The white peach tree is EXPLODING now with tons of sweet, luscious fruit! It’s just crazy at the amount of fruit that falls! We camp out underneath the tree and literally, just open our mouths and the ripe fruit falls in. The summer months that the fruit ripens is like a dogs dream, eating non-stop.

But the obnoxious rats try to steal our fruit, that’s why there’s always at least one of us under the tree. While we’re there, the rats dare not touch the fruit. Luckily, Sierra has a good reputation amongst the rats and possums. They’re terrified of her and just avoid the whole back yard when she’s guarding at night. But unfortunately, even guards need their sleep and when she takes a break, they attack the peaches.

It’s OK though because there’s plenty of peaches still to go around. Mom and Dad made a white peach and sorrel salad. They put some type of funny, sweet dressing on it. No thanks! We’ll just take the version of white peaches that come straight from the tree!

You can read what they made and the find the recipe HERE.

The little white brat got so much attention in mom and dad’s last garden video. It took some serious attitude and pouting on my part to let them know that love is to be shared, between both household dogs! So they finally agreed to put a little video together just for me, showcasing my tenor attributes.

I’ve always loved to sing, ever since I was a little pupper. When I hear music, the sweet sounds makes me want to howl out loud for the whole neighborhood to hear. The video was really alot of fun to make and it was all about ME ! Check out the video on mom and dad’s page and listen to my pure tenor sounds to Tchikovsky’s nutcracker suite.

My own singing VIDEO HERE.

They said I look so cute. I actually like this warm winter jacket. It’s lined with a nice warm fleece and it keeps me cozy during the cold nights. Now I don’t have to lay on top of Dante to try to stay warm. It’s also a neutral color , without all of the silly bells and funny looking accessories .

I think this sweater is a great idea and I give it a paws up. All doggies should have something like this .

Mommy & Daddy are going green in 2008 ! They’re recycling more left over food. Alas, they fed us the springrolls that were sitting in the fridge! It’s been so tough for us the last couple of days wondering if these luscious rolls were going to make it to our food bowls or donated to friday’s trash collection. The daily pain that we suffered smelling those rolls but never getting them is something we would never wish on any canine brethren . So please , oh please all parents out there, do good for the environment, recycle all your plastics and give us dogs all your left over goodies.

I really like it when it rains because Mommy and Daddy make it special. They make popcorn and cuddle on the couch to watch a old movie. The best part is that if I’ve been good, they let me cuddle with them, right between them. I lay on their lap and rest my head right next to the big bowl of hot popcorn. I rest, cuddle, listen to the rain and maybe, just maybe, they’ll toss me some popcorn! I love rainy days!

Mama started it, but now everyone is calling me, “Little Monster.” At least dad claims that “Yeah, but she’s our Little Monster.” I don’t think this nickname is warranted at all. I guess it all began last spring at the vet. How am I to blame if I mistook that little Chihuahua for a squirrel? I get to chase squirrels, right? It was about the same size, just missing the poofy tail. Besides, Dante told me he calls them, “snacks.” I still can’t figure out if he is kidding about that. Then they say I pester Dante all the time. If I didn’t coax him into playing that old dog would be as fat as an elephant. All he wants to do is eat and nap. He’s over 7 years old already and somebody has to keep him young. BTW, that bloody ear incident was not my fault. Those flappers of his are all over the place. He hit my teeth with them. I swear. Maybe I am a little bratty when I take over both of the beds after he gets up to potty, but again, somebody has to make sure he gets some exercise. It’s just not fair that I get labeled with such a title as “Monster.” Oh well, at least I’m “their” Little Monster.

-Sierra, aka (Little White Trouble) that’s my preferred title. Who doesn’t like a little trouble?

They are at it again. First it was those thing-ies they called Halloween costumes. Now they are putting antlers on our heads, or jingly balls around our necks. The worst thing about it is that they’re laughing “ho, ho, ho” during this torturing ritual. Do we look like we have hooves? No hooves, no horns or antlers, please. And the balls are just damn annoying. How are we supposed to sneak up on a bird in the yard with that wrapped around our necks? It is totally killing our hunting stealth. I do have to admit that the fleece jacket they put on me is awfully nice. I get chilly in this freezing Southern California weather. It has to be a least 50° out there. My short coat just doesn’t cut it. Another option would be to feed me double meals so I can add an extra fat layer. I don’t mind the extra meals. I hope all you canines out there had a nice, holiday in your birthday suits instead of those humiliating Christmas outfits.

I just wanted to take a peek at what they were making tonight. It looks like butternut squash soup. Ooooh, it smells really good. I saw them put some mushrooms and some other stuff that I didn’t know. I wonder if they’ll let me lick the spoon. I saw them let Dante lick the whisk the other day when they made whipped cream. So maybe they’ll let me do the same. I love soup and just about anything, except for lettuce. Keeping my paws crossed.

Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Don’t tease me with just one lick. I’ve been good lately and you both know it. Fresh whipped cream is tasty and it takes at least 5 licks to get to the center of the whisk. If all you humans are going to reward us dogs for good behavior or extra lovin, make the treats…substantial! I’m talking about a handful of stuff, a big spoon full of what ever and at least 5 licks off the stick or whisk ! Don’t be cheap.

Here’s the REAL DEAL !! No fake, dried , enhanced or meat “flavored” additions here. They found a left over piece of Thanksgiving bacon wrapped tri-tip steak in the back of the fridge and it became OUR’S !!! Look at the real pieces of protein rich beef . This will make us strong and healthy, without the preservatives ! This is what all dogs should be adding to their diet. Of course, not everyday. But an occasional piece of the REAL DEAL shows your appreciation for all our cuddles and coos. Think about it parents !
