C’mon Conquer — Studio Manager
Racer, champion, survivor, free-spirit... these are the words that come to mind when describing Conquer, our retired racing greyhound who is a nearly permanent fixture on our studio sofa. Conquer is responsible for scheduling our breaks, walks, feeding periods and petting sessions. She loves squirrels, running, sleeping and peanut butter. And she also does the phones.
