Hello all,

Wow, it has been a long time since I've posted on this website! Mia has been such a cute and healthy li'l girl that I almost forgot about this forum altogether.
Well, the good news is that Mia will be getting a Chihuahua baby brother in about four weeks, and I would like to do my best to make sure that she does not feel neglected or "replaced" with this new addition to our family. I've read that Chis are very dominant, but so is my little Mia, making me a little apprehensive about this transition.
So, what I would like to ask you is: oh, wise and experienced owners of two dogs, I appeal to you, how did you introduce the second puppy without traumatizing the first?

P.S. Mia is now a ten-month-old spunky and sassy Yorkie.
