I am possibly bringing home a shih tzu puppy today to be a little brother to my morkie, Kimchee. Any advice on how to make this introduction go smoothly?

I am a little worried because Kimchee is very territorial and also possessive of my wife. Of course, she is used to being the center of attention because she's an only child. Also, she doesn't get along with other dogs very well. She enjoys the company of humans more. We only know 2 dogs that she likes in our neighborhood. Both are boys. One is a yorkie and the other is a shih tzu. She really doesn't like other girls.

We know this will be a challenge. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
