Hello Folks,
I wanted to show Pip's home post make over at the weekend, so to be different I thought I would make a short video tour of her home.
As you can see Pip has many hi-de holes and ramps and stuff to keep her occupied, she does like the various hiding places, and her new nest box which is actually for Chinchillas but I won't tell pip if you don't....

Hello Everyone.
Tonight I have very sad news to report to you all.

I found the brave Miss Pip in her forever sleep in the middle of her cage to say I am shocked would be the understatement of the year, I have re written this as my first posting was not right at all, the emotions where controlling my typing.

I truly hope that she suffered not, that is all I can wish for that it was quick and with out pain, my greatest regret was that I was not there with her at her end, oh I miss her so very much right now.....

Yesterday Pip was Pip I had put pics and a video of her with a Blackberry on her Instagram Page.
I am stunned, shocked and very very numb right now. I don't know what to say or do right now...................

Please do not be distressed at the Pic, but I wanted to show her in her final repose.

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm shocked, so can't imagine how you must be feeling. Pip was a lovely special girl and you gave her a wonderful life. It sounds as though she went quickly and peacefully so was not suffering for a long time. At least you can take comfort in that. I hope you are doing ok. My thoughts are with you. Xx

I have buried Miss Pip under our Jasmine Bush tonight wrapped in tissue, so when the Jasmine flowers in spring I will remember her with fond thoughts..
I am much more composed, what I wrote earlier seems jumbled and daft but I had tears running down this old face and my glasses where getting a bit steamed up
I have had to keep my self busy and have cleaned out Pip's cage and washed the things that are washable, the more personal things to Pip I have thrown away.
I am so numb, I keep looking up at her cage expecting to see her looking at me as she always has done.
I am assuming that she had a heart attack there seemed no signs of stress, though her nose lips etc had clear signs of cyanosis, it must have happened this afternoon as she had used her toilet as the sand was still damp.
On Pip's insta account she has had many lovely messages so far, she reached out to so many folk with her crazy antics, videos and above all her expressive face in her photos..
With so many photos I am going to make a photo book of her as a permanent reminder.

Her burial plot sounds like a wonderful homage to sweet Pip.

By what you describe, it does seem Pip passed peacefully.

I think a photo book is a wonderful idea.

What is the name of the Instagram account? I'd love to catch up on some fond memories of Pip.

NO!
Rads, I'm in a state of shock and as I write this the tears are running down my face.
Miss Pip was back to her cheeky self.
My heart goes out to you and that you're in my thoughts.
Pip will be so missed here, she always brought a huge smile to my face and gave me many laughs at her antics.
I'm glad you posted the pic, she looks so peaceful.
Big Hugs to you xxx
