Juno Rescued Beagle

Three years ago today we said good riddance to the laboratory n hello to grass n sky n freedom n belly rubs. For three years we have kept in touch. A lot of things can happen in three years it’s a long, long time. Like that’s how long it takes for Mommy to feed me every mornin or about the time it takes for her to get home every day. Cause n I miss her n wish she was here all the days so we could hike n she could give me belly rubs n we could take naps together n….what? … oh…  Mommy says I have digested n have to get to my points.. Sigh… 

Three years ago we didn’t know we could run outside n play n be silly n eat tax returns n flip flops. (Maybe that’s only me.) But now, three years later we know a lot of things. Like too much peanut butter can make u roundish n groundhogs bite back if u try to shake them. They’re also really kinda the same size as me. Maybe I should stick to chasin squirrels n… I knowww my points….

Three years ago we felt grass for the first time n it felt icky on our feet. I still don’t like wet grass but mostly cause it’s wet. In three years we’ve all been learnin n some days there’s still new things we find out. It’s fun to find out stories about my brothers n sisters n know that, like me, they’re just bein dogs. Some like to dance, like my sister Avery, who lives far away but still sends me pictures n stories. She must be as technologically advanced as me! Some, like my sister Lucy love to eat treats n never stop movin at about a million miles n hour. There’s Bella who is the boss of all the other doggies. Good job Bella!! Oh n Harriet, my best friend n sister who knows all the right words to say to convince a fancy hotel to allow her to come with me for a special conference in the fall. Our Mommy’s called it a propelling letter. There’s also Skipper n Justice who know exactly how to be brave now when the garbage truck goes crashin by, well mostly. Let’s not forget Lacey, who luvs luvs luvs gettin belly rubs from everybodies. And of course, Tutti who has had prolly a worser time than anyone. She’s a-ok now though. And Star, my first roommate at the sanctuary. She luvs to curl up n watch TV with her family. Her favorite channel is the food network, I understand. Oh n don’t think I forgot about my foster brother Cooper. He’s livin the good life now far away but he luvs his home n family. There’s also Grace n Sally n Timothy n two Shiloh’s n of course Freedom. Buddy n Princess n Thomas n Bonnie n Madison n Puddy n Fred n Fargo n Livingston n Baci n Buster n Merlin n Clara n Jeter n Boonie n Quinn n Foreman. I know there r more out there but I haven’t found u yet.. I will. 

Let’s never forget Oliver, Walter or Louisa who will all be waitin for us on the other side. We miss u n luvs you a lot. 

The one thing that all us Freegles have in common is food…. No kiddin… well, not really. Sorry Mommy… The one thing u could notice if u looked is that we’re all just regular cuteish  beagles now.  It took a while but we all know that exactly in the middle of the human bed is where beagles are supposa sleep. If u looked at any of us u may never know where we came from. Unless my Mommy grabs you in the ear to tell you my story, you would only notice how cute I am. 

As we being our fourth year of freedom we  think of all the animals still in laboratories n work to help them find sanctuary. We want the labs to know that lettin the beagles go free is a really good thing cause we can learn quick how to just be dogs like all of my brothers n sisters. In year four we promise to work even harder to help other beagles find their sanctuaries n will be callin on all of our friends to help us. 

But for right now Imma just think about birthday cake today n wish happy freedom/birthday to all of my Freegle brothers n sisters. Today is our day so go n run zoomies like the wind, dig a big hole in the garden n make sure u get the biggest piece of birthday cake ever. Keep bein regular dogs n remember, I luvs u all. 

Luv n Wags,

Juno
