Podcasts about Shih Tzu

Dan Bongino has built an entire persona on being the tough-talking, truth-sniffing, deep-state-busting warrior who's supposedly unafraid to charge into the darkest corners of American corruption. Yet when the Epstein files finally landed on his desk—after years of him teasing their explosive contents and promising that he, unlike all the cowards in the room, would expose everything—he folded faster than a cheap suit at a clearance sale. Instead of the crusader he advertised, we got a man suddenly terrified of his own shadow, suddenly deferential to “protocol,” suddenly convinced that nothing in Epstein's orbit pointed to trafficking networks, financial malfeasance, or co-conspirators. His audience was expecting the pit bull he portrays on air; what they got was a Shih Tzu hiding behind government talking points. And that's the hypocrisy that burns brightest: the guy who built his brand screaming about elite protection rackets turned into the loudest voice assuring everyone that Epstein was just a “lone pervert,” as if the photos, the lawsuits, the settlements, the flight logs, the financial ties, and the emails simply evaporated.Worse, Bongino's silence isn't the silence of someone who doesn't know—it's the silence of someone who does. A former Secret Service agent and self-styled insider absolutely understands the magnitude of a case involving international trafficking, intelligence links, financial networks, and political entanglements. He knows that the official narrative is a thin, flimsy shield covering a mountain of rot, yet he has chosen to pretend the mountain doesn't exist because acknowledging it would force him to confront the very institutions and figures he's built his career defending. That's the real betrayal here: not just to the public, but to the survivors whose stories he casually sidelines. Dan Bongino didn't just fail to expose the Epstein network—he became part of the insulation around it, an amplifier of the same dismissive messaging the powerful rely on when their secrets get a little too close to daylight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Welcome to I Like Movies, this episode we discuss the 2014 Christopher Guest classic Best in Show - this Shih Tzu goes up to eleven.

Like many episodes of The GoodKind Podcast, we're talking about family today... specifically about the furry friends that might (or might not) be considered family, too. Clayton, Amy, and Chris are wading into the wildly opinionated world of pets — from Christmas-card dogs to pet strollers to whether animals have “personalities” or souls. What starts as a silly debate (“Are pets human?”) turns into a surprisingly reflective conversation about companionship, responsibility, family rhythms, and why so many people invest deeply in their animals.The hosts discuss the fine line between domestication and humanization, why dogs are basically analog antidotes to screen time, and the unexpected ways pets can teach gentleness, care, and even play. They share their own pet histories — from Chicken Alfredo the dog to Lucy the portrait-taking Shih Tzu — and wrap with the real benefits pets can bring to a home when kept in the right perspective.This episode is equal parts comedy, conviction, and honest parenting conversation. Whether you're a dog devotee, a reluctant pet parent, or a “hard no” on lizards in Christmas photos…you'll find something to laugh about (and maybe rethink).TakeawaysPeople often treat pets as if they're human—and that's a genuine cause for concern.Domestication has historically been functional; “pets as companions” is a modern phenomenon.There's a difference between a pet and a replacement for human connection.Pets can provide non-screen fun, play, and even stress relief.Caring for an animal can teach kids gentleness, responsibility, and empathy.Dogs can bring families outdoors, increase activity, and promote healthy rhythms.Pets introduce joy, consistency, and analog moments in an overly digital world.

