The Mighty Spencer.

Hi everyone! I thought I’d give you an update on me…I’m still doing mostly well. I have times when I feel just like my normal self and times when I slow down a little. But it’s still  pretty good and I am a happy dog.

It’s been raining in Los Angeles this weekend so I nap when it’s raining.

It rained A LOT on Friday and Saturday so I napped a lot.

My appetite is as big as ever and now I eat only human food, no kibble at all. MMMMM! My favorite meal so far was grilled chicken served  with  polenta and cheese with a side of  sautéed  spinach. That  was  very tasty…I even took my time eating it. This morning I had scrambled eggs and rice.

When we get a small sun break, I go outside and roll in the grass. You can see the hair is growing back on belly where they shaved it for my ultrasound tests.

Sometimes I go sit in the front yard for a change of scenery. All the flowers are loving the rain.

When the rain comes back we play in the house. I got some new tennis balls! You can never have too many tennis balls.

And then I sleep some more to keep my  strength  up.

Thanks to everyone for all their beautiful messages and encouragement, it means a lot to me and my humans. I’m so lucky to have so may good  friends!

  3. Hi Spencer! :o)

    It’s so great to see you enjoying life, eating yummy meals and getting plenty of rest. You deserve it! I especially like that picture of you rolling around on the grass in the sun. Such a fun goofy pup! Stay strong, my friend. Sending you lots of hugs and kisses… xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

  5. Hmmmmm. Didn’t get a picture with a security word. Had to click to hear an audio file and it opened windows media player. We think they might need to perfect this system. That’s really the long way around. But hopefully we made it so we can leave a comment.

    We just stopped by to check on you and we’re glad to see you are eating well and having some good days,.whether it rains or not. Jan says she used to have a mixed bree dog that could hold 3 tennis balls in her mouth at one time. If she wasn’t carrying a tennis ball around, she was carrying her rock. (Yes, a rock. And if she liked you, she would drop it at your feet for you to admire.)

  6. Hey Spencer!
    It ´s amazing how you can put three tennis balls in your mouth. I want to do this, but it is hard for me. Wonderful pictures! Your food looked delicious! I would love to try that!
    We´re so happy to hear you are feeling well! We love you!

  7. Hi there Spencer,

    We are really glad and relieved to hear that you are feeling a little better. We pray for you and your beans all the time. We are so happy that you posted a picture of yourself with a mouthful of tennis balls, that’s our favorite thing about you – no other doggie we know has that talent! You are so lucky that you get to eat human food all the time now! Good for you!

    We are glad you hairs are growing back. Benson had to have an ultrasound two weeks ago so he is bare-bellied as well, it embarasses him we thinks.

    Take care Spencer,

    Benson and Gibson

  10. Yo Spencer!

    Frogtastic to hear you are getting lots of YUMMY grub down – scrambled egg is especially good for keeping up your strength! I used to have that when I was a poorly pup :)

    LOVE your photos – especially rolling about in the grass and the tennis ball monster mouth trick.

    Hugs and hugs from us all! xxxx

  17. Hey Spencer,
    We are so glad you are enjoying every day. What an inspiration you are to us. Hey how do we score some of that tasty human food?

  18. Hey Spence – So glad to see you more like your old self! The tennis balls are the proof. My mom tries to get me to do it but two is the most I can do! And scrambled eggs and rice for breakies? Holy cow! I only get boiled chicken and rice if I have an upset tummy. I pretended I had an upset tummy for a week just so I could eat it. Kibble seems so boring after that!

    Spence, we are just thrilled you are hanging in there buddy! It is soooo nice to hear from you! Keep your head up and write us all soon!

    Lots of licks and rubs!

    Gracie

  19. hi spencer, we got here thru one of the dog blogs.

    take care, enjoy the sun.
    we’ll come by more often!

  20. That tennis ball trick of yours ROCKS! I bet my sister Tahlia could fit 3 balls in her big mouth BOL.
    Big healing licks to you

  21. Oh Spencer! What awesome pics your humans have made of you. I have not checked in in awhile and am thrilled to see you are doing better than expected! Your humans are doing a great job and what awesome supper you are having! Keep fighting the good fight !

  22. Heeeyyyy Spencer,
    I am always sooo glad to read your blog and look at the fabulous photos of you doing the things you do everyday. I love the three tennis balls in your mouth – you are a wizard! I think I watched you do that in your movie star blog? You keep getting that rest because I’ve heard it’s “recuperative” as my mom says, whatever that is. Your human food looks absolutely and droolingly scrumptious. Your peeps are pawsome and you are MAJOR pawsome!
    With Hugs and Love and Licks,

  23. Hi, Spencer!
    I am so happy to know you are feeling good.
    Yummy food and nice naps. Sounds great.
    I love your picture with the balls in your mouth!
    I still have my paws crossed for you!
    Take care
    Kisses and hugs

  24. SPENCER, old buddy, old pal,
    We’ve been very anxious waiting to hear from you. How GREAT you’re doing! That people food diet is definitely good for what ails you. Hakuna Matada buddy, hakuna matada. Jubal is the only one of us that has mastered the 3 tennis ball pickup; and that is a GREAT picture of you with 3 tennis balls. We know that your HM and HD love you a lot, but guess what? We love you too. We put you in our blog every day for good luck. We think of all of the time and pray to DOG that you’re doing well. You keep doing what you’re doing. Give a few licks to the HM and HD for us; that would be 12 in all from each of us, so times 2 would mean you gotta dispense 24 licks..

  25. Thanks so much for the update, Spence! We’re thinking about you every day and hope you’re feeling well. You’re such a beautiful boy! Enjoy your people food and your naps on those rainy days!

  26. Oh Spencer!!!

    We are so happy to see you with your 3 tennis balls in your mouth!!! You just made our day! Keep on feeling good Spence and tell your humans thanks for the wonderful pictures!!! We Love you Spence!!!

  27. Wow I could never put all 3 tennis balls in my mouth. BOL. Looks like you have enjoyed your weekend. And you are looking great. Your naps look so comfy too. =)

  28. Hey Spencer

    We are so glad you are up and around when it is not raining. Your meal and breakfast sound yummy. All we ever get is kibble. And you look so cute with your new tennis balls. We hope you get more nice sunny days.
