Donald Huffman, a 45-year-old man from Anaconda, died in a motorcycle crash Tuesday afternoon on Montana Secondary Highway 569 near mile marker 3.3 in Deer Lodge County.
According to a dispatcher from Montana Highway Patrol, Huffman was riding his Harley-Davidson northbound on 569 when he went off the right side of the road. Huffman quickly turned left, making his way back on the pavement. The motorcycle then flipped onto its side.
When the Montana Highway Patrol arrived on the scene, Huffman was dead. His body was in the northbound lane, and his motorcycle was in a ditch.
Huffman was not wearing a helmet, Deer Lodge County Coroner Gerry Thomas said. Thomas said the cause of death was "blunt trauma to the head and trunk."
Alcohol was not a factor but speed was. Road conditions were described as bare and dry.
A Highway Patrol dispatcher said they also have a Hardin address for Huffman on file.
Thomas stressed the importance of wearing a helmet.

We have medium brown ikea cabinets and want to paint them white. I want to use a low/no voc process (someone else doing it).
I think it's going to be cheaper to just buy new cabinet fronts and panals, about $1,500. Am I wrong? |

We got a bid for $2500 to sand, prime and paint our cabinets. We're getting new, all wood locally built cabinets for $5000. |
- Posted by creative_glo (My Page) on Sat, Aug 28, 10 at 13:31
Cabinets are priced so competitively right now, as a kitchen designer I'm finding that frequently it doesn't even pay to replace the doors, panels and edgebanding (known as refacing) when you can buy new cabinets for only slightly more. I would hesitate to put that much money into IKEA cabinets. If they were all wood cabinets in otherwise great condition maybe painting would be a good choice. |

i agree with posters above. am buying local all wood custom cabs and then painting myself. |

Paint is cheap, we did ours a few years ago. The stripping off the old finish is work, but it's well within most peoples skill level. |
Ikea fronts and panels should be super easy to replace if you buy from Ikea or order doors from Scherr's or the like, If the cabinets are in good shape and the layout works well. You can order unpainted doors and paint them if you don't like the Ikea styles. Also, I had an estimate for stripping and painting for about $4000 for my 10x12 kitchen. |

If you go to the Schreiner site, you can see the cover of next year's catalog. I think that the cover iris is really pretty. Does anyone know anything about it? I am guessing that "Can't Touch This" may be in its parentage. This has not been a great grower for me, and so I am curious. I don't think I'll be able to resist that one next spring!

Looks somewhat like Ghio's 'Vapor' of a few years back. |
Yes, that blue band on Can't Touch This is such a rich shade. Unfortunately, it just hasn't done well here. I'm definitely willing to try another plant again, though, some time in the future. |
I saw that new Iris growing in their Display Garden last Spring & it really IS that blue! Loads of flowers on it as well. Can't recall it's name, however. I'd guess it's a 'Can't Touch This' kid, too. Will be a long wait for the new catalog... |

