In the video, Pablo baits the very patient Ramsey with the toy, all the while doing what we call The Very Vicious Growl. Ramsey very carefully inches closer and closer to the toy while Pablo keeps a close eye on the progress, leading to louder growls and bigger head jerks.

When Ramsey pretends to lose interest, Pablo shoves the toy back into his face before yanking it back again.

Pablo and Ramsey have their own blog (though it appears to be neglected), as well as a Facebook fan page.

Evil Chihuahua

Heart-kun’s baby brother, called Love-kun, was born August 3rd at the same pet shop where Heart-kun was born and raised.

In the video above we get an extremely cute peek at Heart-kun as a puppy, hopping around crazily in her pen after she spots the video camera.

We then get to see Heart-kun’s first meeting with her newborn brother. She doesn’t look like she quite knows what to expect, but she appears to not let it bother her too much since we see some adorable photos of her and Love-kun a little bit later!

Heart-kun became an international sensation soon after her birth because of her unique mark, and shop keeper Emiko Sakurada said that out of the hundreds of dogs she’s bred she had never seen one like her.

Heart Mark Makes a Second Appearance

It’s a sad day for fans of animal spokes…persons?

Gidget, the cute little Chihuahua made famous in Taco Bell commercials for the phase “Yo quiero Taco Bell,” (”I want Taco Bell!”) passed away last night from a stroke at the age of 15.

The Taco Bell spokesdog was initially played by a chihuahua named Dinky, who was quickly replaced by Gidget. Argentine American actor Carlos Alazraqui did the voice work for the commercials.

The Taco Bell spots starring Gidget began airing in the Northeast U.S. in 1997 and the response was so good that they began airing nationwide not long after, and Americans across the country clamored for their own little “Taco Bell dogs.”

Gidget also participated in a “cross-over” commercial with the Geico gecko in 2002, and did some big-screen acting as Bruiser’s mom “Moonie” in the movie Legally Blond 2, starring Reese Witherspoon.

Gidget the Taco Bell Dog Dies

This is so sweet: Actor Mickey Rourke’s beloved 18-year-old chihuahua Loki passed away suddenly last week, just a day after Mickey had told a gossip rag that he planned to take the little dog to the Oscars with him.

Mickey found a way to bring Loki with him just the same with a sweet little picture pendant necklace, which he wore to both the Academy Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards. During a red carpet interview he said he’d trade in any award for more time with little Loki:

“It’s bittersweet. I said to myself I’d rather have Loki for another two years than an Oscar. And I told her that. But she stayed as long as she could, you know,” he said sadly. “She’s the love of my life. She made it until six days ago. She left me at a time where, after 18 years, she knew I’d be all right.”

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go cuddle a chihuahua of my own.

Well, my chihuahuas don’t go “beep beep!” but one in Detroit does!

For the last four months Peanut the chihuahua’s owner, Ken Brown, has been building the three year-old dog a remote controlled Volkswagen Beetle!

It’s not finished yet but he says when it is it’ll have turn signals, spinners, a horn, headlights and a padded seat. He hopes to have it done by Memorial Day weekend:

Brown said the car will go up to 15 m.p.h., but he plans to slow the engine so Peanut won’t have such a bumpy ride. And if the car ends up on YouTube, who knows?

“Maybe I can build one for Paris Hilton and her Chihuahua,” Brown joked.

As the comments in the article say, it’s a good way to turn Peanut into peanut butter!
