I AM MOCHA

MOCHA - Chocolate Labrador (F): 2006-2019
I predate this website, but the love of Labs started with me!

Mocha, a chocolate Labrador, looks majestic and judge-like set against the white stone wall

I was abandoned by my previous owners when I was six years old. Some nice people adopted me. I lived in South West France

The truth is that I adopted them! I was living in the next-door farm and I kept following them on walks. Then one day I sat outside the gate for 6 hours. Another day I found my way in and sat outside their front door all afternoon. They got it in the end.

Mocha looks heavyset and chunky in this picture at 6 years old

I was a bit chunky when I was 6. They made me lose weight!

Mocha enjoying the river near Montjoi, SW France

I like going to the river every day

Mocha being comforted after her major operation. She is still feeling the aneasthetic

I was a bit poorly after a major cancer op in 2013.
I made a full recovery and I had much more energy afterwards

Mocha in a large garden surrounded by huge 20kg pumpkins

Those people grew too many huge pumpkins, I never found out why.
I eat pumpkin of course, but it's not my favourite

Mocha trying to get every last crumb out of a tube of snacks

There's some left in here, I'm sure of it

She is in the snow, wondering where all the smells went

Yes it does snow in the South of France! Plays havoc with the smells

Did you know that I am good at singing? Click the play button with your volume on!

This is my favourite toy

Taking a woollen sock and deciding that she now owns it

I found a sock! That's mine now

A distant picture of Mocha alone on a windsewpt beach at Arcachon while the waves crash in the background

Out of tourist season I have the whole beach at Arcachon to myself!

Mocha in a large rubbish bin not enjoying an enforced shampoo and wash

I love swimming, but not having a wash...

Me with Mocha on a kayak in the river Aveyron, France

Here I am in a kayak on the River Aveyron.
We had a good adventure and a lovely swim that day

Mocha sitting next to Nicole and smiling

I have lots of land to run around in and we go on some nice long walks

In this picture I'm giving Mocha a serious tickle and she is lying on her back with her tongue out

I love a good tickle, if you stop too soon I'll wave my paw at you

Mocha on the side of a hill looking alertly to the right

I thought I heard something over there?

Then in 2015 Indy arrived - she was a tornado!

We play and rest in the garden

We roam the fields and woods together

and have lots of swims

This is our favourite game

It looks like fighting but we love it

I look pretty good with my hat

My good friend Indy

We are both really tired at the end of the day

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE

Attention
A sock or sandal to borrow
Tickles
Swimming
Chasing a tennis ball
Playing with Indy
Eating...
Lasagne from the oven tin until the tin is clean, twiglets, peanut butter, marmite, cheese, savoury pancakes (galettes), olives, ham
MOCHA

With Indy in the garden

I had a great life full of fun, tickles and adventure
