Our loving, gentle, loyal golden slipped away peacefully last night after a short illness surrounded by his family.
In his long and happy life Pip touched many hearts. Run free, dear friend, until we meet again.
Pip the Golden Retriever, 7 July 2010 to 22 September 2024. 🐾
Our precious Pip died naturally at 9:45 last Sunday with his family around him. Just hours earlier, he lay in the sunshine in a favourite spot in our garden.
We will, for now, continue posting on Throwback Thursdays and if we have relevant news.
Thank you for following Pip. 🐾

Our family would like thank you and everyone else who replied to our post yesterday.
We’re overcome by your kind words and are reading every message as it arrives. We find it difficult to reply just now.
Here’s our lovely Pip enjoying our garden just hours before he left us. 💔
If you’ve never met me before, would you follow me? My name is Pip! I am a golden retriever.
I would make you feel very welcome, would follow you back and might share your best pix!

Pip is feeling a bit better this evening and even managed a short walk, but has a way to go.
Thank you for your lovely messages. We’ve read them all and we’re touched by your concern for him. 🐾

Our lovely vet saw Pip just 36 hours before he died peacefully at home and gave us wonderful, thoughtful advice.
After Pip passed away, the surgery very kindly sent us his paw prints for us to fame. 🐾

Look who’s feeling much better today! He even managed a walk with his Human Mum.
If you sent us a message about Pip during that past two or three difficult days, thank you. Your kind words and encouragement mean a lot to us.

Would you stop and say ‘hello’ if we passed each other on this lovely path across Royal Tunbridge Wells Common?

Pals, I’m now a senior dog...
I joined Twitter on the first day of the Year Of The Dog and planned to leave on the last day...
... but I didn’t and am still here, but need your advice...
... should I leave or keep posting my adventures?
You decide...
🌥️🐶⛪️
The Twitter folk just told me that more than 25,000 of you now follow my adventures.
I don’t know what to bark, except to say a massive ‘thank you’. If only one person each day enjoys my posts, that makes my day!
Love you! 💕

Does this look like a happy dog who enjoyed TWO breakfasts today? 🤔
If your Mum offered you breakfast, would you tell her that Dad had already provided it? 🤭

Today we say goodbye to Sawyer, Edinburgh’s golden tour guide. We were privileged to walk with you.
Until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand. 🐾
Good night my friends! This is my last walk as tomorrow I'll join my brothers Finn and Stirling. Don't worry- we'll continue to give tours over the Rainbow Bridge!
It's been my honour to be your guide to
#Edinburgh
and
#Scotland
. Until we see each other again!
Love,
Sawyer

Happy Saturday!
Thank you to everyone who posted birthday greetings for me yesterday. We’re touched by all your lovely kind comments. 😍

This film, which I posted earlier, has been banned by Instagram as unacceptable in Samoa, Guam, the Marianas, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. 😨
When you think about the horrible stuff social media should ban, is Pip walking in a predestination precinct really offensive?” 😵💫
🌦️🐶☔️
It was raining when I last walked here, but next time The Pantiles will be decorated for Christmas!
The ‘big reveal’ takes place today from 4:30pm onwards!
