I didn’t post a story yesterday because I was too consumed by grief. Gidget died.

RIP Gidget (aka Taco Bell Dog) 1994 – July 22, 2009

Gidget appeared in Taco Bell ads from 1997-2000, and also appeared in the horror movie Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, co-starring with Reese “Weirdface” Witherspoon.

Gidget was also a woman female dog. A lot of people thought the Taco bell dog was a man dog because it had the voice of a homeless mariachi in the commercials.

I’ll start crying if I have to manually type how Gidget died, so I copied this snippet from Wikipedia. Get your tissues ready people. Some fuckin’ tears are gonna fall.

On Tuesday July 21, 2009, she was happy and active. She appeared to be fine and happy until the very end when, while she and her trainer were watching TV, she suffered a massive stroke. She was euthanized the next day.

I’m sorry, I have to go now. Can’t stop crying on my keyboard. GIDGETTTTTTT!!!

15 years is a long time for a rat to live.