When Cookie, a 14-year-old Shih Tzu, passed away at 2.10am, his family panicked. The vet was closed, there was no clear hotline to call, and they refused to treat a beloved family member like an object to be discarded. That moment of helplessness revealed a hidden gap in Singapore’s booming pet-loving culture: what actually happens after a pet dies? On The Right Business, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Rachael Tay, co-founder, Everpet who set out to transform one of the most overlooked services in Singapore: pet aftercare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They call it greedy. We call it boundaries. This is Greedy Bitch — where groomers stop settling, stop explaining, and start living life on their own terms. I'm your host, River Lee — and listen, if your hands hurt, your phone won't stop buzzing, and your clients are already asking to be squeezed in before the holidays… friend, I feel you. We are about to be in the thick of it. It's the season of over-caffeinated chaos. Fur is literally everywhere. You've got bows in places bows were never meant to be. And somehow, even with all this “holiday cheer,” you're starting to feel… tapped out. Because here's the thing no one tells you about gratitude season: it can make you forget your own limits. You start thinking, “I should be thankful. I should say yes. I should just push through.” But that's not gratitude — that's martyrdom dressed like a turkey. True gratitude doesn't mean saying yes to everything. It means respecting yourself enough to say no when you need to. So today, we're going to talk about something most groomers struggle with — especially this time of year — and that's boundaries. Because friend, boundaries are not mean. Boundaries are not selfish. Boundaries are how you say, “I'm grateful for what I have — and I want to protect it.” So grab that cold cup of coffee from this morning, take a deep breath, and let's talk about how “no” can actually be the kindest form of “thank you.” Let's be real. Groomers have a hard time saying no. Some of us will spend hours dematting a dog so we don't have to send them home as a shaved naked sacrificial lamb for the holidays… Then someone squeezes in that once a year husky or the doodle who canceled the last 2 months appointments… then, SURPRISE! They have to get in now because it's an emergency. It seems like the holidays mean handling cranky clients —God forbid you tell someone you can't squeeze them in? That you'll have to shave their dog like a naked mole rat? Suddenly we're hiding in the back room so we don't have to make eye contact with the customer we know is going to be pissed or turning the ringer off so you don't have to avoid the call from ‘you know who.' Why? Because we're scared. Scared of losing clients. Scared they'll bad-mouth us online. Scared they'll think we don't care about their pets we sacrifice so deeply for. And then there's the guilt. “Oh, they've been coming here forever.” “Oh, their dog's so sweet, I'll just squeeze them in.” “Oh, it's just one more little Shih Tzu — what's the harm?” The harm is your sanity. Every “just one more” chips away at your patience, your body, and your joy. And let's not forget the soft yes. You know the one: “Let me see what I can do.” “If someone cancels, I'll call you.” Or my personal favorite: “I'll try to fit you in somewhere.” No you won't. You're already booked up to your eyeballs. You're lying to yourself out of guilt. Here's what happens — you say yes out of kindness, but then you're angry the whole time you're grooming that dog. You try to smile when they come to pick up but you know they don't actually appreciate how much you did for them. You're rushing, your back hurts, you're starving, and you're muttering under your breath like, “I swear, next year I'm not doing this again.” But you will — unless you start recognizing that saying yes to everyone else means saying no to yourself. You think you're being grateful, but what you're really doing is giving your peace away in tiny little pieces — one soft yes at a time. And listen, if you've ever found yourself crying in your car between grooms, eating gas station snacks for lunch, and wondering why you're so tired — it's not because you're weak. It's because you've been saying “yes” when your soul and body has been begging you to say “no.” Alright— let's reframe this whole thing. What if saying “no” was actually the most loving thing you could do? Think about it this way: When you say no to an overbooked day, you're saying yes to the dogs already on your table. You're saying