Lolly's Story - Her First Public Interview with Q Magazine

 Lolly’s Story - Her First Public Interview with Q Magazine

Q: So Lolly, what can you tell us about yourself?

L: First, let me thank you for your time. Despite my difficult beginnings, I know the importance of politeness. Also to clarify, my original name given to me by a sponsor at the Beagle Freedom Project was spelled Lolli. My new folks, Giselle and Bill changed the “i” to a “y” in honor of their previous beagles Lizzy and Maggy.

Q: Where did you live before Freedom Fields in Nowato, Oklahoma?

L: I am told I was found in Alabama but am not sure where.

Q::What were you doing there?

L. Some horrible human kept me and several other beagles outdoors for hunting and breeding. 

Q: Were you ever allowed indoors?

L: As far as I know, I lived in a crate all year round. It gets cold in Alabama. Brrrr

Q: I am so sorry this happened to you. Were you ever used in laboratory experiments?

L: No, fortunately not.  Too many of my colleagues have been used in cruel animal testing. This needs to stop now. They have numbers tattooed under their floppy ears. So sad.

Q: How did Giselle and Bill find you?

L: After me and my friends were rescued from Alabama, my picture was put up on the Beagle Freedom Project’s web site. Giselle was looking for a female beagle my age, age four. She told me that Bill kept insisting on a puppy. She feels they are too old for a puppy. Miraculously, after Bill saw my picture, he agreed to explore adopting me. Giselle claims that their last beagle Maggy sent me to them to save their marriage. 

Q: So do you think you are a mother? 

L: This could be the case. We will find out after the vet checks me out this week. I was very overweight when I was rescued. I have already lost twelve pounds and look good. Some of my skin looks flabby. Hopefully, with proper diet and exercise, it will firm up.

Q: So what do you think of Giselle and Bill?

L: Giselle is very kind and gentle. She sometimes speaks to me in a  strange language. I think it is called French. She teaches it too. Bill is a jokester. I am still trying to figure him out. He adores beagles and thoughtfully keeps taking me out to pee so I am lucky that way.

Q: How do you feel about living in a home?

Q: Well, I am not sure what a home is. I do like hotel rooms, especially the space under the desk. I also don’t understand toys. Maybe that will change.

Q: I really enjoyed meeting you, Lolly. I wish you a happy healthy life with Giselle and Bill.

L: Thank you! All the best to you too.
