Another Peek Into My Life

A peek into my life

For this peek into my life, it’s time for another puppy update!

He’s doing great, but he still has some very mouthy, chewy times. During the last one, he chewed several large holes in his bed and swallowed a bit of stuffing. No worries, it all came out the other end without too much discomfort for any of us. So, we had to take the bed away until we could properly sew up the holes. I’d been repairing them with hot glue but he seemed attracted by the glue.

The poor thing really didn’t like not having his bed. He was hyper for the entire week it took until we could get it sewn, and wanted so much more attention from us than usual. We tried to take him on longer walks and play with him more outside, but none of it was good enough until he got his bed back.

When he did, he spent hours and hours on it, barely moving, so afraid it would be taken away again. He didn’t greet me or the boys at the door when we got home from school that first day, as he usually does. He only moved for his dinner. And then he ran straight back to his bed again.

So cute. And no new holes so far!

Please share a fun or heart-warming story about your furry love in the comments.

And Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers and friends! *gobble gobble*

Tori’s Teaser Tuesday: A Wolf Hunted From Hearts on Fire Charity Anthology

Tori's Teaser Tuesday

In honor of the release of the charity anthology Hearts on Fire, here’s a teaser from my contribution to the anthology, A Wolf Hunted.

This story chronicles how Dany and Guy from Wolves in Paris met and became mates.

As she approached the salon, a deep, rumbling man’s voice she didn’t recognize emanated from the room. Curious, she entered cautiously, Catherine on her heels.

At the sight of the owner of the deep, rumbling voice, Dany stopped dead and Catherine walked into her.

“Sorry,” Dany mumbled, moving into the room so as not to block her cousin.

In front of her, sitting on the leather couch with her brother, was a huge, muscular man with short dark hair, tan skin, and melty chocolate brown eyes.

He noticed her and stood.

Dany was not a short woman, but this guy towered over her. From his smell, she understood why. He was a bear shifter. The breed of bears known in the Pyrenees region of southwestern France.

Her brother, Lucien, scrambled to a standing position, his gaze darting between Dany and the stranger. “Oh, Guy, this is my sister, Dany. Dany, this is my friend from university, Guy Elizondo.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Guy said, leaning down to kiss her cheeks.

The touch of his cheek against hers sent electrical sparks through her body. But why? she wondered. She had Arnaud. She wasn’t looking for something else. She was happy with him, wasn’t she?
