In 2009, Danda came into our household. She is our very first mini dog, also, the first one to live inside our house. She’s a mini dog, perfect for indoors.
About a year later, we got Beauty, a princess shih tzu puppy. She instantly loved Danda. But, Danda was indifferent and stayed away from Beauty. She'd walk away whenever Beauty wanted to play with her. At least, Danda was respectful of the new puppy joining the family, she didn’t bark or bite. It took some time before they became best friends.
The change happen when we brought them to the mall for grooming. They shared a cage while they waited for their turn. Danda can get quite nervous at grooming salons, while, Beauty is very friendly and cool with other dogs and people grooming her. I think Beauty helped Danda stay calm while waiting for us. Her soothing energy helped Danda relax in the salon cage. Since then, Danda and Beauty became super close. They take naps together, play, and share food/water.