March 30, 2005
are way too many lawyers, but not nearly enough good ones."
--- should be considered conventional wisdom
mp3 audio file of this column: http://www.conspiracypenpal.com/audio/command16-44.mp3 (1.5 mb, 14 min) (streaming version)
Sooner or later, most with whom I speak
say something like, "You know, I always
considered going to law school," or "I've been thinking about going
back to college and studying law." It seems like everybody
at one time or another considers going to law school. Few of those who
actually do so should have done so. A young man recently told me that he
soon would enter law school and
sought my advice. Here is what I
told him:
1. Everything your
law school professors will tell you about not using commercial outlines and
case summaries is a lie. If you can't read 50 appellate opinions
and get the drift, you should not become a lawyer.
All you really need for law school is what is known as "black letter
law." In my third year of law school, there were some classes
for which I never even bothered to buy the assigned texts - just the
commercial case summaries and legal outlines - I got As. Buy all the texts
your first year and read some of the opinions, but also buy the stuff that
everybody tells you not to and make them the centerpiece of your classroom
The main point of law school is to prepare you to deal with
more work than you possibly can do, in order to stay focused through complexity and
be able to choose what not to do, day in and day out. You never can do all the homework
assigned...never. Don't even try. Prove your worthiness to be
a lawyer and cheat by using outlines. Law school is designed to breed
mindless and obedient little exercise-wheel-spinning
rats for the big law firms to put in harness for 60-80 hours per week and
bill out so that the partners can afford to drive their new luxury cars
home to their mini mansions and their trophy wives (see Commandment 16, below).
No relationship withstands law school. Do not get married until
long after you recover from the process of becoming a lawyer.
If you want to stay married, don't go to law school. Kiss your girlfriend
goodbye. Law school breeds a**holes. It makes bigger
a**holes out of those who are a**holes to begin with and it attracts a**holes
like moths to a flame. Guard against feeding into your hostile side. Consider taking
some sort of "personal growth seminar" during the summer after the
first year to help counteract the influence.
Law Review is for weenies and sycophants. Moot court is for real men. Externships, if available, are well worth the time. After
graduation, the best job you can get is the one nobody wants: working for
peanuts in the DA's office, where you will get more trial experience in your
first month than most lawyers get in a lifetime.
There is no relation between law school and legal practice. I
hated law school, but I have loved being a lawyer. Everybody I
knew who liked law school hates being a lawyer. Go figure.
6. There
is no transfer from law school to the bar exam. The prep course is
mandatory. Make outlines of your outlines, then make outlines of them.
When you finally have everything reduced to acronyms and notes that fit on a
single page that you review the morning of the bar exam, you are ready. If
BarBri (bar exam prep course) has an "early bird special," buy it.
Their legal outlines are superlative, albeit less complete than what you need
for class. If they let you audit the prep
course in the summer after your first year, DO IT!
It will be a great help with learning how to write law school essay exam
There is no relation between the bar exam and legal practice. Everybody
starts from ground zero. The bar exam is like a job interview in that no
skills learned for it will transfer.
8. Map out all the possible states in which you might
ever want to practice law and take those bar exams serially (i.e., one every 6 months) right after
law school. You need to really book it for only the first couple (I took
my fourth bar exam with zero preparation and passed). Though I could pass
any bar exam today blindfolded, never again will I be allowed to take another in any
state, due to my politically-incorrect status.
9.Those who can't do, judge. Those who can't judge, teach. Both teachers and judges hate practicing lawyers, believing themselves superior and envying the money they see some lawyers make. The natural enemy of the trial lawyer is not the county clerk, as commonly thought, it is the judge. Any time you encounter law professors after law school (as expert witnesses, most often), they will be your enemy, too. You are in enemy territory until you graduate. Then you will be in enemy territory every time you enter a courtroom. Keep that in mind and wear your flak jacket.
10. Be
a litigator. Like all true warriors, litigators are born, not made. You must enjoy
grinding the other guy beneath the heel of your boot. If you don't want to
do trial work, then do yourself a favor and become a CPA, instead.
11. Never
trust a woman litigator. They don't play nice and they always go for
the jugular (something to do with playing with dolls as a kid instead of toy
guns, I suppose, though brain wiring has a good deal to do with it, too).
As a beginning trial lawyer, you have precisely one advantage over
your more experienced opponents: a willingness to prepare your
case for trial like it is Judgment Day. They never will.
Today, I could try most cases by being handed the file on my way in to pick a
jury. When you begin to think like I do, it is time to retire.
A great deal of lawyering is smoke and mirrors. The sizzle often
is more important than the steak. Never underestimate the importance of
appearance, bearing, posturing and phony self-righteous indignation.
Always remember to deliver the freight, though.
14. When
it comes time for either you or your client to go to jail, always make sure it
is your client. No client and no case are worth breaking the law
and nobody ever breaks the law unless, at the time, they are certain they will
not be caught.
15. Make a difference. Have an internal moral compass and never violate it. Do the right thing, not the smart thing. Be able, always, to stand tall and be proud.
Lots of money just means a newer car (the new wears off after a week), or a bigger
house (you can only be in one room at a time), or a prettier wife (with higher
maintenance requirements and the sex wears off after 6 months) or any of a
number of other things that you don't need and won't want once you get them. My happiest years were when I
was young and poor. If youth is wasted on the young, then surely
money is wasted on the old. (Corollary: No fool like an old
Remember: If you are bored, you are boring. (Corollary:
If you want to be loved more, be more lovable.)
Marry a genuinely nice person, someone who can stand to be around you.
Someone exceptionally forgiving, as you will require a great deal of
forgiveness. It helps if she actually thinks you are cool, too.
Have kids. This is the only way to learn how to love someone else
more than you love yourself, perhaps the single most vital lesson that life has
to offer.
20. Have fun. When it stops being fun, do something else. Always plan on eventually doing something else and prepare for it (beginning with taking your undergraduate degree in something truly useful, like History or Philosophy and certainly not Business or Political Science). No legal career should exceed 20 years. Most litigators are toast after ten. Litigation was not my first career and it certainly won't be my last.
I know that I am a sexist pig. That's Mr. Sexist Pig to you.
Please spare me your invective in that regard and don't tell my wife, who seems
not to have noticed, even after twenty years. All other invective
cheerfully received.)
New America. An idea whose time
has come.

