ACC St. Louis Fur Babies! | |
-
Owner: Danielle Langeneckert

What are your pets' names? Kimchi (white, 12), Magju (brown, 6), Yeoja (grey, 2)

We welcomed our first fur baby, Sagwa (who passed in 2020), when my husband and I taught English in South Korea over a decade ago. His name was already given to him, and meant "apple" in Korean. He had a very strong Napoleon complex at only 4.5 pounds, so we kept with small pups when we wanted to grow our fur family. We also kept with the Korean naming theme - Kimchi is a fermented spicy cabbage, Magju means "beer," and Yeoja means "lady."
