Furbaby Friday🐾

Meet Betty! She’s an English Bulldog who’s almost 9 years old and full of personality. Betty belongs to our HRBP, Marquia. Marquia welcomed Betty into her family about two years ago after adopting her from a coworker.

One of Marquia’s favorite memories is watching Betty “happy dance” around the house, a sure sign she’s in a great mood.

Betty’s personality can be summed up as lazy, happy, food-motivated, and just a little ornery. She knows one trick: how to shake. She loves all treats, and as Marquia put it, “She is a fat girl.”

Above all else, Betty has a special talent: she can make just about anyone smile. 💛🐾
