If you’ve been to the office or seen the back of one of our business cards, you know that Maddie Eberly plays a central role in the office. We are often asked about our 5-pound CEO (canine executive officer). Madeline (aka Maddie) is part cockapoo and part King Cavelier Spaniel, but all personality. So, we thought we’d let her speak for herself with a few questions.
