Jessi, the office dog!
And last but not least - here's Jessi the office dog. She was born in November 2013 and is a black Labrador.
She has a hard life consisting of fetching the paper in the morning, eat, play, sleep, get taken to the lake for a walk, sleep more, eat more, walk again. She's very smart and learns new tricks all the time! Her special trick is finding golf balls... hundreds of them here at Jack's Point!
