He's become one of our office mascots and his friendly, calm, loving demeanor makes him a hit with co-workers and office visitors alike.” Piper belongs to Art Director Dana Coleman. BLUE THE BOYKIN SPANIEL “Our dog, Blue, is unique for many reasons. First of all, he is a Boykin Spaniel, which is South Carolina's state dog. We named him Blue because when my youngest son, Conner picked him out, he was wearing a blue collar. He is 12 years old and is the best dog we have ever had! He is wonderful with our oldest son, Nate, who is autistic and developmentally delayed. He is the perfect dog for our family, and we spoil him rotten every day!” Blue belongs to Media Consultant Mandy Willis, her husband Jeremy and sons Nate and Conner Willis. SULLY THE SHIH-TZU “Sully has brought so much joy to our family. Our daughters wanted a puppy for years. My youngest daughter made us a bet that if she scored three goals in a soccer game, she would get a puppy. After a long season of losses and very few goals, she made it in the last game of the season! Sully fits in with our family so perfectly, we couldn’t imagine her not being ours.” Sully belongs to Brand Ambassador Stacey McLoughlin and her husband Hugh, as well as daughters Claire and Elaina McLoughlin. MABEL THE CALICO CAT “I adopted 9-year-old Mabel during my senior year of college. It took her some time to adjust to living with me and my friends in a dorm room after being in an animal shelter, but once she did, her personality shined through. She is shy but friendly, and begs to be petted. She’s an old lady who sleeps on a heating pad most of the time, but always makes time to sit with me while I write — and to yell for food, of course.” Mabel belongs to Managing Editor Allison Sherman.
