Dios Mio....

Hasta Luego, Chica



Gidget — the Chihuahua made famous by the Taco Bell advertising campaign — died of a stroke at age 15.

Here is a sampling of her starring roles.....





No one said “Yo quiero Taco Bell.” quite like Gidget.

    With sympathies to Gidget's family.

    Perhaps PJB can take her place?

    In lieu of flowers should we send Milkbones somewhere?

    Gidget eh? That's cute. That's Imp's nickname. Well, that was her "before she was born name" and what we called her for a long time. Still do sometimes.

    Oiy! I'm babbling. It's time for bed.

    Nitey night Grandma J!

    GJ, is it bad that this makes me more sad than the death (and subsequent media barrage)of MJ?

    I had no idea that dog's name was Gidget! I thought it would be something like Lupita!

    I am thinking all those years pretending to be a male totally exhausted her ...

    Ah, Gidget - the dog who taught me how to speak Spanish.

    Well, the most important phrases, anyways...Haste Luego, Muchacha.

    Awwwww! I'm sorry she's gone! Glad our little Chihuahua is still doing so well. She's getting up there in years as also.