Abstract: History often is life's greatest teacher, and this is proven when looking at the businesses that survived the Great Depression. By providing affordability along with repeatable, instantly enjoyable pleasures, Depression-era merchants found the keys to success ... and aesthetic physicians can capitalize by adapting their practices through history's lessons in order to weather this economic storm.
OK, let's get this out of the way—yes, the economy is in the toilet. As physicians, sometimes our attitudes get in the way of our ability to recognize the world around us. Just as we can't let our pride get in the way of good medicine, we must keep our ego from ravaging good business.
Many businesses—including aesthetic practices—will not weather the crisis. Unfortunately, this bad economy is globally affecting all countries and classes. From Wall Street to Main Street, London to Dubai, Singapore to Hong Kong, everyone is feeling it. Those who have heard the tales from elder relatives who lived through the 1930s may be shocked to hear themselves referencing these same stories as they advise their kids and staff members to curb indulgences. Perhaps a look back is not such a bad idea.
You can best predict the future by looking at the past. The businesses that prospered during the Great Depression were known as the sin industries, with "sin" referring to alcohol, candy and cigarettes. Interestingly, in addition to the sin industries, another area that remained successful was the cosmetic industry, with many companies holding steady or expanding, including L'Oréal and Revlon.
The sin industries allow a temporary escape from reality, an ability to satisfy a guilty pleasure, and the key is immediate gratification. So, if a quick fix is important, than almost equally as important is affordability. Affordable pricing is essential to achieving maximum gratification and repeat business.

"Delicious, tender, flavorful and not 8.00 a pound. I wish I had a deli slicer to really do it justice ! I followed the directions except for more garlic."
"Wonderful !!!! I followed the exact recipe I thought the sugar would be too sweet but they were perfect and tender My 8 yr old son NEVER eats pork and he begged for more. His friend who was visiting ate almost 3 pounds by himself. THANK YOU"

Utada HIkaru
Hikaru Utada (宇多田 ヒカル Utada Hikaru, born January 19, 1983), known by her stage name Utada (/uːˈtɑːdə/) in America and Europe, and sometimes referred to as Hikki (ヒッキー, Hikkī?) in Japan, is a Japanese-American singer, song writer, and producer.
Since the release of her debut album First Love, which went on to become the best-selling album in Oricon history, Utada has had three of her Japanese studio albums in the list of Top 10 best-selling albums ever in Japan (#1, #4, #8) and six of her albums (including two English-language and one compilation) charting within the 275 Best-Selling Japanese albums list. Utada has had fourteen number-one singles on the Oricon Singles chart, with two notable record achievements for a female solo or group artist: five million-sellers and four in the Top 100 All-Time Best-selling Singles. Utada Hikaru has an estimated 50 million albums sold worldwide.
She was described by Time Magazine as a "Diva On Campus," a reference to her having attended Columbia University for a brief, career-break semester in 2000. In 2009, she was considered "the most influential artist of the decade," in the Japanese landscape, by The Japan Times. In 2003, Utada was ranked #24 in the survey of Top 100 Japanese Pop Artists of All Time by HMV, #10 in HMV's Top 30 Best Japanese Singers of All Time in 2006.
Additionally, Utada made two theme song contributions to Square Enix and Disney's collaborative video game series Kingdom Hearts: "Simple and Clean" for Kingdom Hearts and "Passion" for Kingdom Hearts II (later re-recorded with new English lyrics as "Sanctuary" for the North American and European releases of the game).

