Spencer’s Birthday Adventures.

Yesterday was my 10th birthday and it was an action packed day! We were up REALLY early and went for a big walk. Then Jessy and I had scrambled eggs for breakfast. After that we had a little nap to power up for the rest of the day. After a  good play we headed out …

Birthday Boy!

  Today is my birthday! I am 10 years old. The kid is still here but I turned the tables on her and woke her up this morning. I was excited to see what presents I got. The first present was a set of 3 pink tennis balls. I know you think pink is for …

Puppy Shenanigans.

When I woke up this morning…very early this morning…the kid was still here. Puppies sure do get up early! I like to sleep in myself because we go to bed very late. You know the humans are creative types that work better in the dark, BOL!   Anyway, I was snoozing away when there was …

Puppy Madness.

The big news is that yesterday a 4 month old puppy came to live at my house for a little while. We are fostering Jessy for the Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue. So I guess that makes me a big brother…kind of. She is in her gangly teenager stage…all limbs! She’s still pretty small. The …

Crazy Week.

It’s been a crazy week! Things are busy at the studio and the rain came back to Los Angeles for awhile. All the showers brought the flowers. They are popping up everywhere. The rogue flock of parrots came back too. I don’t know where they went for the winter but they announced their homecoming very …

Dinner Time.

Dinner time is one of my favorite times. I like to see what interesting food is going to show up in my dish. This is what was for dinner last night….BBQ chicken…mmmm!  I LOVE chicken! I think it is may be the best thing ever…ok, maybe tennis balls are the best thing ever, but chicken …

What A Life.

I’m so happy! It seems like spring has come to LA…the birds are nesting and the sun is hot. It’s been a very busy time for me and the humans too. Work at the studio is very busy and the humans have started a thing called renovation in one of the bathrooms….it involves lots of …

The Return of the Sun.

Ahhhh, the sun came back after nearly a week of torrential downpours. And may I say it was not a moment too soon. It was getting really boring not being able to go places without getting soaked. This morning I decided to soak up as many rays as possible and recharge my vitamin D supply. …

Boring Rainy Day.

The last few days it’s been raining a lot here in LA so I’m not going on many adventures.   I guess it’s my fault. My human grandparents called to tell me how cold it was there and I said it was nice and sunny here and then….blam, it started raining…. and raining and raining …

Busy, Busy.

Whew, what a busy day! I got up early and started my day by going to the hospital to do my pet therapy rounds. I visited so many humans and covered all 5 floors of the hospital. It was worth it because I got lots of pets, some cookies and made a lot of humans …

Ancient Instincts.

Last night there was a really good documentary on PBS called “Dogs That Changed The World”, about the origins of dogs and how we evolved to live with humans. Actually it spoke a lot about how humans might not of survived without us. See, I told you we were important! Through evolution dogs have been …

Photogenic Pup.

Look at this! My friend Boomer, a  handsome 12 year old Golden who lives in Las Vegas, made this cover for me…thanks Boomer! Maybe I should get an agent to do photo shoots, BOL! Today was a beautiful sunny day here in Los Angeles and I enjoyed every minute of it, relaxing in the yard. …

Check Up.

Today I went to see Dr. Hernandez, my vet, for my check up. She works at Pet Medical Center in Santa Monica and she takes really good care of me. I jumped in the car and was ready to go. As usual I ended up waiting for the humans to get ready. They are so …

Pet Therapy Prep.

Yesterday was my day to go to the hospital and do my pet therapy rounds. That meant bath time the night before. Well, it’s actually shower time for me. I just walk in the shower and get sprayed with the massage sprayer. It feels pretty good. Maybe I should open a chain of dog spas…”Spencer’s …

Storm 2008!

Everyone was talking about the big storm that hit the west coast yesterday. Of course on the local LA news they make even a shower sound like the “End Of The World” (said with really big reverb and echo), so I took it all in stride. I had a good play in the morning and …

Garden Toys.

Today we installed my Christmas present to my humans…the present other than my smiling snout. I gave  them a golden retriever weathervane to put in the garden. It looks a little like me when I puff myself up and it spins in the wind too. Well, I don’t spin in the wind but if I …

Happy New Year!

Here we are on the last day of 2007 and I’m looking back on what a great year it was. It was my first full year with my adopted humans and what a year it was!  We had lots of adventures together. I met lots of great clients working at the studio, went on many …

Christmas Wrap Up.

Christmas has come and gone and I had a great time…lots of cookies, presents and love….what else does a dog need? Maybe a good roach in the grass. I did an extra good one for all my friends whose grass is covered in snow right now. This is how we do Christmas in Los Angeles. …

More Presents!

I got more presents!   That’s right, I’m spoiled. These are  from my friend Lola, a really cute bulldog. I am  addicted to tennis balls but Lola found some new toys  that I really like. First, I got a frisbee called a Zogoflex Zisc. I had to give it a good sniff when I got …
