Well bless their little cola guzzling hearts! 
I think the city planners need to start thinking about including wildlife areas in their designs. |

OH NO!!! mi no Quiero !!!!!!
It seems that every time we turn around, another beloved celebrity is passing away. Today, it is with heavy heart that we report yet another celebrity death. Rest in peace Gidget, the Chihuahua who starred in a series of Taco Bell commercials and made famous the phrase "ˇYo quiero Taco Bell!"
Gidget died of a stroke Tuesday at the ripe old age of 15, People Pets reports. She'd lived in comfortable semiretirement since the heyday of the Taco Bell advertising campaign, occasionally making cameo appearances (hawking insurance alongside the GEICO gecko in a 2002 commercial and playing the mother of Reese Witherspoon's Chihuahua, Bruiser, in the sequel to "Legally Blonde").
In the grand tradition of celebrities such as Marlene Dietrich who went before her, Gidget played against type in the Taco Bell ads, portraying a male dog voiced by Argentine American actor Carlos Alazraqui. A few years later, Alazraqui landed the role for which he's best known: Deputy James Garcia on Comedy Central's "Reno 911." But others associated with the ad campaign weren't so lucky. Earlier this year, the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the creators of the Chihuahua character hadn't been properly compensated for their work, and Taco Bell was ordered to pay $42 million.
Gidget's trainer, Sue Chipperton, described the diminutive dog as a consummate professional on the set in an interview earlier this year with People Pets. But, she said, Gidget had been the victim of typecasting, which limited her career choices (or, rather, Chipperton's choices on her behalf). Although her career waned in recent years, Gidget (and her catchphrase) remained a well-known pop-culture footnote of the 1990s. "She made so many people happy," Chipperton told People Pets.
As Horatio put it so memorably, "Now cracks a noble heart." Good night, sweet prince(ss). We'll miss you and your unerring ability to make us crave fast food.

| My thought is no news is good news usually. My daughter's boyfriend's cat still hasn't been found and his parents did do the drive around and post pics but still no kitty. |

I didn't ask the daughter's boyfriend if they checked there. They may have, I don't know. |

I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Our little kitty, Pumpkin, passed away on Thursday. She was doing pretty badly that morning, and I gave her enough meds to ease the transition. I have to admit I'm pretty sad. I miss her....... |

Hi Cat,
I have been nursing an eye infection and just got on the computer today. I was saddened to hear about Pumpkin Kitty.
My Ruthie Muffin is doing much better but is still pretty frail. She has always been a frail cat. I was always afraid to pick her up when she was a kitten because she seemed so delicate I was afraid of crushing her.
She spends at least a couple of hours curled up in my lap every day. |
