Raw Dog Food Recipes
Raw dog food diets are gaining increasing popularity with pet owners due to the increasing difficulty it is to find good dog food that has been processed and the many benefits that a raw dog food diet has to offer. Feeding your dog only natural, raw meats in combination with other ingredients, provides a well-balanced and nutritional diet for dogs. It only makes sense that the best foods for your pet may be those that were intended by nature, raw meat. Many dog owners are concluding that a raw diet is indeed the best dog food to offer your pooch.

My Little Girl
This is a picture of my little Pekingese Sandy as a pup. Is she adorable or what? I couldn't ask for a better addition to our family, fitting right in with my two boys. Pekingese are an intelligent breed and she was easily housebroken. She's also very stubborn, another characteristic of this ancient breed. She has an ambiance of royalty and will not be talked down to in any manner. Now, four years old, she's still the same great girl, she's very laid back and loyal. Actually, she never was a hyper pup or destructive at all (less a few toilet paper rolls). Don't let her looks fool you either, she's no princess. In fact she gets out and tumbles with the big boys. She scopes out rabbits, cleverly moving a few feet at a time very slowly until she's in what she believes a position to ambush, explores the hillside, and rolls all over with the neighbor dogs until she's absolutely exhausted. It's funny to see her little feet moving as fast as they can to meet the pace of a rat terrier/jack russell mix, HA!
