Yesterday I went to visit to a school. The kids were studying the letter “N” and were learning about nurses. Nurse Kai from Northridge Hospital asked me to accompany her on her trip to the school. She gave a very good talk about nurses and all the great things they do to help you when …

How Green My Grass Is.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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? …
The Art Of Making Smiles.
Today was my day to visit the hospital for pet therapy again. My job is to make all the humans at the hospital smile because if you are at a hospital you probably could use a smile or two. So I got up early and practiced making some faces to make humans smile. First I …
A Nice Surprise.
I had a nice surprise this week when my friend, Frog the Dog, sent me a certificate! Isn’t it nice? I was helping him look for his toy, Spiky, who got lost in the ocean. I combed the beaches in Los Angeles, keeping an eye out for Spiky but Spiky was found not too far …
Creepy Critter.
Yesterday there was a praying mantis in the yard all day. First it was on the patio table. It turned brown trying to camouflage itself. It worked because I thought it was a leaf until I looked closer. The humans put it on a branch and moved it to the bushes at dinner time. Somehow …
Ball Maniac.
I am a self admitted tennis ball addict. I love tennis balls. And there is nothing better than a fresh tennis ball. Today I got a WHOLE BAG of fresh tennis balls! Can you believe that? I usually get one or two new tennis balls at a time but today…blam, a whole bag full of …
The Dog Who Thought He Was Human.
I am what they call a people dog…I love to hang with people. They say “velcro” is my middle name. Where ever my humans go I am right there. Fortunately my humans like to have me around as much as possible so everyone is happy. Today I was extra happy because I saw sooo many …
Spa Day.
Tomorrow morning I go to the hospital again to be a therapy dog. That means I have to have a bath because there are NO STINKY DOGS allowed in the hospital. I don’t mind, except that I smell like lavender after my bath. It’s so hot today that I had my bath outside and it …
Evening Activities.
This evening I was all ready for my evening walk but the humans were taking a very long time getting ready. I waited patiently, ready to go as soon as they were done whatever it was they were doing, that took so long. Finally we were on our way. I like to stop and smell …
First Day Volunteering.
Today was my first official day of being a pet therapy dog at the hospital. I had my bath last night and was all groomed to look my best. When we got to the hospital we did our rounds with Ginny, whose own Golden Retrievers, Bentley and Molly are both therapy dogs. Bentley is from …
Spencer: Tennis Ball Lifeguard.
Tonight we were playing ball and one of the balls accidentally ended up in the fountain. So I had to show them where it went…it’s in here… no, I don’t want another one; I want the one in the fountain… come on, you have to save that ball it’s drowning… finally, that took a lot …
Cousins Part 2.
This is my cousin Max. He lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It gets very cold there in the winter, but Max likes to play with his frisbee in the snow. (Which reminds me…can someone get my frisbee off the roof!) Max is a purebred Border Collie and has lived with his humans since he was …
The Good Life.
I’m living the good life. We need to take the time and appreciate all the good things in our lives. Here are some of the good things in my life… …brand new tennis balls even though I already have about 100… … humans that like to play games with me… …finishing up a good meal… …
