Yard Work.

I was hanging out in the yard this morning and enjoying the grass and sunshine, when I decided to try and flatten all the grass. It was getting kind of tall so I thought I’d do it myself instead of waiting for our gardener to come and cut it. So I rolled… And rolled. (Notice …

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 …

Spencer’s Birthday Adventures.

Yesterday was my 10th birthday and it was an action packed day! We were up REALLY early and went for a big walk. Then Jessy and I had scrambled eggs for breakfast. After that we had a little nap to power up for the rest of the day. After a  good play we headed out …

Garden Toys.

Today we installed my Christmas present to my humans…the present other than my smiling snout. I gave  them a golden retriever weathervane to put in the garden. It looks a little like me when I puff myself up and it spins in the wind too. Well, I don’t spin in the wind but if I …

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. …

Cookie Product Control.

We made cookies this week. I am the official cookie tester. I wait until they are done and then I eat them to make sure they taste good. It’s a hard job…especially the waiting…   and waiting…come on cookies! Finally! Look at all the cookies! Mmmmm! When I am all done testing I wash them …

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 …

Tag I’m It.

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 …

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?

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 …

Cool Weather…Well, Cooler Weather.

It has finally cooled off to a balmy 80 something (that’s around 26C for my international friends.) here in Los Angeles. Anything under 100 feels great now! The best part is  that once again cools right down in the evenings. That means long walks and hanging out in the yard while the humans  do some …

Creepy Critter.

Yesterday  there was a praying mantis in the yard all day. First it was on the patio table. It turned brown trying to camouflage itself. It worked because I thought it was a leaf until I looked closer. The humans put it on a branch and moved it to the bushes at dinner time. Somehow …

A Trip To The Farmers Market.

Last night we took a trip to the Los Angeles Farmers Market. This is the original farmers market and a few years ago it was revamped and they put a very nice outdoor  mall called the Grove next door to it. There are lots of great places to eat plus all the typical market grocery …

Walking Adventure.

Last night we did another neighborly walk down to Menchie’s for frozen yogurt. That place is dangerous…dangerously tasty! Good thing they have sugar free and no-fat yogurt or we’ll all be packing a few extra pounds in no time! While we waited for everyone to get together, we checked out the evil worms who are …

The Traveling Bone.

I got a pressie bone  this evening  and normally I eat them fairly quickly but today I hung onto it for a good ling time. I took it out in the yard and watched birds  with it… then I took it  on my evening walk (I look oddly short in this picture!)… I even held …

A Good Chew.

There is nothing like a good chew to make a dog happy. I like to chew on a special bone treat that is supposed to make my breath smell fresh….it doesn’t work. I have ultra doggy breath. Chewing on the treat is a favorite pastime of mine. When I get the treat I like to …

Hungry Dog.

 When I am hungry a look at my humans with my “feed me face”,  like this… Who could resist this face? Not my humans, I know, it works every time. And then I get something like this… It’s very delicious and makes my lick my lips. This one is roast chicken breast with asparagus and …

Wonderful Weekend.

I had a wonderful weekend hanging out with my humans. We spent time gardening. In the evening, when it gets cooler, we garden in the front yard. I like to watch all the action in the neighborhood….humans on their walks, other dogs passing by and sometimes stopping to pee on the tea tree, the cat …

Treats.

Yesterday we went to the Three Dog Bakery for no particular reason other than I am a very good dog. It’s true, no one ever says “Spencer, you are a BAD DOG.” Nope, not me. I am a good dog all the time. So we picked out some very yummy treats for me. There are …
