## Resource

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.
