Without any doubt whatsoever, my dog is my best friend! Miss Margarita (you gotta roll the 'R' when you say her full name), or Rita for short.
She's also known as Riri, RooRoo and Miss Barker McBarkerson.
She's actually been on Facebook twice as long as I have and probably has double the number of friends.

Somehow, I have been blessed to be this little dog's human mommy and I swear, there is probably nothing that I wouldn't do for my 5-lb chihuahua companion. From her food, to her bed, to her clothes and snacks, I make sure she has the best of everything that I can provide for her.
While I provide for this diva like a queen, it's been kind of sad for both of us, that it had been a whole year since she had had an actual dog treat.
Can you imagine not having a snack all year long?
Well, there've been some table scraps and a pizza crust (her fav!) here and there, but the dog snack jar has been barren for at least the last year.
That is, until I had the awesome fortune of crossing paths with the manufacturer of a completely natural dog treat recently in Las Vegas.

And what a treat it was! (Pun intended) :)
By the end of her sharing the story of her own bulldog that had motivated her to start this line of raw foods and all natural treats, we were both teary-eyed. It was amazing to hear how she had helped to add 4 years onto Harlie's life by switching his diet.
I appreciated her compassion for animals and was impressed by the testimonial of her bulldog Harlie's recovery, but I also loved the quality of her products and her insistence on using only American-grown and produced resources.
She has a variety of foods and treats for both dogs and cats, you can view more on her website at www.proofpawsitive.com.

| Some of Rita's Favorites |
I don't know about you, but my dog has a stocking and I plan to stuff it with lots of Proof Pawsitive goodies this Christmas! That is, if the ones I got in Las Vegas last that long! She loves them so much and will not stop spinning in circles, begging for more.
Believe me, there is no way at all of resisting a tiny little chihuahua doing tricks in hopes of a crispy chicken chew.
Rita has tried two of the treats so far and they've been just perfect for her. The chicken treats are definitely crispy, but she can safely eat one in a few minutes, even with her teeny tiny teeth.
The other jerky she has tried has been just as much of a hit with her too. They're chewy like sausage for her and she licks and licks on them - obviously she loves how they taste.
If you've been too scared to buy treats from the commercial stores in the year or so like I have, I hope you'll be as relieved as I was to find out about Proof Pawsitive.

Around and around she goes...begging for more treats!
It's good to see my dog so happy.
