Commercial Real Estate VP Jim Lange and his family did the Ride on the Wild Side fundraiser at the Milwaukee County Zoo on Sept. 15. Jim, his wife, Elizabeth, and their daughters, 7-year-old Julia and 5-year-old Kristen, biked the two-and-a-half-mile route through the zoo twice. The girls are pictured above with their dad in front of the zoo’s North Shore Bank Safari Train Station. “It was cool and rainy, but we had fun,” Jim writes. “We got to see the animals before the zoo opened.”

“Rocky is trying to figure out which shoes he is going to eat next,” writes Westgate Universal Banker Tara Strom of her Shiba Inu. “Unfortunately, he chose my daughter’s! He just turned 4 and is still a monster, but how can you be mad at this cutie?” How indeed.

“We have four cats and two dogs, all of which we have rescued,” says Deposit Operations Specialist Jennifer Mooney. “The two kitties in the top picture are our newest addition. We had really planned on just one cat — but these two were rescued together, and we just couldn’t separate them. Mookie is the black-on-white kitty, and Mona has the long hair. The other photo is Paw Paw. I saw her photo on a rescue site for a shelter in Chicago and just had to have her! She is a silly sweet girl, and everyone who meets her falls in love. And how could you not — just look at those eyes!”
