I hope everything works out with Dogmo.
-
My thoughts are with you and Dogmo and TT, Tom.
-
Oh man...bad news. I'm very sorry to hear about this Tom. My thoughts and I'm sure everybody's are with you.
-
condolences, if I understand correctly
-
I was so hoping the "situation" had nothing to do with Dogmo. I'm so, so sorry, Tom.
-
My thoughts are with you and Ms. Barberie, Tom. I've been there and it's just about the worst feeling in the world. I know it's not easy right now, but just try to remember the good times and think about how much you enriched her life (and she yours).
-
Thoughts are with you Tom. Never posted here before, but a long time listener compelled to send good thoughts.
-
Oh Tom- I am so sorry!
-
I'm so sorry to hear this, Tom.
-
My family lost a pet this week also. My condolences Tom.
-
I'm so sorry!
-
My condolences Tom and TT.
-
ugh - so sorry man
-
Best wishes, Tom. I'll be giving my two cats extra hugs and treats in tribute, and making sure I cherish our time together.
-
Losing a pet is the worst. I'm sorry, Tom.
-
I'm so sorry for your family's loss.
-
Really, really sorry to hear that. Terrible news.
-
I'm truly sorry for your loss, Tom. Best wishes.
-
So sorry to hear about this. Glad that Dogmo will live on through that awesome Tom cover and tote.
-
My condolences. It's a very sad thing.
-
My sincere condolences. One of my best friends has a super-cool dog that's getting on in years, so even though I've never owned one I know how you feel.
-
Condolences, Tom. Having an animal companion is a very special, very meaninful thing.
-
She's a celebrity by now... think of everybody who's gonna be walking around, all over the world, with a bag with her face on it... she'll be the envy of every dog in doggy heaven! You were the bestest master in the whole wild world. :)
-
I am so sorry, Tom. Losing a dog creates the most helpless, crushing feelings.
I will be taking Hurley on an extra long walk tonight after work....
-
Jesus, that's terrible. I'm truly sorry.
-
I lost a longtime pet in recent years, it was definitely rough in a way I wasn't really prepared for. Hope you're doing OK.
-
Sorry for your loss Tom, really sad news.
-
Truly sorry, Tom. I send love and hugs.
-
I'm so sorry, Tom.
-
I'm sorry for your loss.
-
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Tom. All of your fans are mourning with you.
-
My condolences, Tom. Sorry about your family's loss.
-
Dogmo will be missed for sure. Non dog people oftentimes won't understand the pain that comes with losing a dog, but it can be such a huge blow. The important thing to remember is that you rescued her and gave her a great life. Long live Dogmo!
-
I'm very saddened to hear about Dogmo. I know how it feels to lose a pet because it's happened to me many times. But you'll always remember the great times you had with her. Those memories will last for a lifetime.
I think all of us listeners are mourning the loss today.
Best wishes to you and yours in this time of grief Tom.
Rest In Peace, Dogmo.
-
Tom, I'm truly sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. I can honestly say I've never encountered a dog more beloved from a distance, by so many people. For what its worth, from that distance, I too will miss her.
I just found this video of the old girl in better days, but I hope it's not inappropriate or in bad taste to share it here. My apologies if so, I just think its a nice tribute.

-
Condolences to you and yours, Tom.
-
Yes, how very sad.
Condolences.
-
This is terrible. I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Tom. It's obvious to all that Dogmo meant the world to you. I'm sure she had a wonderful life, and that you were a wonderful master. My deepest condolences.
-
Very sad news indeed... I'm sorry for your loss Tom.
-
Condolences to you for the loss of the #1 FOT.
Dogmo forever!
-
Very sad to hear this news. Take care.
-
Dogs shouldn't be allowed to die.
-
Sorry to hear about this, Tom. I feel like a joke about feasting on human blood is needed in memory of her, but damned if I can't come up with it. Viva the memory of Dogmo!
-
The things we love the most are those we know won't last.
-
Sorry to hear about Dogmo, Tom... My condolences.
-
Sorry to hear the sad news, Tom.
It's rough, but you will eventually be able to think about her and smile.
-
ugh.
-
Agreed.
Ditto for
The things we love the most are those we know won't last.

for whatever reason, i find it necessary to admit that last nite i had a dream this happened. i had a dogmo tattoo, resembling the graphic on the tote bag, and people were asking me about it. i dont remember much else other than i found out not long after i got the tattoo that Tom lost Dogmo. i was saddened in my dream and woke up, prepared to share this odd dream on the board in the "Best Show Dreams" thread.
unfortunately, i logged onto twitter first and was not only shocked and mortified to read this terrible news, but i find myself slightly traumatized by the circumstances. admittedly, i cried. yes, i cried for Dogmo. perhaps thats weird, i dont know, but im deeply saddened by this loss, even if i merely "knew" Dogmo through Tom and the show. i wouldnt be surprised if my tears were really for Tom, truly a stand up guy who makes my life better every week.
at any rate, my thoughts, my heart, and my sincerest condolences go out to you, Tom.
-
So sorry to hear this.
-
Very very sad to hear about Dogmo, condolences to the Scharpling household.
-
Very sorry Tom. Dogmo was loved by many.
-
Sorry to hear about Dogmo. I love that video on YouTube of Dogmo just doing it, even though she's just sitting there. Seems like an awesome dog.
-
My condolences- I'm so sorry for your loss. Dogmo always seemed like a fantastic dog.
-
I'm so sorry for your loss. May she feast on human flesh/Beneful in doggy heaven.
-
Sorry for your loss, Tom.
-
I'm so sorry, Tom.
-
I'm really sorry to hear about this, Tom. My thoughts are with you and your family.
-
I am very sorry to hear this news. It's unreal how sad it can be to lose a pet. Bless your heart, Tom.
-
Sorry about your loss Tom. Hugging my dog now.
-
Very sad to hear this, my condolences.
I always enjoyed hearing about Dogmo mentioned on the Best Show, she seemed like a fantastic dog.
-
My condolences, as well, Tom.
-
So sorry hear to about this. My condolences to you and Ms. Barberie at this difficult time.
-
Oh no. I was away and just saw this. I am so, so sorry for your loss, Tom.

