## Resource

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
