There plenty of new people in town, and also lots of new puppies and kittens. And anyone who has ever brought up a puppy or kitten will tell you that it’s an exciting time — sometimes too much so.
Like the time Roberta Weiss’ new puppy, Bun, picked up her diamond studs that she had left on a chair — and ate both of them.
Unfortunately, puppies and kittens ultimately get old(er) and we go eventually go through the extreme anguish of losing our beloved pets.
“But one thing does help,” says Geri Emmett. “I lost Miu Miu 6 weeks ago and was beyond sad. Then I thought: ‘Why be sad if there is a solution?’ And so another fur ball of joy entered the Mui world and lessened the missing.”
Here are a few Palm Beach people who have lost their beloved dogs and recently got new ones:
Cayetana Uranga and her dachshund Oskar
When you see and talk to Cayetana Uranga you immediately know that she is different.
But you might wrongly assume that her disability (cerebral palsy) has held her back in life. “Having CP has not stopped me from doing everything I wanted,” she said.
Born in Lima, Peru, she moved to Florida at the age of 10, where she quickly learned English. She later graduated from Lynn University, earning a minor in fashion management.
Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to design bikinis and open her own bikini shop. Currently, she applies her skills in marketing management. Her determination is evident in her active lifestyle, as she enjoys driving her car, horseback riding, and working out at the gym.
In addition to her professional pursuits, she is a prominent disability advocate, dedicating much of her time to her online presence. She manages her own website and engages with a substantial following on Instagram — find her at @justnotspecial, where she has amassed over 100,000 followers.
She also walks and plays with her dog.
Cayetana recently lost her dachshund Cookie. But now she has undertaken caring for a new puppy, which is difficult for anyone with or without a disability. She trains, walks, and plays with her new delightful dachshund named Oskar.
He’ll soon learn just how extraordinary Cayetana really is.
Two psychoanalysts and their surprising Maltese
There’s a Palm Beach couple who fly back and forth to China to lecture, although they sometimes conduct their lectures instead by Zoom. These days that’s not so unusual — except that they often lecture to as many as 30,000 people at once!
What they are talking about is psychoanalysis because this couple is teaching it to Chinese students and professionals. They’re the right people for that job because Dr. Arnold Richards and Dr. Arlene Kramer Richards are two of the most prominent psychoanalysts in America.
Dr. Arnold Richards is also the author of several books and articles as well as the recipient of many awards and recognitions. Dr. Arlene Richards has similarly received many awards and accolades — and she is also the author of seven children’s books.
The two love dogs, especially poodles. Their former poodle, Winston, died when he was one month short of 19.
So, they decided to get a new poodle puppy, and no, they didn’t name him Freud.
But when the “poodle” went for her first visit to the vet they got a surprise. The vet told them that she wasn’t the poodle the breeder promised.
She is a Maltese — but they love her anyway. They named her Maidel, which is from the Yiddish expression “shayna maidel,” meaning beautiful girl. And no, Maidel won’t go to China with them.
But she might look in on a Zoom call.
