Avila BOOF!

Saturday morning, we woke up to nothing to do in Clovis, so we decided to pack things up and head to Avila Beach with FauxGpa.  (I mean FauxMama had several options, but I wasn't invited to any of the options, and she really wanted to spend the holiday with me!) It was a very spontaneous decision, and we (and by we I mean FauxMama) may have left several things at FauxMama's house...My Blueblood collar (which by the way, I am the model on their home page right now!!), my prong collar, my Nutro Lamb and Rice, and Frisbee!! Luckily FauxGma had an extra Blueblood collar, Farm Supply in San Luis Obispo had my Nutro Lamb and Rice, I found a new toy on the beach, and I was pretty well behaved!!

It was kinda a long drive to Avila Beach,okay not that long, but I was eager to get there!! I was a little worried there wasn't going to be a lot for me to do in Avila, but boy was I wrong!! The minute I got out of the car, I saw a worthy opponent for good game of RUN KITTY RUN!! GAME ON! Once again, I LET the Kitty win!! Yay Right! Why are they so quick!!! FauxMama was bit surprised that I was so quick to play RUN KITTY RUN, after an incident earlier in the day in Hanford...I found a Kitty that was NOT interested in RUN KITTY RUN, so I cornered her, hoping that getting her in an arena would convince her to play, yeah she didn't really like that either...we had a bit spat, I yelled, she growled, I yelled some more, and then she told me with the swat of her paw, "You shut your mouth when you are talking to me!!"  (A classic quote from the movie Wedding Crashers). Despite some stinging and discomfort, I was not going to let a little scratch hold me back! Apparently there are KITTIES EVERYWHERE to play RUN KITTY RUN with!!!

While checking the house out, I noticed this really bizarre thing. I tried to check it out, but it was SUPER scary.  I mean is it a woman? Nope, no breasts, and its pretty ugly.  Is it a fish? It has a tail, but I've never seen a fish with arms, and a ponytail! FauxMama tried to explain that it is a chachkie.  And although incredibly strange, absolutely harmless!! I didn't really believe her, so FauxMama offered this chachkie fellow a relocation package and it split town! Thank goodness because it was NOT welcome and I let it know!!


After not settling into the Avila house, we went down to this park to play a little Frisbee!! Clovis needs to take some notes. First, this park in their backyard! I can't go there by myself, but we just walked under the house and there we were...beautiful grass, lots trees, tons of bushes...ALL green!! It was heaven!! Clovis are you taking notes?? Actually SF Park and Rec are YOU taking notes?? Portland you may as well get in on this schooling as well!!

After a long day of travel, chachkies, and frisbee, we finally hit the hay...

Macy and I weren't really sure where FauxMama was going to sleep, there wasn't really room for all three of us.  And the bed was so comfy, Macy and I we were NOT moving!

There was talk of Beach time the next day, we needed to rest up! I LOVE beach time!!!

AM: I ate all kibble AND my Dasuquin.
PM: I ate all my kibble. Macy is still on a restricted diet! This girl has to learn!!
Sore: I don't know!

Constant Earthquakes and Doghouse!!

Friday we were back in Hanford!

We cruised down Mosley style as always!! We had to be there super early, because FauxMama was meeting Jon Casey Construction at the house at 8am! They were going to rip out this tile in FauxGma and FauxGpa's entry way. About the time that they started them demo, an earthquake started!! It was super mild, but it was really loud.  Louder than any earthquake I remember...and I live in San Francisco, so I have lived through a few!  I suggested to FauxMama that we get in a safe spot...but she didn't really seemed that concerned. Maybe it wasn't an earthquake. Maybe it was Jon Casey Construction jack hammering out the tile! Woof, I will protect her!


She is really growing on me! But don't tell her!

Anyways, FauxMama was trying to get schooled in Photoshop, so that she could help me make my blog better! She was finding it difficult to listen to her instructor Mr. B.G. Bottles and focus on the class with the rattling floor and the intense noise, so we moved to the safest, quietest space in the house! FauxGma's closet!! And it has brand new hardwood floors! I actually think that I am the first dog to lay on them! They are really nice.  I protected FauxMama while she continued her lessons.

After several hours of earthquakes in Hanford, we headed back to Clovis. FauxMama had some friends coming into town for the 4th of July weekend and she was meeting up with them at some joint called Dog House Grill. This sounds like a place that I should be going to!! And like a place I would love!!! Apparently they have great Tri-Tip sandwiches and Fries...Wait, so why was I not invited???  Oh well, I was pretty beat from a big week in a new town so I laid low! Next trip to Dog House Grill, and I am THERE! Yummy Tri-Tip!
AM: I ate all kibble AND my Dasuquin.
PM: I ate all my kibble. Macy is on restricted diet!
Sore: It looks the same!

Game Night!

