Puppy is ill?

I took Jordan to the airport on Tuesday, and the dog had thrown up after the past three meals.  It may not be a good three days sitting while Kira is in London and Jordan is in Austin, TX.  Although I was glad he was leaving, he has been short-tempered and downright mean.  No matter what I am doing, I am bugging him.  I try to stay out of his way, but he always seems to find something negative to attack!  I am not sure what the issue is, but one thing is for sure: I feel like I am a slave and mean nothing more to him.  I wonder what the hell is nugging him!  His behavior reminds me of his mother, who was often short-tempered and self-centered!

On the first day, Lulu (the dog) threw up breakfast.  I decided to feed her pumpkin and slow meals to see if it helped.  That means the meals were less filling, and she seemed to have less energy.  I am always worried that something will go wrong when they are gone.  Lulu did hold her supper, yet she woke me to go out at 12:30 AM, 2:15 AM, and again at 4:45 AM.  I was already tired, and this made it worse.  Fortunately, Lulu only woke me on Thursday at 2:15 AM, yet I was still exhausted.

I did get out and do a few bike rides. I did 20.14 miles on Wednesday and 20.12 miles on Thursday. It was funny how I had an average heart rate of 103 on both rides—they were two different routes! However, I wonder if the heart rate monitor is accurate and if I may need a new battery, as I was under 65 BPM the first few miles, which is not the case.

I decided to take Friday (today) off.  I needed to clean up the house and wash clothes.  I did get a short break, but it was not enough!  I plan a long ride to the club, lift weights, and return tomorrow.  That is 22 miles round trip.  I still have several items on the list that Jordan wanted me to fix/look at/upgrade while I am here.

Until the next update, carry on my friends, carry on!
