I was recently tagged by Techie & Izzie for the 8 random facts tag. Hmmm, is there anything new about me to reveal? Let me see… I have quite possibly the thickest ears of any dog on the planet. I hit the door with my paw, just once, when I want to go out. I …

Portrait Dog.
Artist Robin Andreae has painted a stunning portrait of Spencer for auction to benefit Old Dog Haven, A senior Dog Rescue & Hospice. Check out the auction and help some senior dogs. Many owners give up their dogs because they are “too old”. Just because we are old does not mean we aren’t good pets. …
Spencer Goes To School.
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 …
Power naps.
I am a big advocate of naps. Naps are good…no…they’re great! Everyone should take naps. I like to stretch out in the big room and nap in the sun… I like to snooze on one of my beds with my blanket… And when it cools off at night I curl up snug like a bug… …
Hiking And Other Fun.
We snuck in some time to go hiking this weekend. We went to the Canyon Back Trail (or sometimes called Kenter Trail) in the Santa Monica Mountains. The humans used to hike there pretty regularly but this was my first time there. It’s a really good hike. Here I am heading up to one …
Pet Cancer Awareness Month.
My friend Johann has an excellent post on Pet Cancer Awareness month, which is this month, November. This is a passionate subject for my family as they lost their Raja to bone cancer. It is very important to know the signs of cancer for early treatment. There are many organizations performing valuable research in this …
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 …
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? …