On Thursday Night (July 1st, 2010) my new BFF Gracie came over for Game Night!! I BOOF Game Night! As I mentioned in 2010 World Pup, Gracie has been a bit unsure of me and my smart mouth.  But she is getting used to me and we are having a ton of fun together!! I have even taught her to use her BOOF!! And she is still trying to teach me to Spider Monkey but I'm a little unsure of it! Check out the pics and movies from our Game Night!                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

GAME ON!

I think I have talked about this in the past (Mr. Mosley Goes to Clovis) Macy is NOT a big gamer! But with all her friends playing she decided she wanted in on the action.  Not she is playing with a Chewy Vuitton, what a girl!! 

Check out the film of our play!




Ugh!! That is tough work!! I'm beat!!

No I'm NOT!! WoooHooo!  ROUND 2!! P.S. Macy is the WORST referee!! Check it out!





After AT LEAST two hours of play we needed to take a break!! I decided to take a little break on FauxMama's white Crate and Barrel sofa.  Luckily, it's slip covered! I thought it would be nice to hang out and watch 27 Dresses!! Gracie had a little canoodling in mind...

Stuck between a Kitty and a Sleepy Place

I am really EXHAUSTED today.  I was soooo tired I didn't even wake up FauxMama for my breakfast at 6am, like I have done the rest of the week.  How do these professional swimmers/divers do it??   Ugh.  I even took a nap after breakfast while FauxMama was getting ready for our trip to Hanford.  I didn't even have the energy to ride Mosley Style with my head out the window!!  I am not sure I have it in me today for Swim/Dive practice, let alone RUN KITTY RUN!!

I was wrong!! I DO have energy for RUN KITTY RUN!! Unfortunately for me, and fortunately for the Kitties, I couldn't find anyone to play RUN KITTY RUN! UGH. So FauxMama and I played ball instead, while we waited for one of contractors to show up. There was a bit of a discrepancy over the ball I was playing with today....Twinkie, didn't like me playing with HER tennis ball.  First of all, she's can barely hold it, and her running with it look extremely difficult...that being said, she STOLE it several times.  The theft was accompanied by an assault,  I know what your thinking, what could that little pint sized stickless mop do to me...and your right. However she CAN make a very shrilling of a bark, and nip at my ankles!! I gave her a polite little warning, BACK OFF.  And then she did it again. First the THEFT, then the assault, but this time it escalated a bit, Twink would not BACK OFF, so I had to get a little verbal with her, until FauxGma called her off.  I was a perfect gentlemen, she just told her she needs to steer clear of MY ball!! BOOF!

We had a quite a few visitors today, the contractor, the painter, the flooring peeps, the UPS man.  I am not really a big fan of these people coming and going as they please. They need to check in with me!! I told them. Boof!  I especially don't like them getting too close to FauxMama! Boof! Boof!!

While I dictated the beginning of my day to FauxMama,  my GMumP instant messaged us to see how life was treating us!! Although excited to hear from GMumP in the UK, I was still so exhausted from Olympic training, I could barely move.  So FauxMama read to me what GMumP was saying! She said that she is very excited to see my Mama and my Papa in two weeks. She also said she is taking my cousins to Legoland Windsor, I think that sounds like a ton of fun. I think if I went to Legoland Windsor, I would mark everything MINE, then I would own Legoland.  And my cousins could go whenever they wanted!!   I have never met my cousins but they seem like a REALLY GOOD TIME!! I hope that GMumP will bring them to visit us after we move to Portland. 

I really didn't move from the position shown for most of the day.  I did for a bit help FauxGpa assess the side of the Hanford house where there appears to be some moisture getting into the foundation, which could compromise the new hardwood floors.  I marked it mine, to help out! In between helping, I was busy looking for a worthy opponent for RUN KITTY RUN! But I couldn't find one. Where have all the kitties gone? Why don't they want to play?

After our long day we came home to Clovis, and had Gracie and Elizabeth Swann over for dinner and play.  Gracie and I get along fabulously now! We play tug-o-war with my Frisbee, tackle, and occasionally a mean game of chase.  I really like her, I have taught her to speak up about what she wants and she has taught me that it is okay to play with big dogs!!! That if we all play fair it can be a ton of fun!! I really wish I could taker her swimming at FauxGma and FauxGpa's house in Hanford!! It would be soo much fun!!!

I'm pretty beat!! I have to get to bed now!

AM: I ate all kibble AND my Dasuquin..
PM: I ate all my kibble. Macy did not, she ate too many apples off the ground in Hanford, her tummy hurts! AGAIN!
Stool: Still loose.
Sore: Well despite the thought that the lower wound had gotten worse today it looks AMAZING!! It is WAY smaller and scabbed up nicely.  FauxMama and I did NOT see that one coming! SEE swimming is GOOD for me!!! FauxMama put another call into Dr. Moran, just to confirm. And when Dr. Moran called back he said I can't swim anymore! BOOOOOO!!!! See Mosely Kilshaw's Olympic Aquatic Career put on Hold!

