Today my humans posted the trailer for Red Dog Diary: A Dogumentary. They have been working very hard on the documentary and are very happy to have the trailer done. This is the story of Raja the golden retriever who passed away from osteosarcoma (bone cancer) last year. You can read about his story here.

Ready To Go.
I am always ready to go. All you have to say is “Spencer, let’s go!” and I am ready! You can even whisper it and I’ll still be ready because I have very good hearing. Dogs do you know. I can hear the work “walk” or “ready” from anywhere, no matter how quietly you say …
Naps.
Naps are good. When you are tired you should have a nap! I like to take my naps in many places….on the cool studio floor on hot days, in the office listening to music, on my fuzzy blanket, in the car on the way home from a long hike and on the lawn listening to …
Balboa Park.
Today we went to Balboa Park. It’s an 80 acre park in Van Nuys with a 27 acre lake in the middle. You can do a lot of things at the park like walk or bike around the lake, rent a pedal boat or kayak, fish, picnic, play with remote control mini boats, golf and …
Critters.
This is me watching the evil squirrel. He lives in the trees and walks across the fence to the other side of the yard. Every now and then he sneaks into the yard to bury walnuts in the flower beds. I have my eye on this one. He is a bad squirrel. He is …
Happy Dog.
I am a happy dog. It’s my nature…I’m a Golden Retriever after all, but I am extra happy. I even wag my tail when I eat. Even science has studied tail wagging and they say if a dog (me) wags his/her tail more to the right they feel very good about things. I wag mostly …
Wilacre Park
As you may know I love to go exploring. That’s why I love to go hiking. “But Spencer, you live in a humongous metropolis…where can you go hiking?” you may wonder. Well, wonder no more. The Santa Monica Mountains have a lot of trails for hiking in Los Angeles. They are just one of the …
Allnighter.
Last night was a late night. My humans ended up working all night so I tried to stay up and keep them company. This from a dog that is conked out by 10pm. There needs to be an espresso machine for dogs (note to self: invent dog espresso machine, stay up late nights and surprise …
Daily Walks.
Walks are good. I like walks. I usually get at least 2 a day. My morning walk takes me up and down different streets in my neighborhood and sometimes to the post office. Past the 2 dachshunds on the corner, who bark and bark and bark until I walk up to the fence to say …
My Addiction.
If you have just dropped in you might not know I have a little tennis ball problem…ok, it’s not a problem…it’s an addiction. I LOVE tennis balls! They are the only toy I play with. You can keep your woobies and frisbies, all I need is a tennis ball and I am very happy. I …
Santa Ana Heat.
Oh no, they’re finally here, the Santa Ana Winds, basically hot wind from the desert. They’re late and it’s hot, VERY HOT. Their arrival has changed my daily schedule. Now I get up early for a walk and a play and then when it heats up…siestas ( oh yeah, Happy belated Cinco De Mayo. everyone…I …
Hollyweird.
I went to my audition yesterday. It was really a zoo…full of dogs…dogs barking, running all over, stealing my tennis balls, dressed in silly costumes and about a million Jack Russell Terriers. To say it was chaos would be an understatement. I just sat under a tree and watched all the pandemonium until it was …
Spencer: TV star?
The big news today is that I got a call to audition for a tv show tomorrow. That’s great news except now I have to have a bath…they are not my favorite thing to do…but at least I’ll look amazing for my audition. I don’t really know much about the show so I’ll have to …
Mmmmmm….BBQ!
Last night we had BBQ chicken. I love chicken! I also love salmon too but I think I love chicken more. When we BBQ I must sit and protect the chicken so no one tries to steal my chicken! When it’s all done I get my piece cut up and served in my dish to …
Check Up.
On Thursday I went to the vets for a check up. When you’re a senior like me you should go every 6 months. We jumped in the car and headed to Santa Monica. First we made a stop at the dentist’s for the humans to get their teeth cleaned. Actually only one human went so …
Weekends.
The weekend is fun because we get to go places and smell new things. This weekend we went hiking in Griffith Park. It’s big, 4,210 acres so there is a lot of space to hike and other things to see too. You can read all about the park here. There are mice, deer, fox …
Busy Dog.
I am one busy dog. Oh yeah, I really am. This past week was very busy at the studio with lots of clients coming and going. I have to greet each one and give them the pet test. They get bonus points if they pet me. I just sit beside them and telepathically say “Pet …
