Yesterday I went to the hospital to do my pet therapy rounds so that meant I had to have a bath beforehand. Jessy had one too. She was very good in the shower and stood still to get washed. She got the zooms after she got out, just like I do. We got the house …

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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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. …
Crow Central.
With winter (which is not much different than fall, here in southern California) there is extra activity with the wild life. Particularly squirrels and crows. The squirrels are busy burying anything even slightly edible all over the yard. I saw a fat squirrel trying to carry an avocado that was as big as he was…it …
Rainy Day.
Today it’s raining out so I’m lounging around. It’s a little chilly for a southern California dog, so I have my comfy blanket with me all the time. The humans say I look like a little race horse walking around with it on my back. Even though I’m staying in out of the rain, I …
Spencer Goes To School.
Yesterday I went to visit to a school. The kids were studying the letter “N” and were learning about nurses. Nurse Kai from Northridge Hospital asked me to accompany her on her trip to the school. She gave a very good talk about nurses and all the great things they do to help you when …
Hiking And Other Fun.
We snuck in some time to go hiking this weekend. We went to the Canyon Back Trail (or sometimes called Kenter Trail) in the Santa Monica Mountains. The humans used to hike there pretty regularly but this was my first time there. It’s a really good hike. Here I am heading up to one …
Squirrel Patrol.
The squirrels have been extra busy this week…lots of activity. I spend my mornings watching them. I think they are getting ready for winter. Silly squirrels, it doesn’t get very cold in Los Angeles! They spend the whole day running back and forth across the telephone wire collecting nuts. Sometimes they fight with each other …
Smokey Skies.
As practically everyone knows by now, Southern California has had an awful lot of fires this past week. Luckily, I live in an area that isn’t a fire hazard but we are close enough to some of the fires to get a lot of the smoke. This week it’s been very smoky with a weird …
Weekend Hike.
This weekend was a busy weekend for me. We started off with hiking in the Brand Trails in the Verdugo Mountains. I like it here because it’s very peaceful and there are lots of good smells. The trails start out at Brand park and get rugged quite quickly. There are also good mountain bike trails …
Horsing Around.
This past weekend the humans went horseback riding…right in the middle of Los Angeles. Yep, that’s right and it’s not a pony ride at the fair either. These are real horses and real trails. Just like Roy Rogers. There is an area called the Rancho Equestrian District, where people live smack in the middle of …
A Beautiful Fall Day.
Fall is here. Everyone thinks we don’t have any seasons in Los Angeles, but we do have some variation. There is the over 100 degrees weather, which I call Extreme Summer! Then there is the normal hot weather, which is Regular Summer. My favorite is fall when the temperatures are in the 70’s. It’s a …
The Dog Actor’s Studio.
I’m getting ready to make my 4th movie, “The Adventures of Spencer: Part 4”. So I’ve been practicing my acting. This is my serious drama face. “Are you talkin’ to me? Are You talkin’ to me?” (Said like Robert Di Niro.) This is the same line said in Air Bud style. “Mpffh Youpfphf Maplpffin’ To …
Cool Weather…Well, Cooler Weather.
It has finally cooled off to a balmy 80 something (that’s around 26C for my international friends.) here in Los Angeles. Anything under 100 feels great now! The best part is that once again cools right down in the evenings. That means long walks and hanging out in the yard while the humans do some …
My Anniversary.
Today is my anniversary. It is one year ago that I came to be fostered with my humans. I was rescued by the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue. There I was at 8pm and no where to go. My humans got a call “We have a dog and no where to take …
