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 …

Lavender Dog.
The night before I go to the hospital to do my pet therapy rounds, I have to have a bath. They say I have to look good and smell nice for the humans. I’m a dog…I think I smell fine without lavender shampoo and conditioner! Anyway, it makes all the humans happy so I put …
Froggy Baby.
I have a frog on my back. That’s right, a frog! He doesn’t look anything like my friend Frog the Dog because this is a real frog. Ok, well, a stuffy frog. He’s trying to teach me to play with any toy other than a tennis ball. I love tennis balls…can’t get enough of them …
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 …
Zoom…I Feel Good!
Oh yeah, I feel good…just like the James Brown song…na, na, na, na, na. Life is good, I’ve got new tennis balls and I’m getting lots of love too! I’m so happy I got the zooms. For those of you who don’t know what the zooms are, that’s when we dogs run around in crazy …
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 …
Dance Lessons.
Put your left foot out and shake it all about… Put your right foot out and shake it all about… Let’s do the Hokey Pokey! Now where’s my cookie?
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 …
Trick?…Nope, Just Treats.
Halloween is coming up and I’m getting lots of treats for my tricks! These are very tasty dog treats from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. This place has a lot of great treats for humans but this is just for us dogs. They are dog cookies dipped in a white chocolate that has no cocoa or …
Wow, I Can’t Believe I Won!
Nope I didn’t win the lottery but a while ago, some of my friends encouraged me to enter a contest. This wasn’t a beauty contest or a talent contest but a tennis ball contest. That’s right, a tennis ball contest! You send in a picture with you and a tennis ball somewhere in the picture. …
Meditation.
There’s a little spot in my house that I like to go and meditate. It’s very cozy. Sometimes I go there and just ponder things like…Why don’t tennis balls fall from the sky? … Why are cats so moody? ….Why can’t I open the cookie jar by myself? … Why can’t we have world peace? …
My Domain.
As you’ve probably guessed, I pretty much live like a king…good food, lots of attention and a big domain to rule over. And even though I go on lots of adventures, there’s nothing like home…laying in the grass, listening to the fountain and watching over my domain. That’s what days off are for. I like …
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 …
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. …
Hot Spot.
Things have been very busy at the studio and I have been neglecting my blog in order to keep sessions running smoothly. Then a BAD thing happened to me on top of all that….I got a hot spot. I have very thick, hairy and heavy ears and with all the heat the past few weeks, …