Let me start off with saying that this show is way better then Family guy. But I can't just say that without some valid reasoning right? Well, American dad!, on the humor part, relies on satires, rather than on Family guy's cut away gags ( now don't get me wrong, Family guy used to be really good, but it got to crude and just plain unfunny in my opinion ). Also, while Family guy nowadays relies more on is crude, overused, and plain unfunny humor. American dad! does have funny humor. Not to mention its unique and lovable cast:
Stan Smith: a heavily conservative CIA agent, husband and father, who often clashes with his family because of his point of views and attitudes. Can be quick-witted, and will stop at nothing to ''keep America pure''
Francine Smith: Basically the trophy wife of the family. She is usually at the house, but there are occasions where she is willing to do something different, sometimes with the help of Roger.
Roger Smith: Undoubtly the funniest character on the show. Roger is a zany alien who is most of the time drunk, takes reckless decisions, and acts like a mentor to Steve. He has made countless alter egos, who bring him in trouble at times, but also bring great humor to the show.
Steve Smith: The youngest son of Francine and Stan. He is the nerdy and wimpy kid of the show. He tries to come over as confident to his peers, though he (possibly?) suffers from low esteem. However, he is very loyal to his friends and family, and will help them with anything, even if he will get hurt in the process. He's also very smart and wise.
Hayley Smith: Stan and Francine's eldest daughter. She is ultra liberal, and usually spends her time either smoking weed, protesting against things or helping the homeless. But don't let her nice side fool you, cause she has a temper and knows how to stand up for herself.
Klaus Heissler: A german skier who switched brains with a goldfish, and is now in a goldfish's body. He is found in either his fishbowl, or he is dragging around in a dish with water. He is usually treated like a outcast. Also, Klaus usually has dark behaviour, and plans witty evil schemes on those who do things to him unexpectly.
So yeah, that's the basic outline of the characters. If you thought the characters sounded great, the plots are just as great! The plotlines are very enjoyable to watch, and each episode has new humor or other ideas added in. One episode had Stan buying a hot tub, to relieve all his stress, amd Not to mention the awesome voices and designs the characters have, even the background/minor characters!
All in all, this is a hilarious show with much uniqueness added in its characters, humor, plots and art. A show that handles satire humor excellent.

Jun 1, 2010 7:14 PM by Dennis Bragg-KPAX
BOULDER - A former assistant football coach at the University of Montana is facing trespassing and theft charges for reportedly stealing a gun and a wallet at a Colorado strip club.
Tyler Gregorak, who was an assistant in Montana before following Head Coach Bobby Hauck to UNLV, was arrested last month in Boulder.
Police there say Gregorak stole the gun and wallet from the car of a bouncer who wouldn't let him into the Nitro strip club because he was too drunk. Police say he returned the items and apologized later that day.
Now, the Daily Camera website in Boulder says prosecutors are filing charges of criminal trespass and theft against Gregorak, who made his first court appearance in Boulder this afternoon.
Earlier, newspapers in Las Vegas reported UNLV had told Gregorak to resign or his contract won't be renewed at the end of this month.

