Taco Bell Chihuahua Dies at 15
Quote:
http://omg.yahoo.com/news/taco-bell-...at-15/25534?nc Gidget, the famed Chihuahua who appeared in Taco Bell ads, died Tuesday at the age of 15.
Karen McElhatton, Gidget's owner, tells Usmagazine.com the dog was with her trainer, Sue Chipperton, watching television when she began making "strange noises" and suffered a stroke.
Before the dog's death, "She had a good day and was running around as normal," McElhatton tells Usmagazine.com. "We're happy that she was very well off right until the end."
Gidget -- whose "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" spots debuted in September 1997 -- also had a cameo in Legally Blonde 2, in addition to appearing in other TV spots.
We enjoyed working with Gidget, and she will be missed by many," a Taco Bell spokesperson tells Us in a statement. "Our deepest sympathies go out to her owners and fans."
The dog had an exceptionally happy life, her owner says.
"She lived like a queen," McElhatton tells Us. "She had a great life. We're very sad. She's a wonderful little dog."
McElhatton tells Us the dog will likely be cremated.
Adds McElhatton: "She was old. Of course, we were hoping she'd be around for a few more years, but if you have a dog that lives that long, you can't really complain."

I didn't know that dog was a girl.

I LOVED that dog. Especially when it became well known that she was a girl. I don't know why, I'm not particularly fond of animals, but she was adorable. It's nice that she had such a long and full life. "Yo quiero Taco Bell!"

I didn't either, which is why I changed my post from "he" to "she".

I saw this on the news. I didn't know it was a girl, but the cool ones usually are...Toto was a girl But it caught me off guard moreso that her name was "Gidget."

Thos commercials are the reason that my Spanish students can say "quiero"; back in the day, it took kids awhile.

Is it wrong that I found this funny within the dog context?

Well, if you ever want to reminisce and see her doing her thing, she's in a clip of Legally Blonde.
