Today started very sad but then again I knew that it was going to be one of those days before it began. You see, our dog Casey has lived a long, happy life with us but his age finally caught up with his spirit as his health declined. Ember and I decided that we would take the trip to the veterinarian's office on Thursday morning if Casey did not make a miraculous recovery.He was pretty frail by Wednesday evening but we made him as comfortable as possible and tucked him in for the night. This morning we found him laying peacefully right were we left him.
I have been trying to go on as normal, but I know it will not be the same at home without Casey running around.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Rest in assurance that your dog went peacefully.
Todd,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart and thoughts go out to you. I know a pet is just as real a person in the family as a human being. Please no that at least they are not suffering any longer.
Todd,
My heart is breaking for you and your family. I really do not know what else to say. My little one is 11 1/2 years old, and I am already dreading that day, but I know she will have lead a good life, as I am sure your precious one did. She is in a great place now. Thoughts are with you.

Condolences, Todd. You may have seen this before, but it is always comforting...
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
ll the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER...
I lost my Valentine on her 15th birthday earlier this year. It was the hardest thing I've even gone through. My prayers are with you.
So sad about your puppy. I'm so sorry.
I saw you still worked today. The school story. Could have been pretty dull and you made it work.
Nice job getting the interview going the other screen direction. It was probably the best looking one of all and made me smile because I knew you probably worked harder to set that one up than the other interviews. Have you tried the same idea even when they are looking at you on the left of the camera? Just to try and achieve that consistent level of quality.
Another day of big improvement on your delivery. Noticable again. Your pushing, I can tell. That's good. Keep going!
You don't really end your sentences. They kind of just lay there when you reach the final word or two. Use your tone of voice to indicate more of an end to the sentence. It adds credibiity for the viewer when they hear a more confident ending...as well as beginnning. You had several good "beginnings" but both are important.
Just like a full story, each sentence needs a beginning, middle and end. The length of each element can vary but all three should exist. Sometimes at the same time with a single word but...I won't go there.
Tough day for you and you still pulled off an improvement from all the stories before.
Keep it up. You're on the right track.

Oh, Todd. :( My heart goes out to you and Ember. It's never easy to say goodbye to someone you have loved for so long, and I can imagine the pain you both must be going through right now.
Hi Todd, I know exactly how you feel, Our family dog, who was a girl poodle named Miss Vickie had to be put down on October 3, 2001 and I too are having a hard time adjusting to not having her running around and licking me like crazy. But I know she is finally at peace and no longer in pain, so just hang in there.