[979] Do the Extent or Location of Vascular Invasion Stratify the Risk of Relapse in Clinical Stage I Patients with Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumors (NSGCT)?
Asli Yilmaz, Tina Cheng, Kiril Trpkov. University of Calgary and Calgary Laboratory Services, AB, Canada; University of Calgary, AB, Canada
Background: Current focus of testicular cancer management is to reduce the treatment related morbidity without jeopardizing the excellent survival rate. Predictors of relapse are critical in tailoring clinical management of individual patients. Previous studies showed that vascular invasion (VI) in the primary tumor is associated with high risk of relapse in patients with clinical stage I NSGCT. Our objective was to investigate whether the extent and/or the location of VI will improve the risk stratification in patients with stage I NSGCT, who are managed by surveillance.
Design: We identified 94 (62%) patients with clinical stage I of a total of 152 NSGCT patients. All patients had radical orchiectomy in our center between 10/1999 and 06/2009. VI was detected in 27 (29%) of cases. All clinical stage I patients were initially managed by surveillance. Pathology slides and reports were reviewed and follow-up was obtained. Extent of VI was defined on H&E slides as focal (1-3 foci) vs. extensive (≥4 foci). We also documented the location of VI as hilar and/or extratesticular vs. parenchymal vessels. We recorded the following clinical and morphologic features: age, tumor size, histologic type, percentage of tumor components and pathologic stage.
Results: Patient mean age was 34 years (range, 18 to 74) and mean tumor size was 3.5 cm (range, 0.8 to 10.5). Mixed tumor histology was identified in 20 (74%) cases and pure embryonal carcinoma was identified in 7 (26%) cases. Embryonal carcinoma was the most common type of tumor identified in lymphovascular spaces, followed by yolk sac tumor. We found extensive VI in 20 (74%) cases and focal in 7 (26%). Hilar and/or extratesticular VI was identified in 15 (56%) cases and parenchymal in 12 (44%). After a mean follow-up of 48 months (range, 7 to 84), 18 (67%) patients relapsed and 2 (7%) patients died with metastatic disease. Median time to relapse was 10 months and the most common site of relapse was retroperitoneal nodes. Relapse rates did not differ significantly when stratified by the extent of VI (focal 86% vs. extensive 60%) or location (hilar 67% vs. parenchymal 67%).
Conclusions: Evaluation of VI by extent or location did not improve the risk stratification for relapse in the studied patient cohort. We confirm that the presence of VI in the primary tumor is an adverse prognostic parameter associated with high disease progression rate in patients with clinical stage I NSGCT.

Boston Militia Staff, Bedford, TX, July 30, 2011
Game MVP: Whitney Zelee
Conference Offensive Player of the Year: Allison Cahill
Conference Coach of the Year: Coach Derrick Beasley
The setting was great: The 12,000 seat Pennington High School Stadium in Bedford, Texas. Temperatures were in the high nineties and the field temperature at game time was well over 100 degrees. The Women's Football Alliance stage was set for a match-up between the American Conference Champions, the 11-0 San Diego Surge, and the National Conference Champions, the 10-1 Boston Militia, with the winner to take home the Women's Football Alliance National Championship trophy.
The Surge won the opening toss and immediately set the tone with their passing attack but was stopped by the strong Militia defensive line and linebacker core. The Surge turned the ball over on downs to the Militia at the Militia 40 yard line.
The Boston Militia was unable to move the ball.
The San Diego team controlled the ball for the next 12 plays, mixing a strong running and passing game that saw the Surge score on a 50 sweep which was nullified by a holding penalty. The Militia held the Surge on the next 4 plays and took over on downs at the 45 yard line. However, the Militia fumbled on the first play from scrimmage and the Surge pounced on the ball at the 46 yard line.
The San Diego team proceeded to drive into the Militia on 2 runs picking up 27 yards, a pass interference penalty on the Militia, and 15 yard pass competition for the first score of the game with just 13 seconds left in the first quarter. Boston's Brianna Gallo blocked the extra-point kick, and the Surge jumped in front: 6-0.
