Actually there were 3 dogs in all... A male named Dinky was originally the main dog...but I guess Gidget was a better actress....Dinky did stick around tho as one of Gidget's stand ins. *lol* The other dog was named Taco.

Wait, there was another dog in the world named Dinky? That was the name of my first dog....

Me too. I was so sad when I heard. It made me think of my own 12 yr old chi, Cujo. It's all a matter of time

Though I sent a text to my friend and he replied "Not dead. With Elvis and Tupac." YAY!

Tupac walking a chihuahua? Yeah, that's the very essence of Thug Life.

We sort of something like that a while ago, with the Simpsons characters.

My dad used to collect the stuffed talking chihuahuas that Taco Bell sold during that time. Too bad they've been lost to the winds. I remember he had one that said the lines from the Godzilla commercial.

The 90s were full of win.

I would say 3 years is a long time, my friend. And I'd be interested to see some casting involving something other than the Simpsons. The Technodrome version of Lord of the Rings, perhaps.

I want to be a hobbit, so I won't have to shave my feet.

I remember a magazine cover from when Mr. T first became a household name, and it showed him posing with several kittens on his shoulders.

Well, Gidget lived a long life for a dog. I also have the talking Chihuahuas from Taco Bell. I have one that says, "Viva Gordita!" I also have the one that says, "I think I'm in love.' as well as the "Here leezard, leezard."
