Hi Shauna! Welcome to the group! I am Shanna, (rhymes with Anna) living in Las Vegas and am "owed" by Ricky my chi rescue 4 months ago. He is still adjusting but doing well. My advice is since you have only had Lila for a week, it will take some time for all the dogs to adjust to each other. You Maltese is in the jealous stage! LOL but with some time they will work it out. chihuahua's are always the BOSS.... :)

I am not sure of her history other than that she was rescued. I am not new to dog ownership and Lila is the third canine member of my "pack" and I am very happy with her. She has blended very well so far with my 7LB Maltese cross and my 23LB Pug/Boston cross. Having said that she has definitely tried to dominate the other two dogs. My Pug cross is fine with this but the Maltese, Zoe isn't crazy about the idea. Any hints on how to deal with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Now for a little about me....I'm 44 and a Registered Nurse. I have always been a dog lover and have trained and competed in agility in the past. I have also trained several dogs in obedience and have assisted in obedience classes that were run by the local CKC at one time. I have always rescued dogs and have had a wide variety of experiences both good and heart breaking. I am looking forward to meeting you all and being a part of this group. I have posted a picture of Lila and my other 2 mutts so you can put faces to names a little easier. Cheers! Shauna
