The Ups & (Mostly) Downs Of Getting Old.

Hello everyone, it’s me, Spencer, back at last! Sorry I’ve been away so long. There has been a lot going on here and it was difficult to get online. I have been very busy at work and with the pet therapy program at the hospital. Part of my job at the hospital is to help …

Pups In Need.

I have sad news. The pups, Ben & Jerry, have been in and out of the vet emergency room over the past month, but this past week, they took a turn for the worse. Poor little Ben has been in ICU the past 4 days and is hanging on by a thread. Unfortunately Jerry had …

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 …

Here We Go Again.

 With the pups gone it was quiet enough for me to sleep in this morning instead of getting up at dawn. I LOVE to sleep in and my bed is very comfy! I even have my own pillow. I was still very tired today despite sleeping in until 8am. I had to get up and …

Jessy Gets Adopted.

Good news! Jessy found her forever home! She’s gone home with them today. I’m sure she’s going to have a GReat life because she’s a pawsome pup.  I miss the kid already. Here’s some of my favorites of Jessy. She woke up FULL of energy. Sometimes it even rubbed off on me and I got …

A Day In the Life.

I’m happy to report that Jessy has fully recovered from her spay operation. She woke up after a full 7 hours of sleep (oh yes, I enjoyed that…this old dog loves to sleep in!) ready to play and ravenous because her food had to be limited for the past 2 days due to the operation. …

Farewell Sunny!

It’s a lot of work fostering 2 puppies at the same time…especially when you’re a 10 year old dog! The kids are so full of energy I can’t keep up. Even the humans are running around like crazy. Things at the studio are very busy right now, too so it’s been like a precision operation …

Jessy 101.

In between all the action of my birthday, adjusting to life with a puppy around and just doing their regular work, the humans finally put together a video of Jessy. Click on the picture to go  see it.   Here are some facts about Jessy: – she is 4 months old – she is very …

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 …

Birthday Boy!

  Today is my birthday! I am 10 years old. The kid is still here but I turned the tables on her and woke her up this morning. I was excited to see what presents I got. The first present was a set of 3 pink tennis balls. I know you think pink is for …

Boring Rainy Day.

The last few days it’s been raining a lot here in LA so I’m not going on many adventures.   I guess it’s my fault. My human grandparents called to tell me how cold it was there and I said it was nice and sunny here and then….blam, it started raining…. and raining and raining …

Busy, Busy.

Whew, what a busy day! I got up early and started my day by going to the hospital to do my pet therapy rounds. I visited so many humans and covered all 5 floors of the hospital. It was worth it because I got lots of pets, some cookies and made a lot of humans …

Check Up.

Today I went to see Dr. Hernandez, my vet, for my check up. She works at Pet Medical Center in Santa Monica and she takes really good care of me. I jumped in the car and was ready to go. As usual I ended up waiting for the humans to get ready. They are so …

Pet Therapy Prep.

Yesterday was my day to go to the hospital and do my pet therapy rounds. That meant bath time the night before. Well, it’s actually shower time for me. I just walk in the shower and get sprayed with the massage sprayer. It feels pretty good. Maybe I should open a chain of dog spas…”Spencer’s …

Storm 2008!

Everyone was talking about the big storm that hit the west coast yesterday. Of course on the local LA news they make even a shower sound like the “End Of The World” (said with really big reverb and echo), so I took it all in stride. I had a good play in the morning and …

Happy New Year!

Here we are on the last day of 2007 and I’m looking back on what a great year it was. It was my first full year with my adopted humans and what a year it was!  We had lots of adventures together. I met lots of great clients working at the studio, went on many …

Christmas Wrap Up.

Christmas has come and gone and I had a great time…lots of cookies, presents and love….what else does a dog need? Maybe a good roach in the grass. I did an extra good one for all my friends whose grass is covered in snow right now. This is how we do Christmas in Los Angeles. …

More Presents!

I got more presents!   That’s right, I’m spoiled. These are  from my friend Lola, a really cute bulldog. I am  addicted to tennis balls but Lola found some new toys  that I really like. First, I got a frisbee called a Zogoflex Zisc. I had to give it a good sniff when I got …

Presents!

We had a party last week and I got some presents. Look at this…a present all for me from my friend Deborah! Can you guess what’s in there? Whoo hoo, lots of tennis balls! How did she know I love tennis balls, BOL?! I had to dive right in and test them out. Look at …

Waiting For Santa Paws.

  This week I got a Christmas tree and decorated it…ok, so I did have some help from the humans, but I did give it a good sniff to make sure no one had peed on it. It smells very nice and pine fresh actually.   Once we got it all decorated I decided to …
