Living Life to the Fullest

Photographically speaking, this week has been a pretty boring week so far. In fact, for the past 10 days it has more or less been quite nominal, photographically speaking, which explained partially the lack of frequent updates here. Thank God my photo-a-day project did not suffer, especially when I have a perfect muse such as my dog Whisky. How can I ever run out of photos everyday?

Whisky and Houneken

She is eyeing my every move even as she is playing with her favorite toy!

I learnt something from Whisky today (actually, she taught me new things every day. One of these days I'm going to write a book of lessons taught by her!) - having a healthy curiosity about the world we live in. She is everywhere in our lives, nosing her way constantly around, probing, testing, and exploring her environment.

Whisky wants to be in every shot. Apparently she didn't feel she is spoiling the photo!

Even when she got scolded for doing things she wasn't supposed to, that didn't stop her from trying again. Her thirst for new experiences in life knows no bounds! When it comes to play, she is on all fours!

She looks cute even when she was being reprimanded!

By actively seeking to find out about the world around us, learning new things, getting new experiences, enjoying and playing to the fullest, we can avoid getting bored with doing the same things day in day out!

Whisky really seeks to live life to the fullest every single day. She greets each new day with a zest and enthusiasm as if she is starting the first day of her life. Every time she knows she is going out, she leaps for joy as if she is going out for the first time. Every experience is a new one for her, and she never gets tired of life.

Perhaps there is a lesson in there somewhere for those of us who are weary and heavy laden with the burdens of life!
