Pets on the Payroll

This handsome fella is Freddy, more formally known as Frederick Horsford, named after the founder of the nursery he roams and protects (the name suits him well).
“He's our chipmunk hunter, morale booster and beloved Instagram model,” writes in Danielle, communications manager at Horsford Gardens & Nursery in Charlotte, Vermont. “He patrols the whole nursery, which is 100 acres, but always keeps a special eye on our fulfillment office. Freddy has been a part of our team for seven years and even has a framed photo on our staff picture wall. Freddy is a source of joy to the 55 staff members who love him here at Horsford’s, as well as many of our customers who visit him.” GP
