They need to import some cops from somewhere else to solve their dog problem.
I don’t think chihuahuas really qualify as dogs.
I read once that their DNA is closer to that of the rodent than the dog.
I believe it.
Cripes my ex-wife had ONE of those barking rats, and that was enough harrassment. I can’t imagine a pack of the little yappy things.
Just hassling the residents American dogs won’t hassle.
A huge fly swatter works just as well. The little bastards.
Errant apostrophe aside, that's a switch.
Simple solution - just put a set of goal posts at the end of the street and commence to kicking...
They are impossible to train. So they piss and shit where ever they please. The most worthless dog I have ever seen.
Undocumented canines.
Chihuahuas.
Seriously?
Just put on your hiking boots.A liberal application of 12D works wonders on the little rodents.
Nobody in Phoenix has a pellet gun?
Also had the refilling food and water dog dish so I only had to feed him once a month.
He was more like a roommate. Great with the kids. Did every trick there was.
Amos finally had a rabid squirrel latch onto his back and had to be put down.
RIP Amos
"...probably part of that truck load of 863,421 chihuahuas smuggled in a semi a few months back"
Little dog but a big story picked up by the Daily Mail that is running with it as well:
Arizona neighborhood terrorized by feral packs of abandoned CHIHUAHUAS
