Ray Roy is also responsible for making sure that any new visitor never goes unannounced or unnoticed. He is also responsible for consultation to the ARG team during zoom meetings. When Ray Roy isn’t busy keeping the team in line, he’s begging for more dog treats or stretched out on Ashley’s desk for a quiet nap.

Teddy's life is a whirlwind of excitement and cuddles! When she's not on the prowl for squirrels, rabbits, birds, or even the occasional armadillo and deer (yes, she's a bit of a tomboy), she's indulging in her favorite sweet potato treats. Her days are filled with high-energy rough housing with Ray Roy (who's always the reluctant participant) and endless playtime with her toys.
