  • With great sadness, I want to let everyone know that sweet little Pepper has gone to compete in the Hedgehog Warrior course in the sky on the morning of Christmas Eve 💔. I didn’t want to make anyone sad for Christmas and I needed a little time to put together this tribute video for her so I waited to let anyone know....this highlight reel could have been over an hour but I tried to keep it under 10 minutes...
    Though it’s tough to not have Pepper with us anymore, I had a sense the time had come and you can take some comfort in knowing she took her last nap peacefully while resting on my chest.
    Besides being an endless source of positivity for me during a rough 2020 with my business being shut down (this montage shows I had A LOT more time on my hands than I realized), Pepper made her mark, literally worldwide, in ways I could never have imagined when I uploaded her first obstacle course video back in April.
    I want to thank everyone from her Vets who cared for her at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital to all of her adoring fans across the globe for the thousands of positive comments, shares, kind messages and personal stories of how a cute little Hedgehog positively impacted your life in 2020...it’s thanks to all of you that her legacy as the original American Hedgehog Warrior will live on forever. Rest easy Pepper, the world loves you and will miss you 💔🦔 #myfriendscallmepepper #tuckthetank #americanhedgehogwarrior #friendofpepper

    I almost cried when I saw that pepper had passed away, but if peppers owner is reading this, just know that you are not alone, something that has helped me feel better is listening to songs about pet loss and looking at pictures of our passed away pet, and knowing that I'm not alone. I hope this helped someone who has experienced pet loss. weather if it was the smallest hamster or the biggest horse, we all love them no matter what.

    In a year full of surprises (mostly bad let’s be honest) I never would have expected to fall in love with a hedgehog. But Pepper was no ordinary hedgehog. She was a warrior par excellence, and she had great power. The power to distract us for a few minutes from the bugged up world, and make life feel normal for a bit. Rest in peace your precious little soul❤️

And, you have not only been a great guardian for our little friend, but you brought joy to millions during a time that, otherwise, has not always been cheerful. Your good humor and love shines on. I know Pepper benefitted greatly and knew every minute of every day that she was loved. ❤
