It's hard to believe it's 2025 now! Wow. 

 

The pups are good, but getting up there in age now! 

Teddy’s thirteen and going strong, Allie’s eleven and slowing down a bit, Eshe’s nine and definitely slowing down, Tybo’s eight, Drina’s three, and Giacinta just turned three.

 

We’re pretty sure Eshe, the shepherd, has arthritis now as she’s much more wobbly in her hind end, she has a noticeable limp when we’ve occasionally missed giving her Metacam, and she has an irritating tendency to snap at Giacinta, our smaller black Bouvier. Gia is a bit of a fluffy goof, so we think Eshe’s just cranky and afraid that Gia will run into her and cause her pain, but it is irritating since we have to stay on our toes to watch them.

 

Tybo, the taller black Bouvier,🤣 had to have surgery a couple of weeks back. He had a lump on his jaw that needed to be removed, which was luckily non-cancerous, as well as an infected tooth that had to be pulled. As I think I’ve mentioned in the past, Tybo is the alpha of our little pup pack, so when he came back all doped up and groggy, the girls were all over him. Checking him out, sniffing his face, trying to clean his mouth... overall just pestering the heck out of him. We made them back off, but it was kind of adorable to watch. 

 

And the Sands ranch is great. We actually spotted an owl for the first time (pic below). It was a tiny thing and we think it was an Eastern Screech owl. It was beautiful. We’re keeping an eye out, hoping to see it again and praying it stays safe over winter.

 

As for what's new...

 

A new Argeneau story will be coming out in July! It's called Immortal By Morning. This story is about one of Basil’s sons, Crispinus Argeneau, and newcomer, Abril Newman. Several bodies are discovered in the side yard of Abril’s boss’s new house and Detective Crispin is called in to investigate because all of the victims found were mysteriously drained of blood. This romance is full of mystery, nerve racking moments, and of course humor.

 

Also I’m currently in the middle of writing the next Argeneau after that one, which takes place in a retirement community. Alerted to a potential problem due to the skyrocketing death rate, enforcers Nicholas, Donny and our favorite Spanish pirate, Vasco from Vampires Like It Hot, have been sent to investigate the unusual increase. (And Yes, I am having a whole lot of fun with this story!)

 

I think that's it for now! 

 

Big hugs,

Lynsay
