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 …

Meditation For Dogs.
I feel pretty good this week. I think my acupuncture and Adequan treatments are helping a lot. So I played a lot and then I relaxed a lot. I like to chill on my West Paws nap bed. It’s nice and portable too so we roll it up and take it with us to my …
Micro Nose World.
My nose is very sensitive… it smells things close up… like red hot chilies…. and yellow flowers…. I can even smell the spray of the drops of water from the fountain… and the roses… as well as the limes…. I don’t get too close to smell this cactus because it’s prickly… but I like to …
More Tiny Needles.
Today I went for my second treatment of acupuncture as part of my treatment for arthritis and hip dysplasia. This time I was prepared and took my West Paw Eco Nap Bed. It rolls up just like a yoga mat, and I just love it! It makes you feel comfy no matter where you are. …

Bath Renovation Roundup.
When we moved into our house one of the bathrooms was this crazy pink bathroom from 1945…believe me, that is a lot of pink! So this year we decided it had to go. All those TV DIY shows make the demo part look fun but it’s actually the worst…big messes and lots of dust! …
Beautiful Packages With Pawesome Surprises.
One of my blog readers, Eva, has a wonderful site alilsumptinsumptin that features her original handmade jewelry. Recently she made a necklace dedicated in memory of Ben & Jerry.

After our big Cali Adventure, it was hard to get back into the swing of work. So after slogging through the week we decided to spend a day at the beach to relax. We packed up a nice picnic and headed over to our favorite local dog friendly beach, Leo Carrillo State Park beach. Dogs …
Cali Coastal Adventure: Part 5-Heading Home
After a few GReat days in Carmel, e had to head back home to Los Angeles. So we packed up and headed down historic route 101. Route 1 is more scenic if you get a chance to drive it but because of the fires in Big Sur, part of it was closed. I jumped in …

Welcome to part 2 of my big Cali coastal adventure! We headed down the coast a couple of miles to our main destination which was Carmel-By-The –Sea. It’s a very nice seaside town with a beautiful dog beach and it is quite possibly one of the most dog friendly places ever. You may have heard …

Spencer Gets A Package.
I am taking a puppy break today…ok, I just pawed them off on the humans, BOL! Guess what? I got a package in the mail! Once I got home I opened it up….with a little help from the humans because it’s hard to open boxes with paws. Inside was 2 bowls from DogPause, a company …
Tasty Weekend.
I hope everyone had a nice long weekend! I spent time running around, supervising the renovations and working up a big appetite. The best part was when the humans decided to BBQ turkey burgers…mmmmm! They always cook some for me so I LOVE BBQing. I think we need to get those on the grill ASAP. …
Squeaky Clean And Cool.
This Sunday I had my regular bath before going to pet therapy the next day. It was very hot outside so I had my bath outside. That way I got clean and I got cool too. It felt great. My human dad is really good at giving massages when he shampoos me….a little to the …

Santa Monica Meeting.
The other day the humans had a meeting in Santa Monica and I got to tag along. After the meeting we went for a walk along the bluffs by the beach. I was eager to go and smell all the ocean air. The beach was very quiet. In tourist season it gets very busy. It …
Joshua Tree Park Adventure Part 3.
Welcome to the third and last installment of my adventures in Joshua Tree park. I had a great time exploring the upper desert and looking at all the crazy rock formations. While you are in the desert, you have to be careful where you step. There are dangerous plants and animals. Like very prickly cactus… …
Busy Monday.
Yesterday I went to the hospital to do my pet therapy rounds so that meant I had to have a bath beforehand. Jessy had one too. She was very good in the shower and stood still to get washed. She got the zooms after she got out, just like I do. We got the house …
