Meet Boris! He belongs to Abby, one of SVSU’s payroll specialists. When Boris was just a little boy he unwrapped a chocolate bar to find a golden ticket! He then went, along with his Grandpappy Turtle, on a kooky adventure, ultimately claiming ownership of a pretty swanky chocolate factory. He ended up stepping back from the day to day details of running the business, but they still send him plenty of sweets to enjoy in his vacation tank here in Vermont!

This is Fetty – he belongs to Joe, one of SVSU’s payroll specialists. Fetty enjoys the simple pleasures of life. He believes that there’s nothing a strong cup of coffee and a fresh pressed suit won’t fix. When it’s time for Fetty to relax, he puts on his most comfortable bow tie, kicks his feet up, and silently tortures the birds flying by his window. That’s the life.

Meet Harley. This bad boy belongs to SVSU Payroll and Benefits Manager Laurie. Harley is pretty hard core, one may even say he’s bad to the bone. His hobbies include riding on his Harley, chompin’ on some nice meaty bones, and strutting around town in his leather jacket.

She has traveled the world, strutting her stuff on the cat walk in Paris, Milan and New York. Mia always comes home at night though, loving a good cuddle and a scratch behind the ear.
