Its hard to believe that it was one year ago today that Spencer passed away from cancer. A lot has happened in that time…we’ve fostered numerous Golden Retrievers for rescue and last September we adopted a special boy named Kona, but not a day goes by that I don’t think of Spencer. Although we both …

Lovely Weekend.
I hope everyone had a very nice Valentine’s Day, full of love. Mine had lots of hugs and kisses. We spent some time out in the yard gardening. Well, the humans did the gardening while I just watched. I approved the choice of flowers. I even sniffed them all, BOL! In the afternoon we had …
Energizer Puppy.
That’s what my HM calls me now because I keep going and going and going. Two weeks ago today they gave me two weeks to live when they diagnosed my cancer, hemangiosarcoma. Well, I guess they got that wrong, BOL! I decided to celebrate with a small game of catch. Throw it, throw it, throw …
The Mighty Spencer.
Hi everyone! I thought I’d give you an update on me…I’m still doing mostly well. I have times when I feel just like my normal self and times when I slow down a little. But it’s still pretty good and I am a happy dog. It’s been raining in Los Angeles this weekend so I …
Super Spencer.
I am still fighting my cancer and winning more good days than bad for now. My humans say even though I look like an old softy, I proved I am tougher than I look. This bag is a message for breast cancer but I think it could be for any cancer… it’s all bad stuff. …

Sad.
Yesterday I had a bad day. I woke up and peed blood. Other than that, I was my usual happy self just like I have been all week. Concerned, my humans whisked me off to my vet and they sent me to a specialist. After a battery of tests we know that my left kidney …
Rain, Rain, Go Away.
After a week of beautiful sunshine, I woke up to this today…rain. So instead of my morning walk, I hung out in the doorway and watched the rain fall. Notice how I conveniently got the humans to put my blanket there for me? After work I came home and snuggled up on my living room …
Sunshine Break.
Hello everyone! Sorry I’ve been away… the new year started very busy at the studio and I’m not getting much blog time. Today I took a small break from work to take some sunshine pictures with my HM. It’s been around 85F (29C) here in my part of Los Angeles all week so HM and …
Spencer On Patrol.
Woo hooo! It’s the weekend and I’m going to the park to do some squirrel hunting. Come on, let’s go! As soon as we arrived I spotted some squirrels. I went straight to work tracking down more as soon as I got out of the car. See my point? Not bad for a city dog, …
Lazy Day.
I was very lazy today. The best part was when I hung out with my HD in the backyard. We’re best buddies. We kept an eye on all the birds and squirrel activity. The sun felt so good that I decided to just flop over on HD’s lap. That turned out to be a …
Hello 2009!
Hello 2009! I stayed up to midnight and celebrated with a cookie, some milk and big hugs from my humans. It was the perfect start to the new year. The first day of the year was excellent here in Los Angeles. It was a beautiful sunny day and I spent most of it outside, playing …
Happy Holidays!
Hi everyone! I don’t have much time to visit all my friends lately but I want to take time to say thanks for visiting me. I hope everyone one has a GReat holiday (with lots of tennis balls and chewies!) & a very happy New Year! wags, Spencer
Feeling Festive.
Christmas is almost here and I am one lucky pup, getting lots of presents. My friend Wally and his mom gave me a very nice set of Christmas tennis balls… look how festive they are! There are 6 of them but I can only fit 3 at a time, BOL! Yesterday was my day …
Wildlife.
I was sunning myself in the backyard when I spotted a bird sneaking around on the lawn. I decided to go investigate what he was up to. He was hunting a praying mantis! I scared the bird off and took a good look at the mantis. Can you see him looking back at me? My …
Thanks, Thanksgiving!
Hello everyone, it’s me, Spencer … back from the land of the busy dogs! Things have been very busy at the studio and the humans have a lot of other stuff going on so I’ve been trying to get on my blog for some time. Finally I got some time to relax and have some …
The Earth Moved.
This morning I awoke to an earthquake… no wait, it was just the paver and the steamroller paving our street. It was shaking the whole house so I got up to check it out. Fortunately I have a bed handy right beside the front window so I could check out the action in comfort. I …
