Woman Attacks Dog Breeder With Chihuahua

WOW! What is wrong with people these days? Although as I read this I couldn’t help but wonder just how big a 4 week old Chihuahua must be. Sligthly bigger than a hamster? I can’t even remember when our cats were that small but they still fit in the palm of my hand when they were around 8 weeks so this really must have been something to see. Imagine explaining that to your neighbors…the town busy-body must have had a field day. Hope it’s not a Desparate Housewives neighborhood 😉

ST. PETERS, Mo. (AP) — A woman angry that her new puppy had died pushed her way into a dog breeder’s home and repeatedly hit her on the head with the dead Chihuahua, authorities said.

The 33-year-old woman 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, it died.

Early Wednesday, the woman 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. The breeder 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, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported, citing police.

As the woman drove away, she waved the dead puppy out of the car’s sunroof and yelled threats at the breeder, police said. She later called the breeder and threatened her and her family, according to court records.

Police said they are considering felony burglary charges and misdemeanor assault charges.
