Maltese Shih tzu Mix - Cookie

My Maltese Shih tzu Mix or Malshi's name is Cookie. She is like my child, I just love her to pieces. She is so smart, she learned to sit, lay down, shake in like 20 minutes. She learned to roll over in 10 minutes.
She absolutely loves kids, she seems to have formed a special bond with my grandson. Justin is Cookie's kid. She is obsessed with squeaky tennis balls, she will retrieve them for hours if I am willing.
I got my Maltese Shih tzu mix when she was about 7 months old, and have found she is a verrrrrrrrrry fussy eater. She prefers people food over dog food, hands down. This is funny, my daughter just laughs so much at this, but many times I spoon feed her to get her to eat. My daughter says, "That dog owns you." I think she is right.
I also have 4 beautiful cats, so that was a concern to me.... No more, I am not sure if Cookie thinks she is part cat or if the cats think they are part dog. Of course the cats are all as big or bigger than Cookie, so maybe they think she is a strange looking cat. My Malshi truly is a joy and my special baby.
