Well almost…my human mom and I started our processing so I can become a therapy dog at the Northridge Hospital. This week I went to be evaluated. They poked and prodded me and even almost ran me over with a wheelchair to make sure I am not a BAD dog and won’t bite any patients. …

Happy Birthday America!
Today is Independence Day here in the USA. That means parades and BBQs….mmmm. I love BBQs because that means I get chicken and I loooovvvve chicken. I am hoping to go to our neighborhood parade this morning if it is not too hot. It’s supposed to be 96F (35.5C) here in our part of Los …

I’m Back!
Hello everyone! I’m finally back from my working vacation. It was a very busy week here at the studio. The humans were working on many different projects. That means I had a lot to do too…greeting clients and making sure everyone stayed happy during sessions. I got lots of pets this week! I have a …
Beach Bum.
Yesterday we went to the beach. Los Angeles has many beaches but dogs are only allowed on a handful, so we went to Leo Carrillo State Beach which is part of a big park of the same name. You can camp and hike in the park and the beach has tide pools and a giant …
The Art of the Roll.
Like many dogs, I enjoy a good roll in the grass. It’s even better if I roll over a few tennis balls while I’m at it. To have a good roll first you must scatter the tennis balls near the rolling spot. Then stretch out on your side and push off with your outer back …
Work.
I am a dog with a job! I am the official studio mascot for Grind Music & Sound. We make sounds for film and television…well, I don’t make sounds unless they need dog sounds (or growly monster sounds), but you know what I mean. My duties are to greet clients when they come to the …
Cousins Part 1.
I thought I would introduce you to some of my cousins. Here are Deak and Chase. I call them the “low riders”. They live waaaayyy up north in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Chase was adopted first. When he was a pup, he was flown into Yellowknife from the Fort Smith Animal Society by his …
Fun In The Sun.
I really enjoy being outside, even though I am what they call an indoor dog. (One day on a walk, a man with a doghouse on the back of his truck asked us if we had a good doghouse. My humans told him the whole house was my doghouse.) My day begins with checking out …
Wonderful Weekend.
I had a wonderful weekend hanging out with my humans. We spent time gardening. In the evening, when it gets cooler, we garden in the front yard. I like to watch all the action in the neighborhood….humans on their walks, other dogs passing by and sometimes stopping to pee on the tea tree, the cat …
A quiet afternoon.
In the quiet afternoons I relax on the patio… I like to listen to the drops of water splashing in the fountain… they land near the big fish. Some splash over the edge onto me while I sleep… my eyelashes flutter while I’m sleeping, dreaming of chasing the evil squirrel that yells at everyone… …
Elusive Parrots.
There are rogue parrots that have moved into our neighborhood. I hear them in the morning when I have my first play of the day. They are very noisy but we like them more than the crows. Crows are sneaky. You can’t trust crows. The parrots are noisy but we rarely see them. They do …
Treats.
Yesterday we went to the Three Dog Bakery for no particular reason other than I am a very good dog. It’s true, no one ever says “Spencer, you are a BAD DOG.” Nope, not me. I am a good dog all the time. So we picked out some very yummy treats for me. There are …
Tagged Again!
I’ve been tagged again. This time for the Starbucker Meme “Is the glass full?” by Petlvr, who has tagged a whole wack of bloggers. So here goes: 1. How full is your glass? My “glass” or bowl is almost always full until I come along and fling water all over the floor with my snout …
The Zen of the Tennis Ball.
There is a Zen of tennis balls for dogs. Come grasshopper and I will show you the way of the tennis ball… You must not fight the tennis ball. It knows where to sit in your mouth when you pick it up. The tennis ball knows best. Sometimes it will position itself to the side …
Flower Dog.
We had a lazy weekend. I am mostly hanging out at home. It’s getting hot here in LA so I spend lots of time outside in the shade or inside in the air-conditioning. I like to lie under the lemon tree and look at the flowers. I hide some of my tennis balls in the …
Evening Walk.
It’s been a rather busy week this week so we haven’t had too many big adventures. We do make a point of having a very nice evening walk every night. It’s best to go just at dusk. That way you can still enjoy all the sights (and smells always!) and it’s not too hot. My …
I’ve Been Tagged!
Our friends Bala, Sankara, Amy, Nikko & Pepper from “One dog and Two Birds” tagged me today to write a list of 8 unusual or funny things about myself and then tag somebody else. So here it goes: 1- I was rescued from the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue. 2- My …
Dining Adventures.
I love dining out. Actually, I usually don’t eat when we go out but I, like to go anyway. We go to restaurants with patios and I love to lie near the table and watch all the action. I even get my own water and sometimes a special cookie too. This weekend we went to …
Whoo Hoo! Long Weekend!
Whoo hoo, it’s a long weekend! First let’s have a moment of silence for those we are remembering, the brave heroes past and present…..thanks. Ok, onto the weekend! Weekends are great for trips and this weekend kicks off camping season. Oh boy, I can’t wait to go camping. There are lots of hikes when you …
