Koohii stories:

1) [abaddon] 14-6-2008(25): Old evil altar, chihuahua with extra leg: They opened up the old evil altar in the ancient temple. Nothing inside. But suddenly, their chihuahua grew an extra leg, and started speaking in a strange language. Time for an exorcism, one would say.

2) [blannk] 5-12-2009(8): When grandma's chihuahua developed the extra leg we thought an exorcism in order. We did it on a very old altar. It was not successful.

3) [mcfate] 4-2-2008(3): A three-legged dog has an exorcism performed on a cheap resin altar (see 祀 enshrine (#2992 祀)). Note that the right-hand half of this character is the simplified Chinese form of "dragon" (犮, instead of 竜 in Japanese).

4) [mantixen] 2-8-2009(2): Your friend, barking like a dog, is put on the altar for an exorcism.

5) [Boy.pockets] 4-3-2011(1): Back in the [old] days, before they knew about the birds and the bees, they put the poor little chihuahua on the altar (note [old]), and did an exorcism on his third leg.
