May featured Employee of the Month: SULLY BECCUE

Sully may be the youngest employee at Willow Branch, but he’s also been employed longer than any member of the Howling Alley Daycare & Boarding team — which honestly says a lot about his patience and commitment.

Sully is a true staple at Willow Branch. He’s well-rounded, respectful, hardworking, and somehow managed to survive being hired by Evan and managed by myself… which deserves recognition all on its own.

Between soccer, academics, and his many commitments, Sully always does an amazing job prioritizing what’s important and communicating well in advance when he needs time off. We love seeing him involved in so many things, and we love even more that he always finds his way back to us whenever his schedule allows.

He’s also the quietest member of the group chat by far — usually only appearing once every few weeks to make us ask, “Sully… do you even still work here?” 😅 But when he does chime in, (even if only to let us know there are no alligators in the Sangamon despite what Brian claims), it’s always worth it. For putting up with the rest of us, we’ve decided he’s earned the honorary title of Assistant Manager.

As Employee of the Month, Sully has earned:
-One large Chick-fil-A fry
-A Target gift card of unknown amount found at the bottom of my purse.
-and Bragging rights for the remainder of May

We appreciate you, Sully (pictured right)! Willow Branch wouldn’t be the same without you. 🐾

Everyone give a big Willow Branch Howling Alley welcome to our May Featured Pet of the Month… GG!

GG is a 7-month-old boxer mix who was nominated by Brenda and Tucker, and it didn’t take long for this sweet girl to win everyone over! From day one, GG acclimated quickly into the daycare routine and has become best buddies with all of our “regulars.” Her playful personality, friendly nature, and happy energy make her such a fun part of the pack every day.

We love watching GG grow in confidence, make new friends, and keep the play yard full of boxer-style zoomies and smiles! Congratulations, GG — we are so happy to have you as part of the Willow Branch family. Enjoy your free daycare day and treats on us!

Boone is on another level today, and I’ve had to use his middle name no less than five times. So that has me wondering, what’s your dog’s middle name? We know some of them already, if you aren’t sure of yours, you can ask us 😂🫣.

I will pick a commenter to win a toothbrush treat that can be picked up at our Monticello location. And if you don’t win, you can still come browse our collection of food and treats! We have great specials for May and a bunch of NEW treats arriving Monday.

Happy 4th Birthday to Boone — our optimum daycare bad boy, the manager’s son, and full-time agent of chaos. 🎉🐾

Boone has spent the last year perfecting his craft: causing a little wrecking havoc, looking completely innocent, and somehow getting away with all of it. A true professional.

Whether he’s stirring up trouble, rallying the crew, or living by the very clear rule of “no regrets, only zoomies,” Boone keeps daycare entertaining an anything but boring for everyone.

Shoutout to his ride-or-die besties Murphy, Goose, Fern, Yogi, Winnie, and Coco for helping make every day a little louder, messier, and way more fun.

Happy Birthday, Boone. May your day be filled with snacks, chaos, and absolutely zero accountability. 💙
