Dear Lonesome Grove ...

"Just wanted to let you know that Dobby (Eli) had his first vet visit today, and he is as healthy as can be! The vet techs had a lot of fun with him and shared some photos to their Facebook page if you would like to check them out.
 
He did a great job on the way back to Fargo. We managed to make it home with no accidents! He was a little whiny, but we all were after spending five hours in the car.
 
He is adjusting well to being in our home. On his first night, he walked right into his crate and put himself to bed. We thought it was a fluke, but he did the same thing last night. He plays hard and sleeps hard, which has been good for him and our girls. He is so sweet and easygoing and has already brought a lot of laughter to our home. Thanks for giving him such a great start! We appreciate you."
 
Take care,
Bridgette (March 12, 2026)

"Warning: extreme levels of puppy cuteness ahead.
 
This little beagle pup made the rounds in treatment this morning and, well… productivity may have briefly dropped to zero. Every single person who walked by had to stop for a cuddle, a nose boop, or at least a quick “oh my gosh, look at this face!!”
 
Safe to say this sweet little visitor completely stole the hearts of the team today. We actually lost count of how many times someone said, “This is the cutest baby I’ve ever seen.”

Who else is a sucker for a floppy-eared beagle puppy? "

Dear Lonesome Grove ...

"I wanted to check in with you about Dexter (Jasper).

My goodness, he is so great.  Full of life....sweet, curious, spunky and when it suits him...he can be pretty chill. Dexter has established himself with our pack. It took about 2 weeks before they stopped treating him like he was radioactive. 

We are so grateful for the care you gave him and the rest of your pack. It shows in the temperament. He handles bath time and teeth brushing as well as can be expected. We are so close on potty training, seems like the accidents happen after play time.  He is doing ok with the crate training,  he's only in there overnight and short periods during the day. Only wakes to pee around midnight maybe once a week....and I usually am up anyway for the same thing, lol.  We are working on leash training...he hates it, so taking baby steps.
 
He's pretty spoiled, the toy box is ridiculous...he plays with everything. He is still dragging his Momma towel around too!
 
Jameson and Allie sure make some beautiful pups! Thank you again."

"One year ago our Loki (Riley) was born. We were lucky enough to reserve him when he turned 6 weeks old. Today we couldn’t imagine him not be apart of our family. Thank you!"

"Sadie Petunia will be celebrating her 13th birthday come September! She’s the kindest, calmest, loving and beautiful beagle there is. Everyone who meets her loves her! Recently we traveled through 9 states (1,300 miles one way) just to sit on the beach in Florida together. She honestly couldn’t have cared less, but it was an amazing trip and one I’m so glad I got to experience with her."

"I received a female puppy "Penny" (dob 4.22.2012). Sadly after almost 14 years we had to say goodbye to our beloved Lucy. She was loyal, sweet, always ready to go, obedient and always wanted to be near her human, even if I stopped to chat with a friend on a walk, she'd get closer by sitting on my feet. We will miss her terribly."

"Lucky" aka Nashville had his first birthday last month! On a very specific day. It was also my birthday! I am very blessed that God gave me a companion with an easy birthday to remember. 


He has mostly won over basically the whole block, bringing wiggles and wags to anyone who he wants to greet. Nashville had beef and carrot muffins for his birthday. He is growing into his 'baroo' and a bit territorial with male dogs and little dogs. Kids.

He is very spoiled! And has so many adventures planned for him. 

Blessings,

"Today marks the First Birthday for our beloved Barkley "Owen". It has been quite a year watching him grow and learn. Every day that goes by he seems to mature and learn. He is the Best!"

"It’s with a heavy heart we have to tell you that our Gus passed away on July 16. It’s been so hard on our family and we are still struggling with him gone. It felt so unexpected and it just feels like we should have had more time with him, but he was the best dog while we did have him. He was apart of the “M” liter born on 8/4/15. He was the best dog and brought our family so much joy."

"Today was a sad day, our little puppy Archie is now in doggie heaven. We had a lot of good years with him. He was born 10/03/2009 as part of the”A” litter. We picked him and kept his name as it was my grandfathers name too. He was happy and healthy puppy and brought us years of joy (and a few frustrating ones). He will be missed. He was a sweet loving dog."

