Thought and Mortar team member

Rudie

Good boi

The apple of Hayley's eye: Rudie brings fetch and fun and games to the office, offering lots of sniffs and opportunities for tummy tickles when the team is in need of a serotonin boost. He's happiest when sleeping under his hoomum's desk and keeping her feet warm.

Thought and Mortar team member

Teddy

Happy boi

Teddy will greet you with the biggest wriggly bum. He loves a good chase but once tired he'll be found under his human's desk. Like a typical lab, he has a one-track mind and will be your best friend if you have food, ever optimistic for the tiniest morsel and with those big brown eyes, it's hard to say no.
