51st EPISODE OF THE SMECKA PODCAST: Actress, mother, dog walker. Lucie Štěpánková on life alongside Kaira

In this episode of the Balíček podcast, we went for a winter walk with actress Lucía Štěpánková and her four-legged partner Kairo. We know Lucía from theater and TV, but this time we talked about what it's like to be a dog 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 pair, although, as she says, at home Kaira chooses who she will cuddle with and who she prefers to leave alone on the couch. In the podcast, we learn how their cohabitation goes, how much she spends on food per month, what her first (and last) big mischief was, and whether it is possible to spoil a dog too much.

Lucie also talks openly about raising children, how Kaira handles stress at home, and how she handles stress in her professional life. Sometimes it's because she has someone at home who always comes over, puts her head in her lap, and just eats. The episode is not only about dog ownership, but also about empathy, feeling 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 when your dog has broken glasses worth several thousand 🐾❤️.
