Chihuahua Terrorizes Mail Carriers
http://wcco.com/water/watercooler_story_087084837.html

HOBART, Ind. (AP) While there’s nothing special about U.S. Postal Service workers being terrorized by dogs, the size of one here is raising eyebrows.

Mail carriers said they were recently unable to deliver mail to homes along a section of Guyer Street in this northwestern Indiana city because of a 4.5-pound Chihuahua named Bobo.

“The little Chihuahua was 10-foot tall when he was on the street,” said Florence Page of the Hobart Humane Society, which picked up the dog twice for running loose. “It’s kind of comical, you know, but after a while it’s not any more.”

She said there were no reports of the dog actually biting anyone, however.

3. ONLY in Indiana!
Wonder who'd win in a fight between Bobo and "Lucky", the Satan-shelled turtle?

4. whew. thought tinkerbell got out again.
I have a chihuahua who eats pit bulls. She's not shivery, bald, or bugeyed and she weighs in at about 4.5 pounds too.

I told her if she eats one more postal carrier she won't get to go on her walks anymore. Besides I'm tired of dealing with the bones. There's only so much you can do with them after a while.

6. my grandfather had an evil chihuahua that bit everyone's ankles
it was kind of funny it it really hurt too. His name was Little Dog so I think he had a lot of anger because of that.

8. I have a Keeshond that just hates Pugs
I suspect he may have had a bad experience in the show ring with one of them?
