Bailey

My current pet dog is Bailey, a light brown mixed breed adopted from the Pasadena Humane Society a few years ago when Button was still alive. Bailey is about 9 years old; he was about 2 years old when he was adopted from the Pasadena Humane Society.

Bailey is about 15 pounds and has medium length brown hair; his hair doesn’t grow and does not

need haircuts, just the regular wash. He is mild mannered which does not make him a very good guard dog; he is very friendly including to the food delivery guys.

One peculiar habit of Bailey is to hide dog biscuits, under the couch and between the couch pillows. So every time he is give dog biscuits, he always gets 2, one for hiding to be consumed for later and the other for immediate consumption.

Peach Tree

I planted my peach tree about 14 years ago and have borne fruit year after year except for the last three years which is definitely related to the drought in California for the past several years. I thought of cutting the tree last January as it did not bear fruit for the last three years. Fruit trees are normally deep rooted and can tap water stored deeper in the ground but with several years of drought, moisture in the ground probably got deeper.

Fortunately I did not cut it down; it looks healthy and had no reason to cut it other than it has not borne any fruit for a few years. I decided to keep it with the abundant rain last winter; I thought it may bore fruit again. Luckily, it did have a lot of flowers which I’m sure it will develop into fruits.

Every branch is loaded with pink flowers, I’m sure there will be a lot of peach fruit come summer and fall.
