Minnie

In the corner of the room, her bed lies still,
No more the gentle paws that roamed at will.
Minnie, our friend, with eyes so kind,
Left paw prints of love on every mind.

Her wagging tail, a welcome so bright,
Turned long workdays into pure delight.
She'd sit by our side, a comforting guide,
In her quiet way, she was our pride.

Her little nose would nudge for a treat,
Or curl up beneath us, so warm, so sweet.
Now the office feels a bit less whole,
For Minnie brought joy that filled the soul.

Though she’s gone, her spirit stays,
In every corner, in countless ways.
We miss her dearly, her love so true,
Minnie, our friend, we’ll always miss you.

 

 

 

 

Lottie

Lottie is our rescue dog. She is a Portuguese podengo mix and she is very happy to be with us in the office. She enjoys many cuddles, kisses and treats from everbody underneath their tables!
