Missing In Action

Raja summer of 1997 at age 4 months, a field in the middle of Canada. “Don’t just stand there with that shiny thing, let’s go for a walk run.!” Time has flown by, its hard to believe March is here already. The past year saw a lot of changes for us and we are forging …

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 …

Super Studio Dog.

  It’s been very, very busy at work this week. I even pulled an all nighter and did 48 hours with the humans to finish a job. I was very sleepy the next day and snored away while the humans were still working. Today we had a session to do some ADR for a movie. …

Spring Has Sprung.

The first day of spring came and it feels like summer here in Los Angeles. We have 2 seasons here in LA…hot and hotter. It was 85 degrees today so I thought I’d get my shades ready before  heading out for a walk. I decided to wear  them like a movie producer….too bad I can’t …

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 …

Late Night Session.

Last night I worked late. We were working on a science fiction movie…they have lots of sound design in them so it’s a lot of work.  I mostly sleep through the work parts but I wake up when we watched it down to make sure it sounded great. I  really got into the movie… Wow, …

Spencer Report.

This month the humans & I worked a lot…well, they worked and I sat nearby for pets and stress relief. We still made time for our walks and even managed to see some friends. I was very happy despite the  hectic schedule  and very long hours. Our wonderful  friends gave us a beautiful fruit basket …

TGIF!

It has been very busy at the studio this month. We have been working late everyday. By 10pm I am usually conked out on my fuzzy blanket… Every now and then I sneak a peak to see what’s going on or if I hear an interesting sound… So tonight I was happy to  get out …

I’m Back!

Hello everyone! I’m finally back from my working vacation. It was a very busy week here at the studio. The humans were working on many different projects. That means I had a lot to do too…greeting clients and making sure everyone stayed happy during sessions. I got lots of pets this week! I have a …

A Little Blog Break.

Hi everyone! I am taking a little break from the blog this week because work at the studio is very busy right now. We are working on a lot of movies and television shows. One of them even has a dog in it, just not me! As sad as I am to have to take …

Work.

I am a dog with a job! I am the official studio mascot for Grind Music & Sound. We make sounds for film and television…well, I don’t make sounds unless they need dog sounds (or growly monster sounds), but you know what I mean. My duties are to greet clients when they come to the …

Red Dog Diary: A Dogumentary – the Trailer.

Today my humans posted the trailer for Red Dog Diary: A Dogumentary. They have been working very hard on the documentary and are very happy to have the trailer done. This is the  story of Raja the golden retriever  who passed away from osteosarcoma (bone cancer) last year. You can read about his story here.

Allnighter.

Last night was a late night. My humans ended up working all night so I tried to stay up and keep them company. This from a dog that is conked out by 10pm. There needs to be an espresso machine for dogs (note to self: invent dog espresso machine, stay up late nights and surprise …

Hollyweird.

I went to my audition yesterday. It was really a zoo…full of dogs…dogs barking, running all over, stealing my tennis balls, dressed in silly costumes and about a million Jack Russell Terriers. To say it was chaos would be an understatement. I just sat under a tree and watched all the pandemonium until it was …

Busy Dog.

I am one busy dog. Oh yeah, I really am. This past week was very busy at the studio with lots of clients coming and going. I have to greet each one and give them the pet test. They get bonus points if they pet me. I just sit beside them and telepathically say “Pet …

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 …

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 …

The Dog’s Breakfast

I am Spencer the studio dog and welcome to my blog. The world has gone to the dogs…literally, hee, hee. I hope to regale you with tails of my adventures in Los Angeles and possibly elsewhere once I get the hang of typing. Paws are a little big for the keyboard (note to self, develop …
