The 52-year-old got emotional and teared up while speaking about their first year without Isaboo during Christmas. However, she found solace that her late pet had a tree of her own.

The scene then changed to show Ray at Isaboo's gravesite, using her hand to clear the built-up snow to reveal a bronze plaque etched with an image of Isaboo as she said, "here's my baby."

The star cook then recalled how the loving creature taught them empathy, unconditional love, and understanding. She concluded, urging her followers to open their hearts and homes to animals whenever they could.

Away from her love for late Isaboo, her family, and cooking, Ray keeps busy designing small spaces. Despite making fancy meals, Ray's favorite foods are burgers and dark meat.
