We like to call Echo lazy Grey. This Old English Bulldog does more sleeping than anything else. A quick trip around the block and she’s beat. She would much prefer a ride in the golf cart or trip around the lake in the boat over a walk. She loves coming into Kalamazoo Treadstone office to visit with everyone!

Luna is the polar opposite of her sister. She’s a high energy mini Aussie and runs circles around lazy Grey. She loves coming into the office and the neighbors clients frequently stop by to give her some pets.

Charlie, a sleek hunter at heart, spends her mornings stationed by the window, laser-focused on the unsuspecting chipmunks frolicking in the yard. She’s a “flight not fight” kind of feline, and wouldn’t hesitate to run away at the smallest noise. Her mornings have another ritual: a gentle (or not so gentle, depending on her mood) head nudge to Bob’s hand, a surefire way to ensure breakfast isn’t a moment too late.
Hi, my name is Willow. I am a Maltese mix – 46% Maltese, 29% Chihuahua (totally explains my attitude!), 25% “other” and I’m 100% spoiled! My mama says I’m a sweetie, so I’ve really got her fooled. I love to play fetch, make friends at the dog park, ride on the back of the tricycle with my mama (nose in the wind!), and I love to snuggle. I know I’ve got it good here, so I’m going to keep being the bestest girl…I’m a people-pleaser for sure – or maybe I just like the treats!
Hi, I’m Puck the “Puckster” I am always eager to run outside….and yes, I have spent many a night out there, but I always come back after frolicking in the neighborhood.
Hello, I am shy Unix, but my humans call me “Uni” for short. Try to catch me if you can, I only let you pet me when I am ready, and that’s usually when hungry. I was rescued from a shelter for Christmas because my little human said, “ I am going to rescue that kitty right there”.
Hey! I’m “new cat”, or “no name cat”. My little human has named me “Teto”, but I do not respond to any of those names. My human mom found me abandoned at the Walgreens parking lot and took me home to love. I am very playful with my new brother Puck. Brushing and lounging are my two favorite things to do then terrorize the family as I run around the house in the early morning hours. Oh Yeah, mom says if I don’t stop eating her plants, I may become an outside Cat. ☹

Even now, months later, a quiet sadness settles over James whenever he thinks of Charlie. The vibrant energy Charlie brought to his life, the goofy antics, the comforting presence curled at his feet – those memories are still so vivid, making the silence in the house feel even louder. He misses his best friend more than words can say.
