Woman Accused of Attack With Dead Chihuahua Charged With 2 Misdemeanors Saturday, June 17, 2006 STORIES •Woman Attacked Dog Breeder With Dead Chihuahua, Cops Say ST. LOUIS — A woman accused of pummeling a dog breeder over the head with a dead Chihuahua has been charged with two misdemeanors and reimbursed the money she paid for the puppy. Lisa Lynn Hopfer, 33, was charged with trespassing and third-degree assault in the June 7 incident, authorities said. No listed phone number for Hopfer was available. A man at her home who declined to identify himself told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper Friday that "there's another side to the story," but declined to elaborate. Hopfer told police she had taken the puppy to a veterinarian, who said it was only 4 weeks old and needed to be returned to its mother. But before she could return the puppy named Chloe, it died. Authorities said Hopfer went to the breeder's home, pushed her way inside and began fighting with the breeder as she tried to make her way to the basement to get another puppy, police said. Linda Hulsey, 33, wrestled the woman out of her house to the front porch, where the woman then hit the breeder over the head numerous times with the dead puppy, police said. Hulsey said she was hit with the dead puppy at least 30 times and went to a hospital for her bruises, but had no serious injuries. She said she was upset that Hopfer had accused her of selling the puppy too young and said the puppy was two days shy of 6 weeks old. Hulsey said she later returned the $100 (euro79) that Hopfer had paid for the dog.

Cue the jokes lifted from the Dead Parrot sketch!
They actually are appropriate here, after a moment of silence in memoriam of an innocent puppy.
There are more possible jokes than you could swing a dead puppy at.
The breeder was fortunate her upset customer did not return with a deceased St Bernard

Nothing more pitiful than a chihuahua owning grandmother torn between this most stupid of dogs and her grandchildren who are not allowed to visit because grandma doesn't keep the dog tied up in a cage.
Just a warning!
We had several chihuahua's when I was growing up.
I can vouch for the fact that they don't like little kids.
Most small dogs do not like little kids because kids don't know how to properly approach them and handle them. The dogs are afraid.

Ha, I had a grandmother like that. I hated that dog. I have to admit when I was very young I tried to hurt that dog.
For a second there, I figured the writer of the headline must be gay.
