Wow, I can't believe all the nasty answers here. Things happen people. Don't feel bad, they are a very small breed that are known to be around the feet/ankles. Just keep an eye on if he is eating or acting strange. Chiuahua's are very strong breeds, hell I'm more scared of them than rotties lol...
Give him lots of luv, he's probably more confused as to what he did to earn that than anything else. Any sign, besides perhaps not around you feet anymore, like a swollen tummy, not eating after a couple of days, then yes, take him in to the vet, just for your piece of mind.

Im sure he will be fine. Unless you punted him for a field goal. Although chihuahua's are small trust me they are tougher than you think. My mastiff plays with this little chihuahua all the time and she does quite a number to that little thing and man is he tough. You should be more careful though but we all know how chihuahuas tend to always be right where you are trying to walk.If the dog was really hurt he would let you know. dogs naturally beat on each other a bit to show who is in charge so a little kick wouldnt be anything more than a playful paw slap from a large breed. I know it sounds harsh and i am sure lots of people will vote against me but i am telling you from personal expierence and i am in veterinary school, dogs have a much higher threshhold for pain than humans. He will be fine. As long as he isnt whimpering and moving any different than normal he already forgot about it.

If he isn't walking around with his back all humped up and whimpering, he's probably ok. It was an accident, don't be hard on yourself...shuffling your feet like one of the other posters suggested is a good idea.
My uncle stepped on his cat and it broke his pelvis...poor little guy never did walk right again after that...

He should be ok, just keep an eye on him for any unusual signs. It was an accident and I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt him. Just be a little more careful. What might help, is to attach a little bell to his collar, they sell them in pet stores, and that way you can keep better track of where he is. Give him lots of love, attention and cuddles!

Don't stress too much, they are a little dog and get in around your feet so it's hard to avoid giving them a knock every now and then. Just keep and eye on him and get him to the vet if he starts to look out of sorts.

He'll be fine. Just love him up and watch out for the little guy. I always move really slow around the house cause there are two dogs and four cats always under my feet or behind me!

as long as he isn't yipping, hiding, avoiding you or won't let you touch him he should be fine. Just give him a few treats and extra cuddle time to help with the guilt of accidently kicking the poor thing. I do the same thing with my cat, course he's always underfoot anyways so it's mostly his fault but I still feel guilty.

I hope he's ok -- small dogs such as the breed you own have VERY delicate bones & body - you MUST be more careful ifyou want to keep your petsafe - I''d feel & press around on his body & legs for the next few days continue checking him out i he yelps or does anything wierd walks funny etc anyjthing take him to the vet

he is okay as long as he didnt yelp or cry or something when you kicked him. you should be more careful around your dog next time since he IS chihuahua, and they have delicate bone structures. if he doesnt walk funny or limp or the like, he'll be fine.
if you are doubtful and REALLY concerned, ask your friendly vet.
