Gidget passed away last night at the age of 15. She was the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign. I loved these commercials and so here are a few of them to remember why everyone in the entire country kept saying Yo Quiero Taco Bell. Constantly.
so gidget's gone to the big taco in the sky...rip little doggie.
ReplyDeleteAw, I remember when those commercials were EVERYWHERE.
ReplyDeleteI hate these little yapping ankle nippers, so I don't get the sads when one of them dies.
ReplyDeleteI just checked dlisted, who has this story too, and he called this summer, the summer of death. I laughed a lot. The end.
ReplyDelete@ Sue Ellen Mishkey, glad I'm not the only one who laughed at MK's Summer Of Death comment.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather read a story about Gidget than another about Jon and Kate.
RIP Gidget. 15 is a long life for a doggy, hope it was a happy one.
ReplyDeleteaww, I loved that dog. Mine was similar looking, but black fur.
ReplyDeleteI have the whols stuffed Gidget collection from Taco Bell---RIP Gidget.
ReplyDeleteChihuahuas have an undeserved bad reputation. Mine (Benicio del Toro) has a wonderful personality (caninality?). On walks he runs up to everyone he sees squeaking with joy.
ReplyDeleteMy son is obsessed with that dog ( rip giget! )now that he has started reading the Skippy John Jones series..or rather since I have been reading it to him..moms if you haven't yet, you must get those books for the littles..its about a Siamese cat who is obsessed with being a Chihuahua..cutest thing ever.

How sad!!! My Mom loved this doggy!!! Chihuahuas are the best little dogs ever.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son(18) has a Chihuahua named Lucy, who looks just like Gidget. We used to take her to the nursing home my Mom was in for visits, and everyone fell in love with her.
Viva Chihuahuas!!!
