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 …

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 …

Head Down.

I have a great big head. Yep, it’s pretty large and blocky…all the more to love! I use it too, not just for thinking, but to get humans to pay attention to me. If they’re just sitting there talking, blah, blah, blah, I come along and give them a nudge with my great big head …

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 …

First Day Volunteering.

Today was my first official day of being a pet therapy dog at the hospital.  I had my bath last night and was all groomed to look my best. When we got to the hospital we did our rounds with Ginny, whose own Golden Retrievers, Bentley and Molly are both therapy dogs. Bentley is from …

Chase was adopted first. When he was a pup, he was flown into Yellowknife from the Fort Smith Animal Society by his …

Puppies.

Everyone loves puppies! So I thought I’d give you a break from me and give you some puppies… Look at that face! I know you are asking, “Spencer, where did you get the puppies?” They are not mine but one of my humans went on a trip to Bakersfield this weekend to help save them. …
