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 eating, playing, sleeping and gets taken for long walks, then 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!
