EPISODE 51 OF THE SMECKA PODCAST: Actress, mom, dog lover. Lucie Štěpánková on life alongside Kaira

In this episode of the Smečka podcast , we went for a winter walk with actress Lucie Štěpánková and her four-legged friend Kaira. Lucie is known from the theater stage and television screens, but this time the main topic was what it's like to be a dog owner in everyday life.

Kaira is an Italian water dog, a Lagotto Romagnolo breed, and according to Lucie, she is the best dog in the world. Together they form an inseparable duo, although as she says, at home Kaira chooses who she cuddles with and who she prefers to leave alone on the couch. The podcast will tell you how their life together goes, how much they spend on food per month, what their first (and last) big pranks were, and whether it is possible to spoil a dog too much.

Lucie also spoke openly about her upbringing, how Kaira copes with stress at home and how she herself copes with stress in her professional life. Sometimes thanks to having someone at home who always comes over, puts her head in her lap and just be . The episode is not only about dog ownership, but also about empathy, perception of emotions and how much dogs can support us even in the most stressful moments.

There are also practical insights - for example, how much Kaira eats per month, what their relationship with other dogs looks like, or what to do if your dog chews your glasses worth several thousand.🐾❤️