The Militia offense started at their own 33 yard line with the kick off. They proceeded to install their own mark on this game with Stacey Tiamfook and Dorothy Donaldson pounding the ball into the Surge defense. On the 8th play of the drive, Allison Cahill hit Adrienne Smith on a 24 yard reception, and the first Boston Militia touchdown, to tie the score at 6-6. Rookie Danielle Resha split the uprights and the Militia took the lead with 12:04 in the second quarter with the score at 7-6.
On the next offensive series for the Surge, San Diego team was able to maintain a 12-play drive.
Chante Bonds stopped the Surge's drive with an interception and 11 yard return to the Militia 26 yard line with 5:42 on the clock in the second quarter.
In the next three minutes, the Boston Militia offense marched down field scored on a 3 yard run by Whitney Zelee. With Resha's extra point kick, the Militia shocked the Surge with a 14-6 lead with 2:44 remaining in the second quarter.
The Militia defense stopped the Surge offense and San Diego decided to go for a first down at their own 14 yard line. They were stopped by a defensive pass tip by the Militia's Bonds and the Boston offense took over the ball. The Militia scored on a 12 yard pass from Cahill to Zelee. The extra point attempt was blocked and the Militia took a 20-6 lead with 48 seconds in the first half.
The kick off saw some excitement as the Militia dropped a high kick along the sidelines and recovered it, then moved the ball to the Surge 22 yard line with 2 seconds on the clock. Ashley Snyder tried a 32 yard field goal, but was a foot short of the cross bar. The first half was over with the Boston Militia enjoying the lead at 20-6.
The third quarter opened with Zelee taking the kick off, and returning it 42 yards to Surge 47 yard line.
Behind some outstanding line blocking, the Militia offense put together a 6 play drive capped off by Cahill to Emily Weinberg 16 yard pass for a touchdown. Snyder's extra point kick put the Boston team up by a surprising 27-6 score.
San Diego showed their offensive might, and in three plays scored a touchdown on a 30 yard pass from Melissa Gallegos to Jessica Javelet. With the extra point, the Militia's lead was cut to 27-13.
The Militia was forced to punt on the next series after 7 plays, and the powerful Surge offense took over the ball at their own 30 yard line. The Surge was pushed backwards by a 15 yard penalty, and once again attempted to go for the first down with 4th and 20 at their own 18 yard line. The pass was tipped by Bonds, and the Militia took over on downs.
It took 4 plays for the Militia to cross the Surge goal line behind Sade Williams who cleared out the left side and allowed Zelee into the end zone. Snyder's extra point was good , and the Militia held the lead at 34 - 13 with 4:09 in the third quarter.
The Surge drove down deep into the Militia end of the field, only to be stopped by a pass interception at the goal line by Molly Goodwin. Goodwin returned the ball out to the 5 yard line.
The San Diego defense stopped the Militia on 5 plays and forced a Boston punt.
The Surge offense put together a 10 play drive again, only to turn the ball over on downs at the Militia 25 yard line.
The Militia had a pass intercepted on the first play of this series, and the Surge took over at the Militia 19 yard line with 10:24 in the fourth quarter.
It took the San Diego team 3 plays to score. The extra point kick was blocked, and the Militia lead was cut to 34-19 with 9:55 showing on the clock.
On the next series, the Militia offense was again forced to punt with 8:37 on the clock after committing another illegal procedure penalty and unable to move the ball.
The Surge put together a strong 12 play drive, and was stopped on 4th and goal at the Militia 7 yard line. Now the Militia had the ball with 5:22 on the game clock.
The Militia entire offense stepped up and, behind a strong offensive, line ran 8 plays from scrimmage. The Militia gained 85 yards on the ground, and ran out the clock with the final score of 34-19.
The Boston Militia are the 2011 Women's Football Alliance National Champions!

