Dog... Mom?
Opportunities
di Christina Nerimah
In this episode of Deeper Than Dogs, I’m sharing what it was like driving solo from Maryland to Texas with my dog, Kanna—again. From moving to Houston in 2023 to revisiting home, navigating road trips has become part of our story. I’ll talk about what I packed, what I’ve learned, the ups and downs of traveling with a dog, and the moments that made it all worth it. Whether you’ve taken a trip with your pup or are thinking about it, this one’s for you. What’s the furthest you’ve ever traveled with your dog—and what was the best or worst part?

In the third episode of Deeper Than Dogs, Christina explores the loaded label of “Dog Mom” and why it’s often dismissed. She opens up about turning 30 and reckoning with the life she imagined versus the life she’s living. With honesty and heart, Christina holds space for both the joy of raising her dog and the quiet grief of not yet becoming a mom. This episode is a tender reflection on identity, timelines, and learning to honor your own path.
In the second episode of Deeper Than Dogs, titled Opportunities, I reflect on how my dog Kanna never misses a moment to go after what she wants—whether it's a treat, a walk, or attention. Her boldness and instinct to seize every chance reminds me how often I hesitate or overthink. This episode explores what it means to live with more intention and curiosity, inspired by the fearless way Kanna moves through the world. Maybe the real lesson is that I need to be more like her.
In the first episode of Deeper Than Dogs, titled "Origins," I share the story of where I'm from and how I met Kanna. This episode sets the stage for the journey ahead, diving into the bond we share and how it gave me an unexpected destiny.
