“Princess has brought a better sense of communication to my marriage.
We discuss how we take care of her.
He takes care of the finances and I do the rest.
When I walk in my apartment at the end of the day, my stress doesn’t matter.
As long as I’ve got Princess, life is good.”
“The timing was right for us to get a dog.
We both grew up with families that had dogs and we knew down the road we wanted a dog.
We each wanted a dog (individually), but it was never the right time.”
“We argued about what kind of dog to get.
He really wanted a Husky, but I didn’t like the idea of a big dog in the city.
He did a lot of research and found the Alaskan Klee Kai.
The breed was started 30 years ago and is a cross between the Siberian Husky and the Schipperke.”
“It’s not so much a particular situation, but rather the process of loving her and sharing her with my boyfriend that has enhanced our lives.
Roxanne has awoken maternal instincts in me that I wasn’t aware I had.
She has shown me the I can be responsible and diligent if something is important enough.
She makes my boyfriend and me feel like a family.
I do a lot of the walking and feeding because I can, but when my boyfriend is home he adores her and they spend a lot of time playing together.
It’s wonderful to watch them.”
“There are always reasons not to, but in the end we decided to go for it.
Our hearts trumped our rational thought.
We always liked Dachshunds.
We joked about having one because they are funny and sweet.
I did a lot of research, as to avoid a puppy mill.
I read about what to ask breeders.”
“Having Koda is like having a kid together.
He adjusted pretty well after my dog died.
We treated him like he’s a member of the family.
He is never without us.
He travels with us, wherever we go.
The best of times with Koda, is when I am in NYC because walking around with him encourages me to explore areas I wouldn’t otherwise see.”