yes to doing your best work. When you say no to last-minute chaos, you're saying yes to your health, your family, your peace. That's not rejection — that's respect. Boundaries are love with structure. You know how we have grooming loops to keep dogs safely on grooming tables and in tubs? Boundaries are the emotional version of that. They keep your career from falling off the table. Let me tell you a quick story. A few years ago, I had a client — sweet lady, older and a terrible planner. Every thanksgiving AND christmas, she'd call me in a panic: “Oh River, I forgot to book! Can you just squeeze in Bailey? Just this once?” And every year, I'd cave. I'd stay late, skip dinner, and tell myself, “It's fine, it's the holidays.” One year, I was so behind that I actually forgot to eat for 12 hours. I was shaky, dehydrated, and trying to not shave down the ancient skin tag riddled bichon because ‘surely this is the last time' while convincing myself I was being kind. Spoiler alert: I wasn't. I was exhausted, cranky, and if I'm honest, Bailey could feel it. The following year, I said no. Kindly. Firmly. “I'm so sorry, I'm not accepting grooming clients in November or December if they had not received a full groom in September or October. Let's pre-book for next time so this doesn't happen again.” She huffed. She whined. And then? She booked ahead. Because clients adjust to the boundaries you teach them. That's when it hit me: Every time you say yes to something that hurts you, you're teaching clients that your time and energy don't matter. But every time you say no with confidence, you teach them that they're working with a professional — not a pushover. Boundaries don't scare away the right clients. They filter out the wrong ones. Alright, let's talk about how to actually do this. Because it's one thing to nod along, and it's another to hit “send” on that text that says, “I can't fit you in.” Here's where to start: Step one: Decide your limits before the chaos hits. Know the last booking date before the holiday. Are you working the morning of thanksgiving? Are you closed christmas eve morning? Then decide limitations like no full grooms the week of Thanksgiving or Christmas. Maybe set limits of how many dogs per day you'll groom and see what feels healthy. Write it down — because when you're tired, when you feel pressure, your boundaries get fuzzy. Step two: Communicate clearly. You can be kind and firm. Try something like: “Hey! I'm fully booked for the holidays, but I'd love to add you to my cancellation list or get you on the schedule for January.” That's not rude — that's clear boundaries. Step three: Use your tools. Post booking reminders on social media. Use automated messages. And if writing those texts stresses you out — don't worry, I've got you covered. I created a Free Holiday Boundaries Script with word-for-word responses for every “Can you squeeze me in?” and “But I forgot to book!” message you'll get this season. You can grab it right now at SavvyGroomer.com/HolidayBoundaries Step four: Enforce your boundaries. Once you set them, stick to them. Because if you don't respect your own limits, no one else will. You teach people how to treat you — and that includes your clients. Before we wrap up, I just want you to remember this: Boundaries are not barriers — they're bridges. They connect who you are to the life you actually want to live. When you say “no” from a place of love, you're saying, “I want to keep doing this career I adore, without losing myself in it.” That's not selfish. That's sacred. So this week, I want you to pick one small boundary to hold. Maybe it's no texting after hours. Maybe it's saying “no” to a same-day request. Maybe it's taking a lunch break — a real one, with food that didn't come from a gas station or dunkin donuts. Whatever it is, do it for you. Because gratitude without boundaries is just burnout in a cute outfit. You deserve peace. You deserve rest. And you deserve to be respected — by your clients and by yourself. Alright, that's it for this week's episode of Greedy Bitch. If this hit home, share it with a fellow groomer who needs permission to say “no” without guilt. And don't forget to grab your Free Holiday Boundaries Script at SavvyGroomer.com/HolidayBoundaries Until next time — stay grateful, stay gritty, and as always… stay greedy, bitch.