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 …

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. …
Tag I’m It.
I was recently tagged by Techie & Izzie for the 8 random facts tag. Hmmm, is there anything new about me to reveal? Let me see… I have quite possibly the thickest ears of any dog on the planet. I hit the door with my paw, just once, when I want to go out. 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 …
How Green My Grass Is.
The humans are getting all arty on me…taking photos in weird colors. I say what’s wrong with normal colors? At least the tennis balls are still yellow. I love to carry them around, 3 at a time. Ahh, here we are back to normal colors. See how green my grass is? That’s because the …
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 …
Adoption Event.
This weekend I went to be an ambassador at the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue’s adoption event. This is the rescue that my human parents fostered and then adopted me from. I dressed up in my pumpkin bandana and was a shining example of what a rescue dog can be. I got …
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 …
Late Night Session.
Last night I worked late. We were working on a science fiction movie…they have lots of sound design in them so it’s a lot of work. I mostly sleep through the work parts but I wake up when we watched it down to make sure it sounded great. I really got into the movie… Wow, …
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 …
Crazy Squirrels.
Every morning I watch some squirrels. They walk across the phone lines behind my house so they don’t have to walk through my yard past me. Sometimes they run very quickly across. Sometimes they stop and balance, like it’s a tight rope act. And sometimes they stop and yell at me and then run off. …
Sleepy Head.
I like to sleep. I admit it but that’s ok because I play hard. My humans say they never saw a dog sleep so hard. I squeeze my eyes tight and when I am in a really deep sleep I curl up on my big comfy bed in a little ball. Sometimes I snore softly …
Heat.
This past week it has been hot…hotter than heck! We peaked at 106F (41.1C for our international friends) the past couple of days. You know it’s hot when even at midnight it is close to 100 outside. So my adventures have been from one air conditioned building or car to another. House to car to …
