R.I.P. Gidget

Goodbye to little Gidget, the Taco Bell spokesdog, who elevated all small dogs to the rank of winner, Alpha for sure. A Chihuahua, Gidget was fifteen when she passed. Who will ever forget the immortal lines, "Yo quiero Taco Bell?" It just shows that there are no small dogs, only small people, and I ought to know. I send this missive from the Governor's mansion in Albany, New York. Yes, I am THAT Cheerio. Recent headline about me - "Bite-sized Biter Bites Again!" As if, but that's for another post. Right now, it's about Gidget, no bottom bitch at all but a "consummate pro," according to her trainer. 

You can be short, skinny, vaguely weird-looking, but you can earn millions (of biscuits), have a major career, and spend hours chomping on beef burritos. Now that's living!

A shout-out to you, Gidget, from another small but mighty dog, Cheerio.

pit bull vs palin

  Pit Bulls everywhere shuddered at Sarah Palin's incredibly insensitive remarks about our human counterparts.  

  Loose lips Sarah...  compared  to soccer moms we are the most relaxed and gentle of creatures.  And some of us have even been known to apply a little mouth candy and a wisp of blush where it can do the most good. Nothing offsets a good snarl than a double coat of Revlon's fire engine red.

   You should know that you appear in our hall of shame right after Michael Vick.  Howls of joy around the animal planet greeted your decision to give Alaskan's a break and concentrate on higher things.  Pick on Great Danes why don't you?  

book group for bonzo

Hey girlfriend or girlsie or whatever your name is.  Trouble here.  I have to say these literary guys know their way around a pooch.  I have been sitting here in my padded boudoir watching all those so called reality shows and nary a dog in sight. I mean they are there as accessaries but not one juicy power role. I think we should start a book group and catch up on our literary brothers and sisters.  I hear there are whole books devoted to us dogs and poetry too. What do you say ?  Lassie any one???
