Been a big day of splashing in their drinking water, covering themselves in mush and getting snuggles. They are fearless and ready for adventures.
Bixby has not really left his post all day. Silly pup.

Duckling Diaries: Bixby’s Ducklings
I’ve been occupied with a couple of cuties this past few weeks. I thought I’d share the adventures.
Day one started out as expected:
Bixby seems to be officially a dad. Ducks arrived today and he has not left their side. He’s also chased away the cats and Scout from “his” ducks.
I think it’s gonna be a long few months…
I’ll have more deets and photos, video after they get settled.
Stay tuned…

Underway: A TJ Wilde Mystery Now Available!!
Now Available!!
A DANGEROUS, SEXY, INTERNATIONAL ART ADVENTURE
A new job, a new home and a new outlook on life. But, of course, it could not be that easy.
A cute loft with a great view would be enough to bring me back to Boston. But add in a great job with my best friend, an adorable lost kitten, and a neighborhood filled with art and artists, then there was no question I was right where I belonged.
Unfortunately, missing Cuban art, a vandalized gallery, and a gallerist who has simply vanished are making the return to my favorite city troublesome. Not to mention, someone keeps sneaking into my apartment. This was not the marvelous return I had envisioned.
Add to that, my sexy lawman, who is both persistent and much too far away. He definitely is not taking no for an answer.
For TJ Wilde, moving back to Boston
felt like coming home,
but home was never this dangerous…

My Life Is Weird
Had an interesting weekend.
You know…the ducks were one thing…but reptiles are a bridge too far.
I found this gal while gardening. She crawled right into my hand. Luckily I have a 13-yr old niece who is wild about reptiles (and has a bearded dragon). I texted her a photo, she told me it was a chameleon. Clearly well taken care of and very, very lost.
She is molting, so stress is probably not what it needs. For now, she’s in the bathroom in a plastic tote (probably the same one Penelope hung out in the kitchen) with some things to make it comfortable.
She’s sweet, but I know nothing about reptiles, except how to remove a snake from my hallway and escort it outside.
I canvassed the neighborhood, feeling stupid, asking anyone if they lost a chameleon. I put a notice on NextDoor, where someone kindly informed me that there is a CO Reptile Humane Society here in town. I contacted them and shortly afterward, this poor thing was in better hands than mine.
My life. It is weird.

Book ‘Em, Daffy
I TOLD you ducks were shady.
The final scene in my newest novel, Jennifer McCaffrey Mysteries, (spoiler alert!) has to do with rescued ducks in a bathtub. Available soon!!
So, of course, this came across my FB feed yesterday:
This guy is my new hero:
Mark Luther: For everyone inquiring, these two fellas, now named Denzil and Beau, were owner surrenders that were being rehomed to Oinking Acres Farm Sanctuary here in Indiana by a couple that recognized they were not equipped to care for them properly! With the owner unable to self-transport, I volunteered to go and pick them up! However, they were Jumbo Pekins (size of a Goose), and they wouldn’t fit in any carrier! So we got crafty and made a box seat for to keep them contained for the drive!
Seems he does this tranport a LOT:
Oinking Acres Farm Rescue doing their best to rescue and educate:
More ducks!!! I got a call today about 3 ducks in need of rescue. We quickly arranged transportation, huge thanks to my friend Mark! He is becoming quite the expert in duck wrangling 🤩 We definitely need more kind hearted, selfless people like Mark in the world.
These big babies were rescued off a neighborhood pond. Domestic ducks CANNOT fly. They are NOT a wild animal. They cannot survive on their own. Please please please stop dumping your ducks!! These guys were lucky enough to have been rescued before they were mauled or eaten by a wild animal.
Another big thank you to my friend Mark who has been transporting ducks for the third night in a row 😂😂🌟🦆
Book ’em, Daffy!
