Sierra's Scoop

Happy Tuesday, everyone, it's Sierra. Everyone at Mommy's work calls her the healthiest person they know. Maybe they wanted to test out that theory. Mommy tried and tried to keep from getting sick. She says it's hard to do when people who are sick come to work. Mommy getting sick was inevitable. She feels the worst today. Teddy was a good boy and kept Mommy company while she rested tonight. I will keep Daddy warm so he doesn't get sick.

Sierra's Scoop

Happy Tuesday everyone, it's Sierra! Mommy was still not feeling one hundred percent today. One minute she was hot then the next she was cold. I was trading off with Teddy every once in while to make sure one of us was always at her side. On a lighter note, last night Teddy and I were both put on high alert when we heard a ruckus from outside. Daddy quickly grabbed his flashlight and pulled the screen door open for us to go see who, if anyone was there. Guess what we found? A freakishly hideous, downright disgusting possum. It was walking across our fence toward our garden so Teddy and I growled and let out some vicious barks but that only made the little marsupial freeze in his tracks. Thankfully, the hose was already laying out so Daddy sprayed him in the face till he scurried away. Daddy said he might eat the fruits and veggies in our garden so I hope that ugly little thing never comes back ever again!

Mommy...

is not feeling well. She was warm last night but by this morning Mommy had a fever. I stayed by her side all day night. The temperature shown here was after the worst of it passed, and I am happy to report that after a few Advil, Mommy is showing signs of improvement.

Sierra's Scoop

You can tell by the look on my face that I haven't been feeling very well today. Since last night I've had an upset tummy and a little case of diarrhea. I woke up Mommy and Daddy twice last night just in time to let me out. I did have one squirt/explosion type of accident on the back door mat. It's not my fault, I just could't hold it any longer. Maybe it was something I ate while I was out in the backyard or maybe it was something I ate on our daily walkie. It's really hard to say for sure since I eat things so fast that I usually don't even stop to see what it is. I guess not everything that smells like food is good for you.

Sierra's Scoop

Today I want to share my adoption story. I feel like the luckiest dog in the world. I love my Mommy and Daddy and my brother Teddy Bear. My life wasn't always so great though. I don't really remember my birth Mommy very well. I was taken from her when I was only a month old and she couldn't stop it from happening. Then I remember being at a park and waiting and waiting. I didn't know what else to do. It got dark and I didn't have my Mommy. I was so scared. Those were the worst nights of my life. Then I was taken to the Sacramento S.P.C.A. where I was named Fargo. After being there for a few days I was labeled un-adoptable, aggressive, and overly protective of my food bowl. I got sick with a bad cough that made me sound like a boy. One day a nice man from Creatures of Heart Sanctuary named Kurt came and said he would find me a home. First he took me to the vet and gave me medicine then he said I needed a new name. He called me Sierra because I was as white as the snow in the Sierra's. So the story goes...Mommy was looking on Pet Finder and saw my picture. She called Kurt and said she wanted to meet me. So Daddy, Mommy, and Teddy Bear drove all the way to the Sacramento Petsmart to see me. I was put on a leash so Mommy and Daddy could walk me around to see what I was like. I said goodbye to my friend Kurt and left with my new family as the happiest girl ever.....the rest is history in the making. Here is a photo from my first day home....
