 pound black and white marbled pekingese, Ringo. I had to keep switching arms from the fatigue of carrying him since he can't keep up when we walk fast and I thought it would be good exercise.
I had a good sweat going when I returned to our room. I then put together my own workout routine in the room it went like this:
Jumping Jacks
Push-Ups
Sit-Ups
Lunges
Shadow Boxing
Lifting Furniture
I did each set to exhaustion, to a point where I couldn't go on and even though we had the air conditioner set low in our room I worked up a good sweat before hitting the shower. I wanted to get the blood pumping before sitting in the car for the ride back home.
There was some more dog walking and a picnic in the park before battling the holiday traffic back to Atlanta. Believe me when I say traffic was horrible. It took over an hour longer then usual to get back home. We ran into road construction twice which literally stopped traffic.
Returning home was tough. Our house felt empty without the presence of our Bella. Most of the decisions we have made over the last seven almost eight years we have had to include her in our though process. Our living room and bed room had been arranged to accommodate her extra large pillow, when we bought a new car we had to be able to fit her in it. I know it's going to take some time, but I miss that dog.
