Nicollette Sheridan enjoyed some winter sunshine yesterday with her faithful companion - Golden Retriever Oliver.

The Desperate Housewives star hit Malibu beach for a dog day afternoon and to soak up the sun.

Wearing sweat pants and a baggy top, the actress got her daily dose of exercise by playing fetch with her pooch.

Nicollette then stripped off into hotpants to work on her tan.
