    Try turning off your computer using the power button. Do not go through Start >> Turn Off , etc because that will save everything. Wait one minute then turn it back on.

    If that doesn't work, get a great dane and have him step on the keys and maybe he'll reverse what your chihuahua did. ;)

    It sounds like the resolution has been screwed up. I am not sure what OS you are using, but you can google how to change that.

    On the desktop right click and choose Properties >> Settings. You can change the resolution there.

    Ctrl + to zoom in and Ctrl - to zoom out. Or click Page >> Zoom and change the settings back to 100%.
