pippen...

Today is yet another gloomy day... for my terrapin, Pippen has passed away on this fateful day. I was not home when it passed on, and I didn't see its body, which is good perhaps as it would have made things worse if I had. From the day that Jordan passed on, I knew it would be Pippen's turn soon, what with its ailments. And true to that, it did leave us today, having, according to my brother, drowned.

Pippen actually fell off the stone it usually rests on and it fell into the water, legs up. Due to its failing leg, it couldn't turn itself around and drowned as a result. Perhaps it already was too weak for it had given up eating and all it seemed to do was lay on the stone and sleep.

Pippen, the smaller of the two, was usually picked on by the bigger Jordan. However, whenever they stacked together on the stone, with Pippen on top of Jordan, they looked so adorable. And I recall how Pippen used to be so frightened whenever my brother stood near to the tank, with it usually diving into the water in fear.

I'm sorry for leading to its demise. However, I hope it at least enjoyed the life I tried to provide for it. Goodbye Pippen. Hope you'll be merry with Jordan, once again.
