Chihuahuas don't pose for no steenking pictures.
A Waitness and UPS driver brought a home for $445,000!? Really talk about being stupid.
I don't feel sorry one bit for people losing their homes to the bank. They should know the meaning to the word "budget" before anything else.
Those are probably the same people who fall for scams.
Steven... and then we taxpayers have to bail out the banks and all these morons... fuck them all!
Thanks for using my photograph, Dave!
And you're right, they don't pose. Or that one doesn't, anyway. We took the two of them for some dog magazine shoot and we had to hold her in place and rip our hands away at the last second before taking a picture.
To top it all off they only put $4,000 down!!!!
Complete idiots. Jezzzz.

Oh and thanks to the Government, the banks will get off easy and we'll have to pay for it too.
