SUPPORT STAFF
Meet Wilson, my side-kick who was with me from June 2011 to April 2022.
He was a dedicated, loyal colleague whose energy and communication skills made our work environment positive and happy.
- Birthdate : April 20, 2011
- Demeaner : Mellow, until the word 'walk', 'park', or 'treats' was spoken.
- Bark : Ear-piercingly Loud
- Size : As big as a horse
- Nickname : Winston, ignores BooBoo
- Favorite Food : Everything
It's been a quiet office since his passing, but his spirit lives on.
Wilson had years of education and was constantly learning. The word 'no' was not in his vocabulary.
Over the years, he earned the following degrees:
Master Degree – Barkmouth University
Major studies included sleeping, eating, going for W.A.L.K's, and constant shedding.
Bachelor Degree – The Ruff Institute
This was a summer course in smudge window art. He was class valedogtorian.
Lab Doctorate – The School Of Labology
Major studies included swimming, endless hours of fetch, and sad face which he had down to a science.
Wilson was well-suited for his role in the business. Not only was he easily able to convey his needs at any time of the day (or night), he also provided office security.
He was always happy and provided a warm, fun atmosphere during work hours. He was truly an invaluable asset to this company.

Testimonials
Rae came onboard in 2005 to assist with our accounting for what was thought to be a year or two. Well, 14 years later and I wouldn't be without her. Her attention to detail and knowledge of TRAMS Travel Accounting System is one thing, but her inside and out travel knowledge of both wholesale and retail has proven invaluable. She organized our agent commission reports perfectly and our outside agents love it, and she keeps our numbers straight provides detailed information needed to run my business successfully.

Rae is a true numbers person who balances everything to a tee. Her attention to detail is critical in her line of work. In addition, when support these days is relegated to online chats or community forums, it's nice to know that when I call, she picks up. I LOVE that!