i had no idea-- pls forgive my thoughtless comment earlier
i have lost a few furry friends over the years-- but it never gets any easier to have to say goodbye again
from what you always said about her, it sounds like she had a great run
we'll miss you dogmo!!! :'(
-
Tom, I was never a pet person in general, so I could not even try to relate to how deep this is.
What I do know is the spirit and joy in your voice at the mere on-air mention of Dogmo that goes beyond the way you carry the show routinely, how inspiring he must have been to your art, and what strength I KNOW he gave you to take the dregs and factory wrapped d-bags that crossed your path with the humor we know and love you for.
And we all will be grateful to remember Dogmo as he wil be immortalized on the CD cover in this year's premium
I wish that strength harnessed in you in this sad painful moment in your life. Take whatever time you need to sort through this. I know we'll all be here when you come back.
Peace, friend.

Our thoughts are with you Tom.
-
Sorry, Tom.
-
From how you've described her, Dogmo must have been the best of the best.
I'm sorry for your loss, Tom.
-
From how you've described her, Dogmo must have been the best of the best.
I'm sorry for your loss, Tom.
To show my ignorance, I didn't even figure to check that Dogmo is a female. My apologies for that aspect of my previous post.
-
Funny, I was thinking of Tom and Dogmo just the other day. So sorry to hear this. Losing a beloved pet is as hard as losing any family member or friend. In some cases, harder.
Remember the good times and that you gave her a good life.
Our hearts are with you.
-
Sorry to hear about this, Tom. My thoughts are with you.
-
Sorry for your loss.
-
Oh Dogmo... Tom, and the ABBA box, and the FOTs, and all of those bowls of human flesh and Beneful will miss you greatly.
-
So sorry to hear about this. Dogmo lives on in the archives and in our hearts.
-
:-[ There was an episode of Trailerpark Boys that started with a black screen and some text. It said:
"There are some Angels that are born without wings. We call them 'friends'."
In my family, we call those Angels "dogs." Our hearts are with you and yours.
-
Oh Dogmo... Tom, and the ABBA box, and the FOTs, and all of those bowls of human flesh and Beneful will miss you greatly.
In heaven, Dogmo doesn't have to eat human flesh.
-
I'm sorry for your loss, Tom.
-
Tom, I was very sorry to hear this news. It's always been clear to your listeners how much you love Dogmo.
-
Wherever there's a dog being made to eat human flesh, instead of Beneful, Dogmo will be there.
-
Tom, I can't imagine the hurt. I've lost a couple companions before but there's almost no way to relate these experiences. I'm so sorry. Hang in there. You have some good memories to go on.
-
So sorry for your loss. Your passion for animals has been inspiring to me, and I imagine you're truly heartbroken. Take all the time you need, Tom. We love you.
-
Haven't posted much here so far but I'm a huge fan of the show.
So sorry for your loss Tom. It's hard to lose such a close companion.

Damn, that sucks :'(
Good luck with things and my thoughts are with you.
-
Tom, I'm very sorry for your loss.
-
so, so sorry for your loss tom.
-
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Tom. It's been a few years since I last had a pet die, and I dread having to go through those same feelings again. Dogmo seemed pretty awesome. Now to go through the archives, searching for Dogmo stories.
-
I would like to add my voice to the chorus of condolences, Tom. My thoughts have been with you and Dogmo this week.
-
I was horrified when I read the news. You and your family have been in my thoughts this week. Hope everyday is getting just a little bit easier.
-
I haven't been on the board much but when I was about two years ago it was when I talked about dealing with a cat that was dying of cancer. The cat was one of my best friends and the advice and kind words from folks on this board were incredibly helpful.
Tom, I hope you can find peace with the passing of Dogmo. The way you spoke of Dogmo on your show makes me believe that you gave her an amazing life and treated incredibly well. I hope you take some time to think of all of the good times that you were able to have with Dogmo.
-
Tom,
I know how much animals are a part of lives. Sorry to hear about your loss.
-
So sorry to hear about Dogmo.
We lost Bob on the day after Xmas ( more (http://www.boingboing.net/2008/12/29/will-sleep-for-food.html)). He was from Union County.
-
I'm soooooooo sorry Tom. Dogmo was the bestest dog ever.
-
Sorry for your loss Tom.
-
Tom -
So sorry to hear this. We all know how much Dogmo meant to you (thus to us, as well).
Stay strong!
-
My condolences, Tom.
-
