Sheesh, that's old news...why bring it up now?

As two chihuahuas' pet, I am sick and tired of hearing "yo quiero Taco Bell"
from people teasing my smoothcoat chi-wa-wa - yes, the Cheech (AKC name
Napoleonito Rojo d Santa Ana) knows what Taco Bell is & he is rather fond of the
soft taco supreme & nachos, but no, he doesn't speak Spanish - he's an
Okie...and "yo" means "I" not "you" so the appropriate familiar way to say it as
a question is "Tu quiero Taco Bell?" The new puppy (a longcoat chi named
Kotickee Papa's Little Pillow, aka "Pill" & yes, there is such a thing as a
longcoat chihuahua) is too young to know Taco Bell yet....

As an active breed rescue representative (see http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com),
I have problem with Taco Bell's ad agency in that they have not emphasized the
most important aspect of Dinky's life - *SHE* was a dog that was dumped at a
shelter, rescued, and successfully placed with her trainer - her
backup/understudy is also a rescue dog...Since the Taco Bell commercials began
airing, we've seen an increase in really stooopid ads by back-yard breeders
trying to make a buck off the situation - it is very sad for the dogs - we are
starting to see the same phenomena with that occurred with 101 Dalmations,
Lassie, & Rin-Tin-Tin - lots of chihuahuas in shelters. 

Dinky does NOT meet the breed standard (see
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/3253/standard.html for a good pictorial
explanation of the breed standard). That doesn't make Dinky any less loved by
her owner/trainer, but it also doesn't make a good excuse for breeding dogs that
do not meet the breed standard & sell them as Taco Bell dogs. 

While I'm on my soapbox, let me also say,
	THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TEACUP CHIHUAHUA
and, anyone who tells you otherwise is clueless or lying to you, also if they
tell you the chi is hypo-allergenic or cures asthma...There is no such thing as
a hypo-allergenic dog - I am allergic to dogs & I have two chis - if they don't
have regular baths, my allergies go crazy....

And, BTW, it's "commercials" not "commericals". Now, either post clueful,
accurate posts or log off net kook with posting-style resembling a net kook
named David....and, if you are David, quit morphing...I had you kill-filed....
