Finn RUFFING EXPERT
We are so glad Finn answered our ad for a smart, lovable intern who wanted to learn the construction business. It’s not every day you get a raw recruit with his amazing skill sets.
He knows “sit”, "lie down”, “paw”, “other paw” and “touchdown!” He is still having a bit of a hard time with “drop it”, but in fact that was the hardest one for most of our builders to learn. His favorite person is Ronna and he can be found loyally laying at her feet anytime she's here. Finn is also best friends with our mailman and looks forward to his daily visits.
OLIE - lives in Germany now! SECURITY OFFICER AKA "EL CHAPO"
Oliver sleeps all day and only barks when the mailman arrives so he can get treats! If you find yourself visiting the office, more likely Oliver will be part of the welcoming committee unless he is too tired and snoozing under someone's desk.
