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
