I like going places. Especially new places, which is easy when you are a dog because we don’t get to go as many places as humans. Too many of those signs with a dog crossed out in the world if you ask me. First I went to Manhattan Beach, not the beach but the city. …

Noise Pollution.
Everyone knows dogs have extremely good hearing, right? So if some noise is annoying you, imagine what I feel like. Which brings me to 2 things that need to be controlled. 1 – leaf blowers OK I know they seem to make things look cleaner but we all know as soon as the dust they …
Spencer’s Soapbox: Dog Guardians.
This month I am working with my humans on a presentation of dog stories from the rescue for their big fundraiser. Which brings me to this: DO NOT GET A DOG UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY PREPARED TO TAKE CARE OF IT! And I mean for it’s whole life, not just a couple of weeks while …
The New Digs Are Done.
We’ve spent the last 2 months building out the new studio for Grind and it’s finally done! I didn’t mind all the hammering and sawing but I’m glad things are cleaned up and somewhat back to normal. The main room is a pretty cool space for me to hang out in. I like the giant …
A Tribute To Raja.
Today it was one year ago that my predecessor, Raja, passed over the rainbow bridge after a battle with bone cancer. So I would like to dedicate today to him. From what I hear, he and I have a lot of similarities: love going new places, love eating roast chicken (ok what dog wouldn’t love …
The Zen Of Spring.
Ah, spring! Ok, so I am 2 weeks early but here in LA it already feels like summer. Today it’s 80F or 26.666C for my world friends. Just a little preview of the scorching days of summer to come. Still, I like to sit out on the patio and muse about cookies, squirrels, travel, world …
Spencer: Possum Hunter
Yesterday was an action packed birthday with the hiking, good food, walks, play and then the day ended with me finding a possum in the backyard! I ran like lightening to it as soon as I was out the door and I think I scared it to death. It curled up in a ball and …
Happy Birthday to Me!!!
Today is my 9th birthday! Happy Birthday me! I’m so happy…of course I’m pretty much always happy, but today I am extra happy. I’m going to have a “pupcake” from Three Dog Bakery, yummy! I might actually have a couple because they are small and I am big. It’s ok because I mostly have healthy …
I Am Dog, Hear Me Bark!
Sure I ‘m cute but don’t think I can’t get my game on when I need to. This week saw some strange noises around the yard and I was there with the Big Bark. Oh yeah, I have a VERY BIG BARK…it’s the type of bark that makes you think twice about being in the …
Dog Days of Spring
I figured it was time to update now that I’m all settled into my new life. The days go by fast when you’re a busy dog like I am. Tomorrow we’re going to the farmer’s market in Studio City. We get yummy croissants there and lots of fresh fruits and veggies. The rain (yeah…right, drizzle) …
Rainy Day Thoughts.
I’m back from my little journey through cyberspace, which was really weird. I never did end up at my real destination so I think I’ll just hang out here. It’s raining, if you call a light drizzle rain, here in LA today. The local news channels will treat it like the end of the world….”coming …
Lost In Cyberspace!
Heeeelp, I’m lost in cyberspace…a vast emptiness of 1’s and 0’s and me, Spencer. My blog was being transferred to another domain and it took a wrong turn somewhere and now I don’t know where I am. I’d sniff my way back home but there is no smell in cyberspace. Oh well, guess I’ll just …
I Love The Smell Of A Fresh Tennis Ball In The Morning, It Smells Like Victory!
Ahhh, morning! I love morning as long as it’s not really early morning. That’s right, a dog that likes to sleep in. What can I say? My bed is awesome, 8″ of orthopedic foam covered by a big plush pillow…you’d lay in that thing as long as possible too. That said I did have a …
