Episode From a Missing Service Dog to Fighting Crime: A Mom Life Update
October 6th, 2026: A missing service dog, an emotional roller coaster, and an unexpected lesson in speaking up and doing the right thing... this solo episode of The Mom Room covers a LOT.
Renee shares what happened when her sister’s service dog, Van, went missing in North Bay, Ontario, and how she helped from hours away. From targeted Instagram ads and local news outreach to missing dog posters and community groups, she breaks down the ways she rallied support, and why the tears really started AFTER Van was found safe.
Then, a scary encounter with a reckless driver while Milo was in the car leads to a call to the police and a conversation about doing the right thing. How do we teach our kids to speak up when someone is putting others in danger or being bullied? Sometimes, those parenting conversations happen when we least expect them.
Plus: Renee reveals her Disney Halloween costume, reminisces about her favourite sitcoms, and gets distracted by Backstreet Boys tickets. Just a regular day in The Mom Room.
