Gone But Not Forgotten

Remember the Taco Bell ads featuring the chihuahua? I loved those. There’s just something about a cute dog speaking, using an even cuter accent.

Sadly, the dog, actually a female named Gidget, recently passed at the ripe old age of 15.

Here’s a brief video clip in remembrance of her.

This may be old news for some of you, but I think Gidgey deserves to be remembered.

“Yo quiero Taco Bell.”

“Viva gorditas!”

This next one is a rip-off, but I love it!

As an aside… wanna hear something funny? Eric was moseying around the house while I was creating this post. He saw me watching the various videos on YouTube and said, “Uh, why are you watching those?” He was standing behind me at the time petting Moses. So, in a normal voice, I told him the Taco Bell chihuahua had died.

“Oh,” he replied.

“It’s just sad,” I said quietly, in a pretty-convincing, tear-filled voice.

“What?” he said.

So I did a little fake sob and said, louder, in a voice even thicker with tears, “It’s just SAD!”

“Shut up,” he replied.

“Yeah, I almost had you, didn’t I?”

‘No, not really. But if you were crying over the death of the Taco Bell dog, I was going to have to, like, run upstairs and pack a suitcase.”
