Today I went on a big adventure to the beach! There is a nice stretch of beach right in between Santa Monica Beach and Venice Beach that is very nice to hang out on. There is lots of sand. At the edge of the sand there is a bike and walking path that goes …

A Visit From A Friend.
My friend Lola came to the studio for a visit and I was very happy to see her again! Lola is a very cute bulldog. I knew her when she was a puppy and now she is big. She liked sprawling out on the concrete floor just like me. It’s nice and cool …
The Art Of Making Smiles.
Today was my day to visit the hospital for pet therapy again. My job is to make all the humans at the hospital smile because if you are at a hospital you probably could use a smile or two. So I got up early and practiced making some faces to make humans smile. First I …
A Nice Surprise.
I had a nice surprise this week when my friend, Frog the Dog, sent me a certificate! Isn’t it nice? I was helping him look for his toy, Spiky, who got lost in the ocean. I combed the beaches in Los Angeles, keeping an eye out for Spiky but Spiky was found not too far …
Creepy Critter.
Yesterday there was a praying mantis in the yard all day. First it was on the patio table. It turned brown trying to camouflage itself. It worked because I thought it was a leaf until I looked closer. The humans put it on a branch and moved it to the bushes at dinner time. Somehow …
Ball Maniac.
I am a self admitted tennis ball addict. I love tennis balls. And there is nothing better than a fresh tennis ball. Today I got a WHOLE BAG of fresh tennis balls! Can you believe that? I usually get one or two new tennis balls at a time but today…blam, a whole bag full of …
The Dog Who Thought He Was Human.
I am what they call a people dog…I love to hang with people. They say “velcro” is my middle name. Where ever my humans go I am right there. Fortunately my humans like to have me around as much as possible so everyone is happy. Today I was extra happy because I saw sooo many …
Spa Day.
Tomorrow morning I go to the hospital again to be a therapy dog. That means I have to have a bath because there are NO STINKY DOGS allowed in the hospital. I don’t mind, except that I smell like lavender after my bath. It’s so hot today that I had my bath outside and it …
A Trip To The Farmers Market.
Last night we took a trip to the Los Angeles Farmers Market. This is the original farmers market and a few years ago it was revamped and they put a very nice outdoor mall called the Grove next door to it. There are lots of great places to eat plus all the typical market grocery …
Spencer Report.
This month the humans & I worked a lot…well, they worked and I sat nearby for pets and stress relief. We still made time for our walks and even managed to see some friends. I was very happy despite the hectic schedule and very long hours. Our wonderful friends gave us a beautiful fruit basket …
Walking Adventure.
Last night we did another neighborly walk down to Menchie’s for frozen yogurt. That place is dangerous…dangerously tasty! Good thing they have sugar free and no-fat yogurt or we’ll all be packing a few extra pounds in no time! While we waited for everyone to get together, we checked out the evil worms who are …
Evening Activities.
This evening I was all ready for my evening walk but the humans were taking a very long time getting ready. I waited patiently, ready to go as soon as they were done whatever it was they were doing, that took so long. Finally we were on our way. I like to stop and smell …
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 …
TGIF!
It has been very busy at the studio this month. We have been working late everyday. By 10pm I am usually conked out on my fuzzy blanket… Every now and then I sneak a peak to see what’s going on or if I hear an interesting sound… So tonight I was happy to get out …
Something Smells Fishy.
The other night we worked late at the studio and then took a trip to Lowes to get some landscaping supplies for the yard. I waited in the car but it was ok because it was dark out and the humans were quick because everyone was hungry. On the way home we stopped at the …
Photos and Food.
The humans are still going crazy with the new camera and I can’t get a break. First thing in the morning, click, click, click….I had to cover my eyes. The good thing is I got a few extra cookies to pose…. And in the evening we went for pizza….mmmm. There is a great gourmet …
New Camera.
Today I am very happy because we got a new camera! It’s a Canon SD800 IS and it is very small but has a lot of really nifty features. So I hope our pictures get better now. This evening we had to test it out. Of course I had to pose with the three …
A Big Walk.
Tonight we had a big walk with a bunch of our neighbors. We have great neighbors! We all walked down to a new frozen yogurt place called Menchie’s and got some yogurt. They have very tasty frozen yogurt and they are dog friendly, they keep a water bowl for dogs on the patio. I got …
Week Wrap Up.
It’s been a very busy week at the studio. Most of my adventures have been in the studio this week. In the mornings, before it gets really hot, I like to play hard with the tennis balls. Then I go to work and chill out in the air conditioning and get lots of pets. I …
No Stinky Dogs Allowed.
I have to have a bath every time I go to the hospital for pet therapy…no stinky dogs allowed! I even have a little doggy breathe mint when I get there just for extra freshness. I have to admit, I am not really fond of baths. Oh, I tolerate the humans drenching me with water …