~ Katie (August 6, 2025)

 

Side note from Dean & Tena: You may recall Archie from his stint at the Grove, as he was featured on a magnet we stuck to our vehicle way back in the day when we met up for puppy pickups (and owned a landline, lol). His memory continues to reside in our storage area, bringing a smile to our faces day after day.

Dear Lonesome Grove ...

Happy July 4th!

Maggie (Tess) wanted to say hello and let you know she is doing great since she left Lonesome Grove. She briefly donned a festive hat for this letter, but as is her habit, she quickly turned it into her favorite toy of the minute.

Maggie is doing great in Rapid City. She has traveled extensively, driving through multiple states to get to Arizona for a graduation, then multiple other states on the way back. Everywhere we stopped, she was a hit with the locals, loving the attention everyone lavished on her.

She has been working hard on her skills. Her intelligence is clear with her already mastering sit, lay down, shake, hi five, stay, come here, ring the bell to go outside, and going up/down the steps. The vet was very impressed with how much she knows at this young age. One of her favorite activities is picking daisy flowers from her mom’s garden. She also really enjoys digging in her sandbox to find buried bones and toys.

Maggie is especially good at bringing joy to people. We are so thankful we found Lonesome Grove and were able to adopt this wonderful Beagle. 

Sincerely,
Carol and Angie

"We just wanted to update you on Willow (formerly Allie) and Harper. The moment we brought Harper home, they were bonded and now, if one goes outside, the other howls until the sister returns. They play together, sleep together, and get into mischief together. They are truly a joyful addition to our family. 

We got Harper to keep Willow company after Elanor (Ally), also a Lonesome Grove beagle, passed last summer. Best decision ever. Thank you for loving and caring for these amazing little hounds."

"In what turned out to be our final walk together on Thursday, Lilly and I were greeted by the most gorgeous, vibrant double rainbow that I had ever seen in my life. She turned around to sniff some flowers, I followed her gaze, and BAM there it was, brilliant and beckoning, and I recall feeling in my gut at that very moment that it was a sign. A reminder of the Bridge and the sweet relief and joy that awaits good boys and girls when their journeys on earth are coming to an end. My awesome girl has been facing a growing mass in her lung for the last two months, and though she has consistently been her sweet self throughout her illness, in the past few days, especially that day (and rough overnight) I knew she was tired. The best girl in the world was ready to join her Grandpa where she would be welcomed with open arms, free from the coughing, labored breathing and pain; she was ready to frolic with her sisters and others who traveled to the bridge before her. I was NOT ready to let her go. And I agonized over the impossible decision. But I had been lucky enough to spend these last two months loving on and spending as much time with her as I could: on the walks that she ADORED (and would perk her up no matter how she was feeling), on the deck in the sunshine (she was my outdoor-loving girl from the very beginning on the day we brought her home at only nine weeks old), and with her wrapped in my arms while I rubbed her soft, silky, floppy ears that have always been my absolute favorite... I knew it was time. My girl is at peace. My heart, however, is shattered. My Lilly girl, I'll miss you forever."

"Otis (formerly Nate), has found his groove. He enjoys playing with his brother (Enzo), finally learning to share the dog beds!! He enjoys going for car rides and walks. He also enjoys laying across my legs to watch tv/nap. He has come to find his favorite place in the house on the front porch where he can see everything and lay in the sun."

Close to fifteen years ago you allowed us to take home our very loved beagle Oliver. Sadly Oliver left  us this week after a very loved life of almost fifteen years. We are so heartbroken and grateful for the many years we got, but selfishly wish we could have more. He was so loved.  

Oliver was part of the “O” litter (yes we kept his given name) born on May 24, 2010 to Bailey and Alex. He was our stubborn beagle boy, but he was gentle, loyal and a huge part of our family. He loved his life and we will forever miss and love our handsome boy. We just wanted to thank you for letting Oliver be ours.

Norah is 6 months old now and is the best puppy!! She's so sweet and smart! She loves to go for walks, snuggling on the couch, and running around with the kitties! We love her so much and are so thankful she's ours.

Thank you so much!!
