🐾 ACC St. Louis Fur Babies! 🐾 Say hello to Izzie, the delightful fur baby of Kristen James, General Counsel at True Manufacturing Co., Inc. 🐶❤️ ▪️ What is your pet's name? 🔸 Izzie ▪️ How did you get your pet? 🔸 Kristen welcomed Izzie into her home from a responsible breeder when she was just 8 weeks old. ▪️ What's the funniest or most memorable thing your pet has done? 🔸 Izzie is quite the foodie! She used to follow Kristen around with her metal bowl, making a racket to remind her it was mealtime. After breaking a ceramic bowl, her bowls are now fixed in place, and she makes a cute howling noise instead. 🐕 ▪️ What's the best thing about your pet? 🔸 Izzie has an incredibly sweet demeanor, and her whole butt wags when she’s happy. 💕 ▪️ Anything else our readers might appreciate? 🔸 Izzie loves watching Animal Planet, treats, car rides, Christmas morning, sitting in the shower or bathtub (without water), and park walks. Her least favorite things are baths and sharing mom’s attention or her toys. 🎄🚗🐾 #ACCSTL #inhousecounsel #legalops #FurBabies #DogLovers #PetSpotlight
