Sad.
Yesterday I had a bad day. I woke up and peed blood. Other than that, I was my usual happy self just like I have been all week. Concerned, my humans whisked me off to my vet and they sent me to a specialist. After a battery of tests we know that my left kidney …
Rain, Rain, Go Away.
After a week of beautiful sunshine, I woke up to this today…rain. So instead of my morning walk, I hung out in the doorway and watched the rain fall. Notice how I conveniently got the humans to put my blanket there for me? After work I came home and snuggled up on my living room …
Sunshine Break.
Hello everyone! Sorry I’ve been away… the new year started very busy at the studio and I’m not getting much blog time. Today I took a small break from work to take some sunshine pictures with my HM. It’s been around 85F (29C) here in my part of Los Angeles all week so HM and …
Spencer On Patrol.
Woo hooo! It’s the weekend and I’m going to the park to do some squirrel hunting. Come on, let’s go! As soon as we arrived I spotted some squirrels. I went straight to work tracking down more as soon as I got out of the car. See my point? Not bad for a city dog, …
Lazy Day.
I was very lazy today. The best part was when I hung out with my HD in the backyard. We’re best buddies. We kept an eye on all the birds and squirrel activity. The sun felt so good that I decided to just flop over on HD’s lap. That turned out to be a …
Hello 2009!
Hello 2009! I stayed up to midnight and celebrated with a cookie, some milk and big hugs from my humans. It was the perfect start to the new year. The first day of the year was excellent here in Los Angeles. It was a beautiful sunny day and I spent most of it outside, playing …
Happy Holidays!
Hi everyone! I don’t have much time to visit all my friends lately but I want to take time to say thanks for visiting me. I hope everyone one has a GReat holiday (with lots of tennis balls and chewies!) & a very happy New Year! wags, Spencer
Feeling Festive.
Christmas is almost here and I am one lucky pup, getting lots of presents. My friend Wally and his mom gave me a very nice set of Christmas tennis balls… look how festive they are! There are 6 of them but I can only fit 3 at a time, BOL! Yesterday was my day …
Wildlife.
I was sunning myself in the backyard when I spotted a bird sneaking around on the lawn. I decided to go investigate what he was up to. He was hunting a praying mantis! I scared the bird off and took a good look at the mantis. Can you see him looking back at me? My …
Thanks, Thanksgiving!
Hello everyone, it’s me, Spencer … back from the land of the busy dogs! Things have been very busy at the studio and the humans have a lot of other stuff going on so I’ve been trying to get on my blog for some time. Finally I got some time to relax and have some …
The Earth Moved.
This morning I awoke to an earthquake… no wait, it was just the paver and the steamroller paving our street. It was shaking the whole house so I got up to check it out. Fortunately I have a bed handy right beside the front window so I could check out the action in comfort. I …
Sweet Dreams.
It rained out today and our hospital pet therapy picnic got canceled. So I napped by the fireplace and dreamt of the park. I was watching all the young pups running around like maniacs. And then I did some running myself! Even the rain couldn’t keep me from enjoying my tennis ball at the park.
Reunited.
I am so happy because my HM is back from her trip to Canada! I’ve been wagging my tail non stop and following her around all day. I told her all about the walks I took with my HD but I’m not sure she heard it because I had 3 tennis balls in my mouth. …
Solo Boys.
Hi everyone, it’s me…Spencer! I’ve been away because it got very busy at the studio. And now my HD and I are flying solo because my HM is in Canada, in a province called Saskatchewan. So things are a little topsy turvy right now! HM is up there filming for the documentary she is working …
A Fall Weekend.
It finally feels like fall here in Los Angeles after some crazy hot weather. The humans and I took advantage of the cooler weather to go walking through some parks. We started with Johnny Carson Park in Burbank. It’s right across from NBC studios and named for the famous Tonight Show host. It has a …
The Thrill Of The Hunt.
Yesterday morning I got up early and went to a park that is famous for having lots of squirrels. I’ve even been told that my humans last dog, Raja, once caught a squirrel here! They say they don’t know who was more shocked, Raja or he squirrel, BOL! Once I got to the park I …
Spry Old Dog.
Yesterday I went for my weekly acupuncture treatment. Dr. George gives me a rub before we get started. Ah, that’s the spot! I was practically asleep after that. See that container by my head? It’s full of tasty treats! I felt really good after my session and was ready to play when I got home. …
Dinner Time…Mmmmm.
I love dinner time!! I always get something very tasty in my dish. Here is last night’s selection….BBQ chicken breast with grilled summer squash, avocado (I’m a California dog, BOL!) and brown rice…mmmmm! There’s also some supplements hidden in there but I’m pretending I don’t know that. I can’t wait while the humans prepare my …
Acute Hearing.
I heard a noise! Did you hear something? I waited to hear it again. Are you listening? I’m concentrating. I think it was a squirrel but don’t worry, I’ll find out for sure!
