Sad Day..flags at half staff

When I first figured out you could play Unreal, online, with real people, The 1st server I went in to was Sickpups..and saw a bunch of people with weird names and -(DOG)- at the end of their names. It was at this time that the Taco Bell dog hype was at its highest. Also, one of my favorite Peanuts characters is Charlie Brown...and I am Mexican.She charmed millions without ever saying a word, and managed to make fast food tacos adorable. Gidget, the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign, died from a stroke on Tuesday night at age 15.
"She made so many people happy," says Gidget's trainer, Sue Chipperton. PEOPLE met both Gidget and Sue at a Hollywood animals photo shoot in February, where the pup was a consummate pro and delighted the crew with her playful nature.
The mostly retired actor lived out her days lying in the sun – "I like to joke that it's like looking after a plant," says Chipperton – and entertaining at shoots when her trainer brought her along. "Gidget," says Chipperton, "always knew where the camera was."
SO...Good Ol' Charlie Brown
PLUS...The Taco Bell Dog
BECAME...GoodOleTaco-(DOG)-
