Folsom Village's mascot,  Chiggers, belongs to the rare Buffalo Dog breed.  This nearly extinct breed once roamed the great plains in teeming droves, following their primary food source the buffalo as they migrated across the vast prairies.  Today, it is difficult to imagine the ferocious power exhibited by these tiny dogs as they swarmed upon the buffalo herds in great hoards of seething teeth and paws.

Reports abound from early settlers of this desolate land regarding the buffalo dogs.  Many stories are recorded of groups as large as 50,000 dogs.  Images of swarming, darting, vicious packs of these creatures descending upon helpless herds of buffalo earned the little buffalo dog an undeserved reputation for savagery.  Today, the little dog has been successfully domesticated, and exhibits few reminders of its past behavior (except for eating the occasional cat or two).
 

Breed:                    Buffalo Dog    (Bufalosaurus Carnivorous)
Average height:    6 to 7 inches at the front shoulder
Average weight:    11.7 pounds (soaking wet)

Chigger's List of Pet Peeves When you run away in the middle of a perfectly good leg humping. Blaming your farts on me...not funny. Yelling at me for barking...I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG YOU IDIOT!! How you naively believe that the stupid cat isn't all over everything while you're gone. Have you noticed that your toothbrush tastes a little like cat butt? Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly who's walk is this anyway? Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...stop it. Yelling at me for rubbing my "rear" on your carpet. Why'd you buy carpet? Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet...idiot. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth - you're just jealous. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed the fur? Imbecile. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew up your stuff when you're not home. When you pick up the poop piles in the yard. Do you realize how far behind schedule that puts me? Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out everytime we go back. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain, you nitwit. Author Unknown - thanks be to Traci and her awesome powers of forwarding