2010 World Pup MOS vs GRC

I had a bit of a rough night last night. I got a little sick on FauxMama's carpet.  I felt so bad, I tried to clean it up, but I didn't know where the Resolve was so I didn't so a very good job.  FauxMama helped me out with the Resolve. Its all clean now.

We went to "park" if you can call it that for a bit (read Where are the Dog Parks in Clovis?) and then went to get me some new food!! Yum!! Yum!! I love my Nutro Lamb and Rice !!!

Then my day brightened up!!! I met Gracie, a 3 year old black lab.  Our relationship got of on the wrong paw, I was a little aggressive for her taste. I didn't actually hurt her, I was just a little vocal in telling her that I wanted to play!! Once she realized that I had a big bark, and no bite, it was GAME ON!!!

FauxMama, Macy, and Elizabeth Swann (Gracie's Mama) all cheered us on from the sidelines while watching the World Cup! I must say I have found myself a worthy adversary. That girl is quick on her feet, and does this "spider monkey" move where she runs through the house and then uses a sofa as a back stop to stop her momentum.  I'm not really comfortable with her doing that, as I'm not allow on the furniture at my house.  But I do like that she bounces back into action!!! It was a fun afternoon!!



When we got home FauxMama had some chores to do, apparently in Clovis you have mow the lawn. I don't really get it, I thought the parks department took care of that....Anyway I decided to help her. And by help I mean claiming the bushes in her yard and her neighbor's yard, mine!  Then I found one of my favorite new games in the bushes!! RUN KITTY RUN!!! I chased that cat ALL the way home!! Boof!

(Note from FauxMama: Although this seems unsafe, for both Mosley and for the Kitty, I promise you it was safe!!! And I have to admit that I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE of the chase. That cat uses MY house for his litter box all the time!! Kitty there's a new Sheriff in town! MOSLEY!)

After the game of RUN KITTY RUN, we went to the "park" in FauxMama's neighborhood for a little game of Frisbee.  Again Clovis' definition of a park is weak! It was itty bitty! But I still got in a several great Frisbee catches!! It was again SILLY hot in Clovis today, so I am now chilling in the air conditioned house, resting after another big day in the sticks!

I wonder what tomorrow will bring? I think we are going to Hanford again!!!


AM: I ate all kibble but not my Dasuquin.
PM: I ate all my kibble and my Dasuquin.
Stool: Still LOOSE.
Sore: Appears to be smaller. The two little ones still appear to be almost gone. And the scab on the larger one is much smaller, although there is still a bit of inflammation.

Where are the Dog Parks in Clovis?

Today FauxMama, Macy, and I went to this park looking thing...You be the judge!! 
I don't really think it looks like a park.  There is always strange stuff in the SF parks, but never tires and piles of wood. Despite the unconventionality,  I did enjoy smelling everything!  And in this picture on the right I look like a real hunting lab!! Come on Fresno and Clovis get some better Dog Parks!!

Note from FauxMama: I will agree that we need MORE dog parks.  But I was smelling some foul smells in the car and decided it was better for my car if we stop to let the offender take care of business, so we stopped at the first available field.  I am not sure who was to blame, because both dogs had some pretty loose business!! And my car was saved!!

Mr. Mosley Goes to Clovis

Well my family is off to Turkey and I am off to Clovis! Today my Mama and my Papa loaded up all of my prize possessions, my Frisbee, my Blueblood bed, my food, and my medications, into my Mama's friend's car.  I will refer to her as FauxMama for the next few weeks as she will be caring for me! I have known FauxMama for several years, and for the most part I like her.  She doesn't let me get away with things, so she's not that much fun, but otherwise she talks to me, loves on me, and plays with me, so I guess she is okay! She also has Macy, a friend of mine. A little black pug, Macy isn't really that much fun either because she doesn't really play but she is a nice companion and she will have my back in a brawl!

The car ride was a little long to Clovis,  and Macy stole my bed in the backseat.  I was a little unsure about our adventure and couldn't really get comfortable. I tried the backseat for awhile and then thought the front seat may be better.  Let's just say BMW 323's are not made for 80lb labs!

Plus I have this sore on my leg, and it itches, so I want to lick it!! But this silly BiteNot collar kept getting in my way!

We finally arrived in Clovis, at FauxMama's house!!! And her house was HOT!! Do you know how hot it gets in Clovis in the summer?? HOLY Frisbees it was HOT!! It was 100 degrees!! Thank goodness for air conditioners!! While the house was cooling down I inspected the place I will call home for the next few weeks! I have been here before, but I am not sure what type of changes have taken place since I was last here. It appears that there are some new bushes in the backyard.  I marked them, MINE!

After dinner we retired for the evening. As you can tell Macy and I were beat!! I am not really sure where FauxMama thought she was sleeping but, clearly it wasn't with us!! So far I like Clovis!!
