Ruby, Directory of SecurityRuby is a true Morel Ink employee success story. Adopted by Matt Witham, and then called Pumpkin, from the Oregon Humane Society in August 2010, the newly re-branded Ruby started her career as entry-level shop dog. Dedication to duty, long hours and an office romance with Bill Dickey elevated her to the position of Director of Security—a job she takes very, very seriously. So seriously in fact, that she now has a live-in 24/7 staffing position at the Dickey household. It should also be noted that nary a squirrel has been sighted within the Morel Ink offices since Ruby took over her duties. Off-duty, but seldom out-of-sight of Dickey – Ruby enjoys, well, she enjoys whatever Bill enjoys. This includes, of course, morel hunting, fetch, throw, sneak food when no one is looking and as much time as possible at lake of the Woods. |
