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!

Mosley Kilshaw's Olympic Aquatic Career Put on Hold
Dr. Moran just phone FauxMama, and he said that they haven't been able to determine the origin nor the strain of the infection in my leg, but is confident we are headed in the right direction. He said we will continue with all medications and re-asses thing in one week. Great news!! But he did mention that I will need to put on hold on my Olympic aspirations until this is cleared up!! Boo! I am not happy!!!
Newest Member of the Olympic Diving Team....MOSLEY
Well we started our day with another fun car ride to Hanford!! Mosley Style!! Sunroof open windows down! Apparently FauxMama's window regulator went out on Betsey Beamer, so we didn't really have a choice that the window was down. It was my window so I didn't really care!!! Once in Hanford we had to immediately go down to the car repair place to have the window fixed, that's cool!! The guys at J & T Motors were super cool. Apparently one guys used to be a bird dog trainer. He said a few weeks with him, and it would no longer be a game of RUN KITTY RUN! It would be SORRY KITTY SORRY!
FauxMama decided after lunch that we would take a little "walk" around FauxGma's yard. Its kinda like being in a park!! BUT WAY BETTER!! We played some Frisbee, and then I show some real potential in the pool! I know I wasn't supposed to go in... because of my leg. But it was SUPER HOT in Hanford, 103 degrees!! So I HAD to go in!! I had to make sure Frisbee didn't over heat!!
First Frisbee and I just hung out on the first step...But I kept dropping Frisbee on the second step...and in my attempts to get it, I pushed it onto the third step. Which is much too deep for me to stand on, let alone put my head under water to get Frisbee. Although I did try!!
I need to make some observations here: Up until this point in my life, I have not really spent that much time in a pool. It's mostly been the ocean, since NO ONE has a pool in the city. Let me list some Pros and Cons...
OCEAN POOL
Pros Cons Pros Cons
In SF Bacteria No Bacteria Not in SF
Helps bring Can take your You don't It doesn't
your Frisbee Frisbee out to lose Frisbee help you
back to you. sea. to the tide. get your ball.
Okay let's get to the fun part!!! So after playing FRISBEE STEP FRISBEE, I decided to take the plunge and try out for the Olympic diving team. Please note these recordings are only my best, and I still have lots of practice ahead of me!
Diving from the First Step!!
Diving from the 2nd Step!!
THAT'S WHAT I AM BOOF-ING ABOUT!!
The Low Dive, with perfect form! Assisting me is FauxGma, occasionally referred to as Golden Retriever, when she has to retrieve Frisbee from the bottom of the pool! Frisbee only floats when handled properly!!
PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!! This is for professionals only!!
THE OLYMPIC HIGH DIVE
Again I am assisted by FauxGma/Golden Retriever!
Some more shots of our afternoon:

After all this fun in the sun, we headed home to Clovis. We arrived to a house that had had NO air conditioning for what appeared to be most of the day (based on the temperature of the house)! FauxMama was a bit on edge, I could see the steam coming from her ears!! I mean poor thing, first the air in her car, then the window, then the house air conditioner, I am not sure she can take much more...But after brief call to her Papa, FauxGpa suggested she check the breaker. I accompanied her to A. make sure there were no pesky KITTIES and B. to show her my support. Luckily FauxGpa was right! It was the circuit breaker! A HUGE relief came over all of us. It was going to be a HOT time in the OLD town tonight with no air!!!
It was finally cooling down....
FauxMama served dinner and then was headed off to a dinner party. It was a HUGE day, and I was really glad when FauxMama left for her dinner party. That meant that Macy and I had the place to ourselves. Peace and quiet. Although Macy was feeling quite ill again after a binge of apples (we think)!! I was loving life!!
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!
Stool: Still loose.
Sore: Hmmmm. I don't think the swimming was a good idea! The sore closest to my foot has opened up a bit, but there is no drainage. We put medicine on!! FauxMama called Dr.Moran to get the test results and make sure that she's not going to have Staph from swimming with me. But he was out today, and will be in tomorrow. She said she will touch base with him tomorrow.

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.