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabia una vez enn los salones celestiales, donde los pensamientos se convierten en melodía,  la luz no proyecta sombra y el tiempo se pliega como pétalos dejando que las emociones floten libres, un ángel sin nombre  que fue convocado por el Consejo de la Alegría. Allí frente al consejo oyo como el anciano del viento le decía. Los humanos han olvidado como recibir alegría sin condiciones  La tierra, necesita un nuevo tipo de consuelo: no uno que hablara, ni que predicara, sino uno que simplemente estuviera, irradiando dicha sin palabras.—Escoge tu forma —le dijeron—. Debes vivir entre los humanos, ser parte de sus días, de sus hogares, de sus silencios. El ángel escuchó. Su misión no era salvar, ni corregir, ni iluminar. Era estar. Ser presencia. Ser pausa. Ser caricia.El ángel descendió por la espiral de los vientos y observó. Vio niños llorando en rincones, ancianos solos en parques, parejas que discutían por cosas pequeñas. Vio también risas, abrazos, juegos... pero notó que la felicidad era frágil, como una pompa de jabón.Entonces, en una plaza en una tarde de otoni, vio a una anciana sentada en un banco. A su lado, un pequeño perro de pelaje blanco y dorado, ojos redondos como botones y hocico chato, la miraba con devoción. No pedía nada. Solo estaba allí. La mujer le hablaba como si fuera su nieto, su confesor, su memoria. y el perro, sin decir palabra, parecía entenderlo todo.El ángel supo.—Quiero ser eso —dijo—. Quiero ser un Shih Tzu.Y así fue.Nació en una camada de cinco, en una casa modesta. Lo llamaron Lilo sin saber que su nombre era más antiguo que las estrellas. Tenía el andar saltarín, la lengua siempre afuera, y una mirada que parecía decir: “Estoy aquí para ti”.Donde iba, dejaba una estela de calma. Los niños dejaban de llorar al acariciarlo. Los adultos, al mirarlo dormir hecho ovillo, recordaban que la ternura también es una forma de resistencia. Los ancianos lo sentían como un guardián silencioso, un compañero que no juzga ni exige.Lilo no ladraba mucho, pero cuando lo hacía, era como si dijera: “Estoy contigo. Todo está bien”.Cada noche, cuando todos dormían, Lilo  se sentaba frente a la ventana y miraba las estrellas. En su interior, aún recordaba el Reino de la Luz. A veces, sus ojos brillaban como si recibiera mensajes. A veces, sus patas se movían como si danzara con seres invisibles.Dicen que los niños que lo miraban fijamente podían ver cosas que no sabían nombrar: recuerdos de otras vidas, promesas de futuros dulces, abrazos que aún no habían ocurrido. Fue tal la experiencia que estaban teniendo en la tierra con aquel Angel llamado Lilo que los sabios del consejo de la felicidad en el cielo decidieron que a partir de aquel momento todos los ángeles que fueran enviados a la tierra tendrían que tener la forma de un cachorro ya que nada en el mundo podía transmitir tal alegría como un perrito. . Y una grupo de ángeles han vivido en muchos  hogares, siempre llegando justo cuando alguien más lo necesitaba. Un niño con pesadillas. Una mujer que acababa de perder a su madre. Un hombre que había olvidado cómo reír. A todos les enseñan a jugar de nuevo, a detenerse, a mirar el mundo con ojos de botón.Y así cuando Lilo recorre las calles con su familia claramente sabe reconocer a otro ángel y se le acerca a olerlo como un saludo de una logia secreta. Todos vienen del cielo. Y sabe lilo que cuando su cuerpo de Shih Tzu sea como las hojas del otono, cuando sus patitas ya no corran como antes, se recostara bajo un árbol y mirara al cielo agradeciendo los anos de felicidad que habrá regalado. Y desapar

In this heartwarming episode of The Dog Behind The Human, Dog Coach Francis shares two powerful letters from listeners whose lives were turned upside down — and ultimately transformed — by their dogs.Story 1: “Kiko Time”Lianne, a marketing assistant from Quezon City, thought she was just fostering a rescued aspin. What began as a temporary setup turned into a journey of torn shoes, missed meetings, and unexpected healing. Kiko didn't just interrupt their calendar—he became the heartbeat of their home.Story 2: “The Suitcase Moment”Carla, a longtime listener, opens up about relationship struggles, silent drift, and how one stubborn Shih Tzu named Buster jumped into a suitcase… and saved something worth holding on to. This is a story about love, reconnection, and the quiet ways dogs keep us grounded. Coach Francis reflects on how dogs don't fix our problems — they reveal what matters. From disrupting emotional spirals to becoming the quiet glue that holds everything together, this episode is a reminder that even the smallest dogs can teach us the biggest lessons.Listen now to uncover the messy, magical stories of the dogs behind the humans — and maybe, find your own story within theirs.

