Contagious
Contagious: (Adjective) Of a disease spread from one person to another by direct or indirect contact.Paris Hilton has been blamed with starting an epidemic of abandoned chihuahuas in animal shelters across California. The problem has apparently gotten so bad that some shelters have banned anyone under the age of 21 from adopting miniature dogs.
Chihuahua Club of America head Lynnie Bunten tells the National Enquirer, "Chihuahuas are not a toy or a fashion accessory. But because some people think they are -- then realize they're wrong -- there's a growing problem of abandoned Chihuahuas." (Source)
Well, that definitely sucks for the poor animals. But... On the bright side, this is probably the only time Paris Hilton will ever be blamed for starting an epidemic that doesn't end up requiring hazmat suits and community vaccinations.

After watching the Westminster Dog Show, I must comment on the awful practice of multiplying the "popular" breeds as an accessory...
The dogs you see at Westminster are the BEST EXAMPLES OF THE BREED. They are not cross-eyed, ill-tempered or so retarded they cannot walk. That's why the winner, a Sussex Spaniel, was not a dumb box of hair (unlike most Spaniels).
The overbred, genetic-fuck-ups you see in girls' purses are the unfortunate results of someone's greed. Those are dogs that should be put down, sad but true. The "dog" has been bred out of it.
