With his one eyeball, Broozer oversees the staff and ensures they are always prepared for a lap session. Hunter takes her duties of protecting everyone from the mailman VERY seriously. Joey, the behind-the-scenes cat, can usually be lured out from his desk drawer for the right price—a bunch of yummy snacks! And Angelique is always ready to help everyone get their daily dose of exercise.