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about digital overwhelm. Are you feeling digitally overwhelmed? So much of our communication these days happens virtually, which inherently feels more performative and high-pressure. If you're already prone to impostor syndrome, you may feel even more like a fraud in these environments. But it doesn't have to be this challenging. My guest this week is Craig Mattson, professor of communication at Calvin University, who shares his research on work culture in our digital age, which inspired his book, Digital Overwhelm: A Mid-Career Guide to Coping at Work. Here we discuss the added stresses and self-doubts that come with communicating virtually. We also explore strategies to maintain confidence, leverage our existing strengths and communicate with greater intentionality.About My GuestProfessor Mattson taught and conducted research for 20 years at Trinity Christian College on the south side of Chicago, where he and his wife brought up four children. Now, having moved to Grand Rapids, Craig and Rhoda enjoy hiking, playing racquetball, and walking their Shih Tzu, an extremely timid creature named Chaucer. Craig writes quite nearly every day of his life and enjoys reading hard books in the company of good-humored folk.~Connect with Craig:Website: https://www.themodeswitch.com/~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

Lots of tears on Kelly Ripa's show today as she shared news that her beloved dog that appeared regularly on her show has passed away. Ripa says for the last 17 years the Shih Tzu named Chewie was an amazing companion to her family and losing her has been beyond tough. And President Trump's comments that he wants to take over war torn Gaza and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” caused lots of mouths to drop around the world. Many thought he had to be joking, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Plus, with news Donald Trump will be the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, security is being beefed up to a whole new level. More than 2,000 federal agents are working alongside the New Orleans Police Department. And egg prices skyrocketed to as much as 19 dollars a dozen due to bird flu wiping out millions of chickens. Now comes this...thieves stealing 100,000 eggs being transported to grocery stores. The stolen eggs are worth 40,000 dollars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mark and Andy Hooser discuss everything from Pit Bulls and Shih Tzu's to ElonMusk and Tulsi Gabbard. A fun Monday broadcast to kick off the first full week of 2025. Does Elon Musk really get it when it comes to the right to bear arms? The consensus is yes. Musk would be unable at this point to walk back his firm and publicly made statements in support of the right to bear arms and freedom of speech, much like Tulsi Gabbard. With Dementia Joe Biden signing a flurry of EO's designed to thwart the incoming Trump administration efforts, would he go so far as to move against the 2A with some sort of additional EO before his departure, also?

Join hosts Daniel, Ashlee, and Ashley as they delve into a controversial and heartbreaking incident in Sturgeon, Missouri. The Board of Alderman has launched an administrative investigation into police officer Myron Woodson after he shot and killed a blind and deaf Shih Tzu named Teddy, fearing the dog may have had rabies. In this episode, we'll discuss the body camera footage obtained by KOMU 8, which shows Woodson's encounter with Teddy and the subsequent tragic decision to shoot the dog after several failed attempts to capture it. We'll explore the community's response, including a petition with over 53,000 signatures calling for Woodson's removal and a federal lawsuit filed by Teddy's owner, citing a violation of the Fourth Amendment. We'll also cover the city's announcement of a third-party investigation, the confidentiality of the investigation's details, and the temporary leadership change in Sturgeon following Mayor Kevin Abrahamson's resignation. Tune in to hear more about this emotional case, the legal implications, and the ongoing community impact. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/animalcontrolreport/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/animalcontrolreport/support

