Ellie Mae
Office Mascot
Ellie Mae, our little cheagle (Mom was beagle; Dad was chihuahua), made her way into our hearts as a rescue from North Carolina and became the office mascot in March 2009. She’s grown since then but still works hard every day (sleeping!). So, if you hear snoring or barking in the background when you call, that’s our pup with the wagging tail and sleepy eyes. What a gift to have her around!
