Live like a Labrador
Poppy’s 1.2.3. Challenge!
1. Believe each moment is fresh, new, exciting!
People you meet, are friendly and inviting.
2. Savour myriads of wafting scents…
Flowers, shrubs; grass and fence!
3. Exuberantly bound through life…
if possible, shun the strife.
4. Sublime, Ulysses butterflies float by…
6. Strive to cope with an attention span of a fly!
5. Food… fresh and flavoursome…
frequently refuel the tum!
7. Embrace happiness…
Yes, oh yes!
I see my Bestie put on her shoes…
Oh no!! Slippers mean she’s off for a snooze!
6. Don’t fret… if like a furry pet…
you sometimes forget.
37. Life’s way too fleeting for fuss and stresses
Be grateful for all that richly blesses.

Oops… NOT AGAIN!
Speed walking through doors Confusion washes over Men’s room, not Ladies’! * I’m embarrassed to confess… this has almost happened twice at the same toilets… can I claim as my excuse, extreme fatigue after hours of mind numbing Christmas shopping? My unfortunate daughter was mortified to be accompanying me!

Love all the rhyme —we have a black lab, what a character!
Very beautiful thoughts, written with grace. I love animals, and your image set me free. 😊
Aww, labs are my favorite dog. You conveyed their personalities so well.
A great collection
Lovely reminder! 🐾
This is so fun and so touching all at once! Well done!
Like Charlene, I love the lab's viewpoint. These are spirited, cheery fellows who aim to please, and you've captured the spirit well here.
I adore the humorous and perceptive approach to life lessons from the viewpoint of a Labrador; it serves as a welcome reminder to practice thankfulness, joy, and simplicity in our daily lives.
Loved this! Beautifully done!
Love this, very cleverly done with the rhyming too!
Congratulations on winning Top Story! Such a wonderful piece!
This is perfectly written. If a labrador could write, this is what he or she would tell us, and the way it skips around, flitting between ideas like an excited dog is brilliant. I love this! I want this printed on a poster!
This is awesome!! I love this mentality. What a great outlook to have. 💗
Oh wow I love this!!! It really does make you remember to cherish those small moments ❤️
So very sweet and my black lab would agree. ❤️ Loved this ❤️
Very good read! Positive and uplifting!😊💕❤️
Nice work ❤️
Love the list and especially your last line!!!💕❤️❤️
Live this … fun but also sage wisdom. 😎
Lluvvv❤️❤️🤞🏾
Well-deserved congratulations for your work—keep it up!
I love this Angie, such a beautiful philosophies in here and insightful life lessons! I love the line "strive to cope with the attention span of a fly"... both made me laugh and gave me a thought to ponder... the idea of not dwelling on things too long. Just enjoy life for what it is/ has and be present. Great work!!
Love the uplifting tone! Definitely good advice 😍
I have a Lab...yes, we should all live like that :)
Excellent advice! Also, 8. Always lick the tub 😋