In today's episode, we dive deep with Julie Plagens, author of "Marriage Interrupted" and "Estranged," as she shares her remarkable journey of overcoming family estrangement and healing from Crohn's disease. Julie's story is one of finding faith, setting boundaries, and learning the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. From growing up in a family that shifted from extreme partying to extreme legalism, to walking away from her family for seven years, Julie's path is filled with lessons on navigating family dynamics, mental health, and spiritual growth. Bio: Julie Plagens is a wife, mom, teacher, author, and blogger. Before she married, she taught speech, drama, and English in the Richardson Independent School District. After marriage, Julie homeschooled her two children for a short stint and quickly realized that a school setting was probably better for everyone involved! Julie has volunteered regularly in South Texas doing VBS, construction, and door-to-door witnessing. Now that her children are grown, she works for her husband, writes, and speaks about her books, Marriage Interrupted and Estranged. Julie and her husband have been married for 30 years and live in Texas with their very crazy, 6-pound Shih-Tzu.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Canada to discuss one of the country's most tragic stories... the senseless and brutal murder of Victoria "Tori" Stafford. Tori was a spunky little girl who loved Hannah Montana and dressing up for Halloween. Her favorite color was purple, and she had an older brother named Daryn who loved her very much. On April 8th, 2009, Tori was walking home from school when she was approached by 18-year-old Terri-Lynne McClintic, who offered to show her a Shih Tzu puppy. Instead, she and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Michael  Rafferty abducted the little girl, after which she was raped, murdered, and dumped beneath a rock pile in a remote location.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Kettering, Ohio, to discuss the case of Erica Baker, a 9-year-old girl who had her whole life ahead of her. On February 7th 1999, Erica set off to Indian Riffle Park with her Shih Tzu, Jamie, after not being able to go to a father daughter dance that was occurring in the park's community center that evening. Hours passed, and day turned to night. Sadly, Erica never made it home that evening. What should have been just a simple outing to the park turned into one of Ohio's biggest unsolved missing persons cases in history.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/4455/contacts https://www.missingkids.org/poster/ncmc/860119/1 https://dayton247now.com/podcast/missing-erica-baker/missing-erica-baker-christian-gabriels-written-confession#https://int-missing.fandom.com/wiki/Erica_Baker https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2499dfoh.html https://charleyproject.org/case/erica-nicole-baker https://www.wdtn.com/news/local-news/bring-erica-home-the-journey-to-find-erica-baker-24-years-later/ https://dayton247now.com/news/local/exclusive-missing-erica-baker-podcast-led-authorities-to-search-local-park https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/accused/2021/06/10/backstory-erica-baker-still-missing-after-1999-disappearance/7210154002/ https://mercercountyoutlook.net/2018/02/08/the-mystery-of-erica-baker-continues-after-18-years/https://www.playkettering.org/locations/indian-riffle-park/ https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/2021/04/06/equusearch-midwest-kettering-police-searching-9-year-old-missing-since-1999/7103320002/ https://www.fox19.com/2021/04/06/texas-equusearch-midwest-search-year-old-missing-since/ https://www.whio.com/news/local/24-years-later-kettering-police-continue-investigation-into-erica-bakers-disappearance/7LDYLUN4FJHKPMHHUKR4SCFSPM/ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/chapter-1-neighborhood-kids/id1630167488?i=1000567367269 https://www.wsbradio.com/on-demand/beyond-criminal-headlines-detective-bob-green-disappearance-erica-baker/MNSHLMCAMBESRB7MMYSIXYAUBM/ https://myfox28columbus.com/news/local/latest-podcast-episode-of-missing-erica-baker-released https://www.wgauradio.com/on-demand/beyond-criminal-headlines-detective-bob-green-disappearance-erica-baker/MNSHLMCAMBESRB7MMYSIXYAUBM/ https://local12.com/news/local/24-years-later-hope-remains-a-constant-in-search-for-erica-baker-kettering-ohio-missing https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/accused/2021/06/10/backstory-erica-baker-still-missing-after-1999-disappearance/7210154002/ https://www.pollyklaas.org/missing-children/erica-baker/ https://dayton247now.com/podcast/missing-erica-baker/missing-erica-baker-chapter-3-do-you-ever-lie
