Episode 10: Robot Dogs, Missing Wheels & Selective Hearing

Episode 10: Robot Dogs, Missing Wheels & Selective Hearing

On this week's episode of The Shihtz Show: 🐾 Kuki reports on Steve, a paralyzed dog in Denver whose stolen wheelchair was replaced thanks to a generous local company. 🤖 Robot dogs are helping rescue teams in dangerous situations, prompting Kuki to consider a career change. Unfortunately, the job requires listening, arriving on time, and coming when called. 🙏 In Kuki's Confession Booth, we discuss a command he knows perfectly well—but chooses to treat as optional. 🥕 And on The Edit, Kuki reviews air-dried rabbit treats, proving once again that finding a snack he approves of is less shopping and more casting call. Plus, Kuki shares his thoughts on compliance, people-watching, and why management never really takes vacation.

Kuki Goes International

The World Cup is coming to our area, puppies are getting their own soccer tournament, and Kuki is preparing for something even more important... His first trip to Spain. This week on Kuki's News Desk, we look at dogs joining the World Cup excitement and discover which country is home to one of the world's most valuable soccer clubs. In Confession Booth, I admit why I'm slightly nervous about flying with Kuki after his less-than-successful experience on his only previous flight. And in The Edit, we talk about the travel item that has suddenly become the most important object in our household. As always, life with Kuki involves paperwork, negotiations, and a Shih Tzu who believes the rules are for everyone else. Follow Kuki on Instagram: @kuki.shihtzshow New episodes every Tuesday.

Episode 8: Would You Hire a Pet Psychic?

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.

The Shih Tzu Intelligence Debate | Episode 7

This week on The Shihtz Show… Kuki responds to the internet debating whether Shih Tzus are secretly geniuses or simply very committed to selective listening. We discuss Kelly Ripa defending Shih Tzus on live television, a rescue story involving over 50 Shih Tzus near Austin, Texas, and Kuki’s extremely specific barking preferences toward younger, smaller, and female dogs. Plus, Kuki discovers a new favorite pet store in New Jersey… and immediately behaves like a silent investor with full financial confidence. Hosted by Daisy, overworked butler to a Shih Tzu who lives here rent-free and still acts like ownership. New episodes every Tuesday.

The Emotional Cost of Loving Dogs Too Much | Episode 6

On this week’s episode of The Shihtz Show, Kuki´s butler spirals emotionally into the world of dog longevity… and realizes she would probably do almost anything for more healthy years with Kuki. From longevity pills and AI pet collars to dog cloning and the rising emotional economy of pet parenting, this episode explores just how deeply people love their dogs — maybe a little too much. Kuki also attends The Dogist walk in Central Park, silently judges strangers from his carrier, and once again reminds everyone that being a picky eater is apparently a full-time personality trait. Plus: • The Dogist & dog lover culture • Why Kuki rejects food before accepting it • Freeze-dried meal toppers that save the butler’s sanity • Emotional support via side-eye Kuki has nothing more to add today. 🎙️ New episodes every Tuesday.