Bisonettes to Perform in OKC Metro Area Feb. 27
February 15, 2011
OBU's Bisonette Women's Glee Club will sing during worship at two Oklahoma City-area churches on Sunday, Feb. 27. The community is invited to attend the services at Woodland Hills Baptist Church in Newcastle, Okla., and Exchange Avenue Baptist Church in Oklahoma City.
The Bisonettes will sing during the morning worship services at Woodland Hills at 9:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Woodland Hills Church is located at 313 South Highway 76 in Newcastle.
The Bisonette Women's Glee Club from OBU will perform at two Oklahoma City-area churches on Sunday, Feb. 27. The community is invited to attend.
Exchange Avenue Baptist Church will host the Bisonettes for its 6 p.m. service. The church is located at 1312 S Pennsylvania Ave., Oklahoma City.
The Bisonettes consist of 36 of the finest vocal musicians on the OBU campus. The group was organized in 1954 by Warren M. Angell, then dean of the College of Fine Arts. Members are selected by audition and represent a number of academic areas of the University. Membership also reflects a diversity of geography, including members from Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The group performs at many churches, schools, and campus events, as well as staging tours throughout the country.
The group is conducted by Dr. James Vernon, professor of music. Vernon has served OBU since 1990 as an instructor in choral music, music theory and music composition. He also served the OBU Division of Music as Chairman from 2000-09. Vernon earned degrees from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and he has done additional study at the University of North Texas.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bitsie - Only $75 adoption!!
Facts about Bitsie - Only $75 adoption!
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Bitsie - Only $75 adoption!'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This adorable little sweetheart was saved off the euthanasia list at one of the big kill shelters. Bitsie is a purebred Chihuahua. I'm assuming she got her name from the saying "Itsy bitsy teeny tiny", because she is such a tiny little one.
My experience with Bitsie has been completely different from what the previous owner reported. From what I know about her previous home, & the huge difference in behavior at my house, I think that she came from a chaotic, abusive home, & was just reacting to her environment there.
At my house, Bitsie is sweet & cuddly (once she got to know me). She loves to be held & give kisses. She happily crawls in my lap when I sit down, & does a cute little happy dance when it's time to go to bed, lol. She is a HUGE cuddle bug & wants to lay on your stomach, your chest, or get right up in the crock of your neck, & she settles in & lays quietly which is really nice. She is also very playful. She loves squeaky toys, & will also play with just about anything. Just the other day she chased a leaf that was blowing across the patio & played with it. TO CUTE! She has a happy, peppy, yet dominant personality, & she be-bops around the house like she owns it & does her little happy dances when I talk to her in a baby voice.
She is quiet, & only barks when someone comes to the front door.
If your looking for a little companion that you can take with you everywhere, this is your girl! Bitsie needs a quiet, laid back home with someone who takes the leadership role. Because of her dominant personality, she needs someone who will take the leadership role & correct her if she gets out of line(firm "No"). Someone who is consistent & firm with discipline, yet gentle. This little one has been an absolute joy to foster! She is smart & listens well, & has learned many words.
PLEASE NOTE: All of the pets at Safe Haven receive basic training when they come to us. Depending on which foster home they are in, they may receive advanced training. All adopters will be given a list of words that your new pet knows at the time of adoption. What each pet learns depends on the foster home they were placed in, how much time that foster has had to work with them, & if that pet has any additional issues that need to be focused on first.
Age/Birthday: 2 yrs.
Weight at last Vet visit: 5 lbs. (She was underweight when she came to me, but she is so tiny, that I'm sure the weight she has gained here to get her to a good weight is only mere ounces, & she is still in the 5 lb. range. Folks, she is super tiny!)
Cats: She has been great with my cats & is very comfortable around them. Previous owner said she chases cats, but I think that that was just to play with them. My cats are so used to new dogs coming in & out of our home, that they just sit there & are not phased by them (so there was nothing for her to chase, LOL). Bitsie was very excited when she saw them & did her little happy dance. She is very interested in them & tries to get them to play. It's very cute! Bitsie is very gentle with my cats, & would do great in a home with cats. I am more worried about a cat hurting Bitsie. She is only about half the size of an average cat, & a cat could easy hurt her.
Small Dogs: She lived with other Chihuahuas in her previous home. Previous owner said that she is selective with what dogs she likes. In my home, Bitsie has been great with all of the other little dogs I have introduced her too. She is friendly with all of them, but some she is more playful with than others. She doesn't like when bigger dogs jump on her (when playing). Which is understandable because she is so small & it probably hurts her.
Previous owner also said that she is food aggressive with other dogs. I have not experienced that either. Bitsie was underweight when she came to me, & the previous owners probably allowed other dogs to get in her food. At my house, everyone eats out of their own bowl, & they are told "No" & guided back to their own bowl if they try to eat someone else's food. After about a week of her being at my house, & learning that no one was going to take her food away, I started moving one of my dogs food bowl closer & closer to hers. Eventually they were eating right next to each other & they each ate in perfect harmony.
