Dear Mom and Dad,
Just wanted to check in and let you know that I am doing great, I do miss you but I have really settled in for my longterm stay.
The food situation? Incredible. I’m downing 4 cups a day now. Turns out the secret is a little warm water over my kibble (and maybe the fact that Lisa hides a “bonus treat” at the bottom of the bowl… but don’t tell her I know! )
My days are very busy with important Maggie-business:
• The Bone Project: I spend a lot of time hiding my chew bone in the corners. Lisa thinks she’s funny by putting it back in the middle, but I just consider it an extra workout to get it back to its “rightful” spot.
• The Kong Quest: I’ve mastered the art of rolling my Kong around. When there’s a liver treat inside? Game over. I’m on a mission!
• Zoomie Status: I’ve officially decided Lisa is okay. I trust her now, so I give her all the bounces and zoomies. I even wag my tail at all my kennel neighbors! I’m being a “cautious socialite”—polite and happy, just taking my time to fully join the party.
The only downside? Lisa’s singing. Honestly, Mom, it’s DREADFUL and old country from Valley Heritage Radio as that is the only station that tunes in. Send earplugs or a better Spotify playlist, really Mom, Henley the lab howls better then her‼️
Love and tail wags,
Maggie 🐾
