ELLIE MAE & KONA

If you drop by our office there is a good chance you will be greeted by these two. Ellie Mae and Kona love to be in the office with us, but you will always know they are there by the sign outside our door. We know not everyone loves four legged friends like we do, so when we have in office client meetings, these girls are usually put up in an office as a courtesy.
