With so much bad news going on in the world today, I thought I’d share something that made me happy: we have a new addition to our family! Meet Leia, our new puppy. Yes, I named her after Princess Leia/General Organa from the Star Wars movies (didn’t know I was that much of a Star Wars geek? Well, now you do!)
I love the markings around her eyes. It looks like she’s wearing glasses!
She’s only 13 weeks old, and from the size of her paws, she’s going to get a lot bigger. She’s also scary smart: on day two, she figured out how to scale the wall of her pen to escape. We now have to lay folding tables over the top as a “lid” to keep her in it since Loki (my other dog) is NOT ready to share the family bed yet. Here’s my husband in the pen with Leia, showing her that it’s not so bad:
Now you know what I’ve been doing lately, which is teaching Leia many important things like Carpet Is Not For Peeing, and Mommy’s Nose is NOT A Chew Toy. I’m low on sleep, but Leia has brought a lot of joy to us these past ten days. I hope you’ve had something bring you joy recently, too :).
She’s adorable! I love her facial markings!!
Sounds like she’s going to live up to her name too LOL
Leia is beautiful.
Work has been so busy haven’t had time to read much or cuddle cats and husband as much as I like 😕 the heat in San Antonio makes everything off.
Thanks again for sharing your stories with us. Cat, Bones, Ian , Vlad and everyone have helped now and in the past when I needed hope and a cool place to hang out.
Be well.
Blessings
Congratulations she is adorable! And so lucky to have such a loving family.
Hello Jeaniene,
I’m so glad for you and Matt. What a beautiful puppy and what a sweet name. Do I detect a husky in her? She reminds me of my Tashina, she was as beautiful as that little puppy is. I hope you and you’re wonderful husband are safe and well as long as well as the rest of the family. Miss seeing you my friend that signings and and conferences.
She is so pretty! Love puppy snuggles🙂
Huskies are escape artists. My husky/GSP mix can jump a six foot fence with no problem. She opens doors and finds weak points in any barrier. Her name is goose. Your baby is precious.
Congrats! She’s adorable! Love her markings.
She’s lovely!! I hope she brings you much joy!
Awww, so cute! Congrats on the new edition!
She’s a beautiful bundle of fur and bet she gives good cuddles.
Love her “batman mask” it is very cool. Glad you found a new baby to add to your home. 😊
So cute. Thank you for sharing pics.
she is a cutie 😉
Ciao, love from Italy

Oh so cute!! Congrats!
Congrats Jeaniene! She is a beauty and I hope she brings joy to your life.
One of my favorite authors gets an absolutely adorable puppy and another of my favorite authors releases a completely awesome book (seriously, go read Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews right now, do not wait, it is that good). Yay for joyful things!
So true! 🙂
Very pretty. They are known for being scary smart, lol, and stubborn sometimes too. Just signed up for newsletter, and hope I can get info from there.
She is so pretty! I LOVE dogs.
Boa noite, amo o seu blog, os seus filhinhos pet, Léia e Lokis. Que linda família vc tem, Deus os abencoe sempre. Gostaria de fazer um pedido: que vc pudesse criar uma historia para o tenoch, sei que desde o inicio dos seus livros ele está morto, mas pense vc trouxe o amigo de volta para a historia do Ian, como ele tem o poder de regeneracao, vc poderia dar vida á ele. Imagine que fodão ele seria? Obrigada por tuas historias, vc não imagina que diferenca elas fazem na vida de cada fã. Deus á abencoe.