Large Dogs: I have 3 large dogs at my house. I don't think Bitsie had been around large dogs before. She was nervous when she met them, but interested to see who they were. She now walks around with them without any fear, but will growl if they sniff her. I wouldn't trust her alone with a large dog at this point. Any interaction with them is supervised. I watch her face & as soon as she starts to lift her lip, I tell Bitsie a firm "No", & she listens very well to that. She is smart. I'm confident that as time goes on & she gets more comfortable with them, there will not be any issues when they get in her face, but for now, I don't want her going to a home with large dogs.
UPDATE: She is now completely comfortable around the big dogs & does not growl at them anymore when they sniff her. Since she is so small, I would only want her to go to a home with a very mellow large dog though. As she can get hurt very easily.
Kids: No kids please. Bitsie had a bad experience with children & growls at the site of them.
Men: Loves men
Women: She is more guarded & afraid of women. When Bitsie first came to my house, she didn't want to come out of the crate for a full day & a half. When she finally came out, she was shaking so bad I thought she was going to knock herself over. She gradually started to trust me, & now we are good buddies. She loves attention & is very affectionate. Previous owner said that she is selective with women. I firmly believe that she was abused by a woman. Bitsie is very sensitive to the tone of my voice, & the first time I raised my voice around her, she ran screaming across the room like I was going to hurt her. It broke my heart to see how afraid she was. Bitsie has since learned that she is safe here, & that I will never ever hurt her. She now follows me around the house, & is very affectionate.
Previous owner also said that she will guard her food from people & will growl if they get to close to it. Again, I have not experienced that. Bitsie was underweight when she came to me, so it was obvious that she was not getting enough food. Bitsie gets 2 meals a day here (breakfast & dinner). The first week she came, I just gave her food & left her alone, to show her that she will always get enough to eat. After a week, & she had learned that she can trust me, I put my hand in her food & messed with it while she was eating. Absolutely no reaction. I also pet her, messed with her ears, basically annoyed her while she was eating, & still, absolutely no reaction whatsoever. I think the combination of not getting enough to eat, & not trusting the people who were supposed to love her & take care of her, is the reason that she acted like that with them.
Strangers: She is more guarded around new women than men. Previous owner said that she is "scared & aggressive & snaps at strangers". My experience has been a little different. Whenever someone she doesn't know comes up to us, she just stands there. Bitsie is so adorable that everyone wants to immediately pet her, but because of what the previous owner said, I ask them not to. One lady did not listen to me & tried to pet her, & Bitsie growled & then got behind me. I bring treats out with us whenever I take her out now, & have new people give her a treat, but still not pet her. This will help her to associate new people with "good things". As she gets a treat every time someone new comes around. From the reactions I have seen, I think with more socialization, she would eventually be fine with strangers petting her once she learns that no one is going to hurt her.
UPDATE: She is getting more & more used to strangers. She is still cautious around them, but when some of them have held there hand up to her so she could smell them, she gave them kisses!
Crate Trained: Yes, she is smart & has learned to go in it when I ask her to ("Inside"). She will scratch at the door to let you know she needs to go outside.
House Trained: Yes, she was used to using a doggy door at her previous home. I don't have a doggy door at my house, so when I get a new dog, I take them out about every 3-4 hours to see if they have to go potty, & praise them when they do. Bitsie is smart & has since learned what the word "Outside" means. If I ask her "Outside?" & she has to go, her ears will perk up & she will run to the back door. If she doesn't have to go, she won't react. She also learned very quickly to only go potty in a certain corner of the yard. She's such a good girl.
Leash Trained: She is super easy to walk on the leash! She walks calmly beside me & is very tuned in to me. I didn't even have to ask her to "Wait" when I stopped! She just did it automatically when she saw that I stopped. With her little legs, she gets worn out easier than other dogs. She does well with just short walks, or playing around the house. She would be great for someone who is not very active, or wants a little dog to carry around (I would love that for her!).
Car: Great in the car, LOVES car rides & gets really excited when she sees that she gets to go with me :-)
Other issues: She has a healing wound on her left ear.

* Safe Haven STRONGLY believes that collars should only be used as decoration. A dog can slip out of collar. Which becomes a problem if your dog gets lost, or you are trying to restrain your dog, & it comes off. Also, attaching a leash to a collar puts pressure on the neck, which is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, & could hurt them. For these reasons, Safe Haven includes a harness with every dog adoption to ensure the safety of the dog, as a harness is more expensive than a collar & some adopters will not buy them for this reason. A harness distributes the weight on the chest & shoulders. It also has a handle on the back that you can grab if need be, without hurting your pet (EX: Dog falls off your boat, just grab the handle & pull your pet back in with no harm done. With a collar, you would have to strangle your dog when pulling your dog in). Also a dog cannot slip out of a harness, so it is much easier to restrain them & they will never loose their ID if they get lost.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bitsie - Only $75 adoption!, a Litchfield Park Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Litchfield Park, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Litchfield Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Litchfield Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Litchfield Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Litchfield Park paves the way for another one to be saved.
