Frost died. There is a link to a tweet from Jim on FB.

Cool Sad News

Sad News

We set up this news post to announce that another chapter of The Aeronaut’s Windlass had gone live on Jim’s site, but something much more important has happened that demands this week’s spotlight. We are heartbroken to announce that Jim’s faithful and beloved dog, Frost, passed away today after a long battle with cancer.



Frost, short for “Frostbite Doomreaver McBane Butcher,” had a heroic streak worthy of a dog many times his size. Jim has often claimed Mouse is based on “what Frost thinks he is,” and this doggy assessment is totally justified. You may have heard Jim recount the tale of how Frost defended Jim’s son from a bear, or how he fought off a coyote. We hope the afterlife has sufficient bacon.

We encourage folks to make donations to Missouri Pitbull Rescue in Frost’s honor.

It sure does! We had to go through something very similar several years ago. Our dog Sam(antha) was 17 years old and had also been battling cancer for some time. She was laying on her side napping in our living room and passed away with a really mournful final howl. Writing this just brought tears to my eyes.

I'm so sorry to hear that alan (she looked beautiful btw). I was heartbroken when my previous cat passed away. Sometimes our pets mean so much to us they are almost like a family member and it just hurts when they passed on, especially when it's due to a sickness because I don't know how else to make her/him feel better. I'm glad Jim was at Frost's side at the time of his passing and got to say goodbye, because I never did. My condolences to Jim still and I hope Frost is happy in doggy heaven!
