Our hearts are heavy as we remember Chico, our big, sweet chocolate Lab who brought endless love, laughter, and life to our days. Chico took his “security” role very seriously—especially when it came to ensuring no one worked without giving him a few well-earned pets. His daily visits with his brother Duke were always an adventure, filled with excitement, tail wags, and that unmistakable spark of joy that only Chico could bring.

Chico was the ultimate attention-seeker, always reminding us when we stopped petting too soon and always knowing how to make everyone smile. Whether he was sneaking treats, barking at the cats, or simply spreading warmth with his gentle presence, Chico made our office—and our hearts—feel full.

Though his paws no longer pad through the halls, his spirit will forever linger here, reminding us to slow down, smile, and enjoy the simple moments. Chico wasn’t just our office companion—he was family. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
