Dear Lonesome Grove ...

"Gary and I wanted to let you know that sadly, Elanor, who was almost 12 years old, passed away today. She was diagnosed with Transitional Cell Carcinoma in her bladder about 2 weeks ago and we tried drugs and were going to do an ultrasound this week, but she got worse quickly over the weekend, so we made the hard decision to let her go. She was an amazing beagle who went through a lot, and we will always love her dearly. Thank you for trusting her to our care.

On a lighter note, Willow (Allie) is 9 months old and maturing into a sweet young lady. I've attached a recent photo of her and also a screen shot of a Twitter post by an account that calls itself The International Journal of Beagle Facts -- they featured a puppy pic of Willow a few days ago, so now she's famous.

We love Willow very much and I'm sure she misses Elanor already. I'm considering getting Willow a beagle puppy playmate, whenever you have puppies available again, so I'll be checking your web site.

Just wanted to update you on the two pups and thank you again for your excellent care of these beagles."
