Welcome back to The Shihtz Show—the podcast about everyday life with a Shih Tzu who lives here rent-free and somehow ended up in charge.This week, Kuki's News Desk explores two stories from the ever-growing world of pet parenting.First, we look at how Gen Z is approaching pet ownership differently, spending more time, money, and attention on their pets than ever before.Then, we dive into the surprising rise of pet psychics—animal communicators who claim to connect with pets through telepathy, energy healing, and even conversations from beyond the rainbow bridge.In Kuki's Confession Booth, I admit how my opinion on dog strollers changed dramatically once I became a Shih Tzu butler.And for this week's Edit, we're revisiting Kuki's recent It-Place, Jenny & Moongchy, and sharing why his new summer carrier has become one of our favorite finds.Whether you're a devoted dog parent, a curious skeptic, or someone who's ever made a questionable purchase for your pet, this episode is for you.Follow Kuki on Instagram: @kuki.shihtzshowWatch visual episodes and clips on YouTube: The Shihtz Show

In this episode of The Shihtz Show, Kuki’s News Desk looks at what it really means to live well — from a dog who lived to 31 years in a small village in Portugal, to a 91-year-old woman in Brazil celebrating her birthday surrounded by ten dogs.We also share a New York moment, with a Central Park dog walk hosted in collaboration with The Dogist — a gathering that promises a wide range of personalities.In Confession Booth, I talk about how Kuki communicates his displeasure in very specific ways — and what that reveals about expectations, boundaries, and life with a Shih Tzu.And in The Edit, Kuki weighs in on matters of taste and standards, with this week’s It-Moment: staying in as an act of rain refusal.A little reflective, a little observational — and very much a study in how environment shapes behavior.New episodes every Tuesday.Follow Kuki on Instagram: @kuki.shihtzshow
