Chihuahuas are the laughing stock of the dog world, with their bulging eyes, nervous farting habits and irritating, yapping, not-really-a-dog barking.
For that reason they are used as playthings by larger dogs.
It's now time for humans to join in the fun. Buy a couple of croquet mallets and hoops
and set to.
Toads and rats may be substituted where chihuahuas are protected under local ordnances.
Shave the rabbits!

God help me, my wife and daughter have finally brow beat me for long enough that in a moment of supreme weakness I broke down and let a chihuahua puppy become part of our family. The thing looks like a little jersey cow rat, tries to kill my feet, won't let me get a good night sleep but for some reason I just can't seem to make myself strangle it so now it's started to adopt me as it's buddy and, and...
...now it's taking over. |
|
| |
get a cat as a companion for the poor lonely dog.... a big cat... or maybe a crocodile or something. |
|
| |
[2 fries]: Tie the scrawny thing to the cat that's being ejected.
Chihuahua-rocket. |
|
| |
Come on, guys! We happily feed anti-coagulants to rats and mice until they die horrible deaths. Cruelty is in the eye of the beholder. |
|
| |
To quote the Vogons: "Death's too good for them" [+] |
|
| |
Chihuahuas, guinea pigs, and rabbits are meant to be used as food. |
|
| |
get a pig if you want a pet. |
|
| |
Do you mean the fine mexican chihuahuacroquette? |
|
| |
Our kids have a couple of very cool guinea pigs. One of them lies on its back so you can comb its belly. |
|
| |
Perhaps it's a zombie? It ate half an apple from my hand this morning. |
|
| |
How did you know? That's just too freaky, [rcarty]! |
|
| |
Guinea-pigs are sweet, but you should get rabbits. Is the
climate OK for them in Australia? |
|
| |
Keeping rabbits is illegal in this state. They're a pest species. |
|
| |
Heh, our city just declared war on rabbits.
Protests and everything there for a while. |
|
| |
We did that first with myxomatosis then with rabbit calicivirus. I saw three myxo and calici-resistant rabbits in the park across the street this morning. |
|
| |
//our city just declared war on rabbits.

And after five years of war, you'll be reduced to throwing shoes at them. |
|
| |
I don't suppose they have rabbit bounties there any more? |
|
| |
//I don't suppose they have rabbit bounties there any more//
No, but we have coconut ones. |
|

|

How do they hold placards with those cute little paws? |
|
| |
//I saw three myxo and calici-resistant rabbits in the park//
It's probably the garden gnomes, handing out retro-viral drugs. |
|

Here in Canada...bilingually of course. link |
|
| |
They're a major pest here, probably worse than cane toads, in terms of the damage they have done to the environment. Displacing native species and causing erosion are two of the major effects they have had. |
|
| |
But they're soooo cute.
And tasty. |
|
| |
You have rabbits in Australia? Really? |
|
| |
Metal detectors for small dogs? |
|
| |
"Whack!" "This one's a cleanan! Let 'em through" |
|
| |
Rabbit's thrive in Australia yet possums struggle? I would have thought that both species would face the same challenges of minimal green vegetation and an ample population of hungry snakes. |
|
| |
My mother's fell off her bed during a recent earthquake. (dog that is, not rabbit) Hit her head on the floor, or so I was told. |
|
| |
[Texticle}: I suspect that possums aren't as voracious at the ol' breeding... |
|
| |
Something in the NZ water, then? Over here they breed like, erm, rabbits. |
|
| |
After some Pommie dickhead named Austin introduced two dozen rabbits in 1859 for hunting, the rot set in. He wasn't quite as good a shot as he thought, so some of them escaped. by 1930 there was a billion rabbits in the country and they had eaten almost everything green, except prickly pear cactus. They're below those numbers now but still in plague proportions in many areas. |
|
| |
Possums aren't having any trouble breeding. They do very well in our metropolitan areas, with all of the fruiting and flowering trees we plant. The Australian possums in New Zealand are even bigger and more aggressive than the Aussie ones. |
|
| |
Every mammal but one in NZ was introduced, often by some or other pommie dickhead. Holy environmental irresponsibility, Batman! |
|
| |
Yeah, you've got those flightless bats, haven't you? |
|
| |
//Her name is Lisa Marie.//
{waves to [blissmiss]'s mom } Hi Lisa Marie! |
|
| |
The chichuawaawaa not the mama, you silly. |
|
| |
[UB], you are correct in that the one native mammal is indeed a type of bat. They do fly though. Many of the birds don't. No point in flying when there are zero predators and there is plenty of food on the ground anyway. I guess the bats needed to fly to get up to the roof of their hidey holes. |
|
| |
What were they hiding from? Photons, presumably. |
|
| |
Oh, I thought they were flightless. My bad? |
|
| |
Yep, they fly. In my double check google I did however learn that there are in fact two surviving species of native bat. |
|
| |
Yep, bun for this. Got no time for rat-like "dogs". |
|
| |
Does remind me though...off the coast of Perth in Western Aussie is an island called Rottnest. There's funny little furry animal called a Quoka that's endemic to the island and bored sailors in the days of the sailing ships used to play Quoka Soccer with them. Very entertaining by all accounts. Now virtually punishable by death though due to low remaining numbers. |
|
| |
Hi [UB] Yeah, sorry about the rabbits. We're shipping over
some breeding pairs of cats to try to control them. |
|
| |
How 'bout some foxes, while you're at it? |
|
| |
What?? You didn't get the foxes yet?? I thought we sent
those out to control the rats? I'll chase up the delivery,
mate. |
|
| |
Saw a dead one this week. It was hit by a car, about a mile from where I live. Send live ones, if you would. |
|
| |
Ah, so you got the car, then? |
