There's no easy way to announce this...Reesie finally just lost her battle with Cancer this morning.  She put up one heck of a fight though - she lasted half a year despite only being given a few months to live when she was diagnosed this Spring.

Last night we spent her last evening doing one of her favorite activities - watching Deer at the park!  She remained a goofball till the last minute whining at them from her copilot seat in my car.

Today, on her last morning - she remained hyper intelligent too!  When we walked into the Veterinarian's office I was told they needed to weigh her...so I just pointed across the room at the scale and said "up"...and she walked right over and stood on the scale, and then looked back at me.  I'll really miss her, and I know many others will too...

Note that you'll still see her pop up in ads for the next month or so as those are usually pre-recorded far before airing, but she is no longer with us. Also forgive me, but I will be pretty unplugged this Thanksgiving Break until Sunday Afternoon.  I need a break now more than ever...

Pay attention to announcements though - several reader mail requests for upcoming content will be dropped this week!  Though I am going through mourning now, I do still look forward to a lot of the content we are working on that is coming later this year!

Stay safe, and eat some Turkey everyone!

RIP Reesie. Tom, I'm so so sorry. Unfortunately my wife and I know what you're going through as we recently lost our German Shepherd, Sultan early this month. It hurts. Glad you were able to be with her. Nothing can match their companionship and loyalty, just try to find peace remembering the good times. And remember, all dogs go to heaven

Tom, my heart goes out to you. No dog's passing is easy, especially for one as beloved as Reesie. I'm so thankful you could make her life filled with joy and wonder until the very end. If only every pup could be given the same.

Sorry to hear that Tom, be well.

Justin MacNeil

So sorry to hear that Tom. Sounds like she was still herself right to the end and didn't suffer too much - if only we could ensure the same for our Human loved ones.

Bart

My condolences Tom, knowing her time might be near ensured you could at least spoil her and say goodbye before the end but I imagine that didn't make it any easier to lose her.

SennLife44

You gave her the best life she could've had. Sorry for your loss bud

LittleGermany

Hey Tom, sorry to hear the news about Reesie.

MortifiedVictim

I’m so sorry, man. She was such a good pup. This must be really hard for you and it’s too easy to push your feelings aside and pour yourself into work. I’ve done that too many times in my life and it doesn’t feel good. Taking the proper time, getting support and working through this (as much as you can right now) is the most important thing for your wellbeing.
