## Resource

This week on The Shihtz Show … Kuki covers the rescue of over 1,500 lab beagles now finding homes across the U.S., including New York and New Jersey. We also discuss the scientific “evidence” supporting dogs who sleep on the bed — news Kuki immediately accepted as official policy. In Confession Booth, we address Kuki’s strict nighttime contact requirements and why the butler can no longer fully stretch her legs. And in The Edit, we examine the surprisingly refined diet of an extremely picky Shih Tzu who rejects meals like a difficult food critic… yet somehow enjoys carrots, green beans, and air-dried beets while the butler survives on Trader Joe’s chips. Welcome back to The Shihtz Show — where the dogs have emotional requirements, the butlers have no personal space… and the household negotiations continue next Tuesday.
