RAISINVILLE TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Tina Burlett thought someone had broken into her house and stolen her custom-made, $5,000 wedding ring, so she called the police, who filed a report. But Burlett‘s grandmother already had a suspect in mind: the family pooch.

"I couldn‘t believe it," Burlett told The Monroe Evening News for a story Thursday. "I didn‘t think so at the time, but it‘s funny now."

Dr. Linda Fung of the Country Creek Animal Hospital said she wasn‘t surprised to learn that Missy swallowed jewelry.

Fung gave Missy some peroxide and out came the ring intact.

Varities of Chihuahuas Found and Talked About

Applehead, Appleheaded, Appledome, Apple-dome, Apple Chihuahuas

The term applehead Chihuahua refers to the shape of a baby Chihuahua's head. The dome of the skull is broader than the jaw, giving rise to the description "applehead". It takes into account that the top of the head has a slight depression. This depression is called a molera (Spanish for fontanel) and corresponds to the "soft spot" on a baby's head. Some Chis have it--some don't.

This is a "normal" Chihuahua. Applehead or Appledome refer to the 90 degree rise off the nose (muzzle) of the forehead. A Chihuahua will often have protruded eyes. These are features of a "standard" Chihuahua. A Chihuahua with a sloping forehead will often have eyes that are more recessed. Some people prefer this "look", but technically it is not a preferred genetic trait because it does not adhere to the standard as established by the AKC. As with all purebred dogs, a Chihuahua "quality" is measured against a standard... This "quality" refers to the quality of the genes, not the physical health on the Chihuahua. Oftentimes these unique characteristics make some Chihuahuas more or less expensive.

Deer head , Deer Chihuahuas

A deer chihuahua has a sloped forehead... not an "apple-dome", a 90 degree angle off the bridge of the nose... a deer chihuahua may also have deer-like slender, delicate paws... making them look like little deer. I've only seen it in smoothcoats, but I suppose there's no reason it couldn't occur in longcoats. Some folks prefer this look, although it does not represent the "Chihuahua Standard".

Teacup Chihuahuas

NOBODY HAS TEACUPS!!! They is no such thing!

"Teacup" is a marketing term... it is a cute name used to sway your dollars... that's it. Small sized Chihuahuas are actually called teacup Chihuahuas - but there is no such breed in reality. Many backyard breeders specifically breed these small sized Chihuahuas and name them as Teacup Chihuahuas - and sell them at premium prices. But it has been seen, because of their tiny size, these small sized Chihuahuas are even more fragile and suffer from various genetic problems.

Tricolor Chihuahuas

They are so called because of 3 colors present in their coat.

Long Coat Chihuahuas

As the name suggests, they have a long coat. Some people believe that these long-coated Chihuahuas are a bit more reserved than the smooth coat ones. They are also called Long Hair Chihuahuas.

Smooth Coat Chihuahuas

They have short hairs. They are also called Short Hair Chihuahuas.

The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog magazines have named their worst celebrity pet owner of 2006: Somewhat fittingly, the honor bestowed upon Paris Hilton last year goes to her partner in cooch-flashing, pooch-neglecting crime, Britney Spears:

"She once had three Chihuahuas ... and never left home without at least one of them on her arm," [editor Hilary] O'Hagan said. "As soon as she met K-Fed and had kids they (the dogs) disappeared."

The AP's parenthetical clarification is necessary, of course, as the same could easily have been said in recent weeks of her ex-husband and two young children. There's little need for concern, however, as the trio of lap dogs left to fend for themselves on the grounds of Spears' estate have recently discovered her two abandoned and hungry infant sons huddling for warmth in what was once K-Fed's background dancing studio; they have since added the tykes to their own litter, and in time, these feral Chihuahua-boys will grow into fierce, yapping warriors. Spears, meanwhile, remains blissfully ignorant of the changes at home, focusing most of her current energies on her staunchly pro-panty image-rehabilitating campaign.

The Chihuahua and the Gorilla

A man walked into his back yard one morning and found a gorilla in a tree. He called a gorilla-removal service, and soon a serviceman arrived with a stick, a Chihuahua, a pair of handcuffs, and a shotgun.

"Now listen carefully," he told the homeowner. "I'm going to climb the tree and poke the gorilla with this stick until he falls to the ground. The trained Chihuahua will then go right for his, uh, sensitive area, and when the gorilla instinctively crosses his hands in front to protect himself, you slap on the handcuffs." "Got it," the home owner replied.

"But what's the shotgun for?" "If I fall out of the tree before the gorilla," the man said, "shoot the Chihuahua."
