Pulliam, took a job as the city\u2019s vegetation-management supervisor. He held that job for 22 years before retiring in 2003.<\/p>\n
Julie Pulliam worked 10 years in the accounting department at Enumclaw Hospital before she joined the City of Kent in 2001 as a customer-service representative in the finance department. Pulliam later worked as a captain\u2019s assistant in the police department before she was laid off during city cutbacks in 2003. She rejoined city staff about a year later as an administrative assistant.<\/p>\n
On weekends, the couple, who live in Enumclaw and have two grown sons, take their five Australian cattle dogs to shows and competitions throughout Washington and Oregon. In one such event, the dogs must herd sheep through a course in a certain amount of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all aware of her dogs and shows and competitions,\u201d Witham said. \u201cWe even have a calendar with the dogs hanging in the office.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pulliam proudly pointed out the calendar and quickly flipped through the pages of photos of Australian cattle dogs. She hopes one day she can get a dog into the Westminster Kennel Club show in New York.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the \u2018away from work me\u2019,\u201d Pulliam said.<\/p>\n
