I had to let my little yoda go today 17yrs old. 5th dog I've had to put down in my life. I spent half of my life with him, none have hurt this much. He JUST had a check up and blood work done 5 days earlier. Heart strong, kidneys, liver working "great" then outta no where he had a stroke. He was always there for me. Through all my personal problems in life. Kills me to know I'll never rub that SHIH TZU pot belly or hug him again. He was Blind from birth and depended so much on us, I think thats why this hurts SO MUCH MORE than my other pets. My soul is fractured, at the moment I dont know if I can get over this. My Birthday was monday, the day of the stroke. Now i'm cursed with a birthday that I lost my most loved buddy. I hope I succeded in adding his picture. I love you yoda PLEASE R.I.P

Oh Shane
My heart is crying for you in the passing of your wonderful Yoda. It's the worst pain we'll ever have to face this side of eternity - as Moonbeam says. What an extraordinary life you two must have shared - loving each other even though sharing neither language nor sight. You ARE his soul! Soon you will get a post from Mother Moonbeam which will say all that's in my heart for you only much better. The important thing is the Yoda LIVES! Yes, he's right there beside you where he always was when you could see him. It's just that now he's in spirit form and you can't do all the things humans to to interact with other beings: touch, hold, pet, tummy-rub. But that does not mean Yoda is gone. He lives, in the words of my great vet, "in a safe place now." He's on his job as your "other half" - guiding your steps showering you with love and being showered with your love. I know it seems like you will never live through this. At first it feels like constantly being shot through the heart. When you say that you have never felt this kind of pain with other fur-babies, it tells me that you and Yoda were a special pair. Some American Indians call these animals white buffalo. Ther hold a piece of our souls and we a piece of theirs. That's why their going back home to the perfect World is SO, SO painful. It's like a piece of ourselves has been torn away - and it has. Part of our soul has gone with them - and they've left part of their with us. Someday we WILL be together again - no more pain, no more loneliness, just eternal basking in each other's love. It's my Gretta's first anniversary in heaven today. Yoda arrived just in time for her birthday party. Shane, the pain never does actually stop. It just reaches a point where it is a constant presence in your life - making tears flow ever so easily. Shane can see you know and I know she's up there telling everybody what a great dad you ARE (not WERE). Shed tears, wrap yourself in things of Yoda's, do whatever it takes to get from one moment to the next. And know the we, your Lightning Strike family are right beside you every step of the way. Please get some rest tonight, friend. Gretta's mom |

Please get some rest tonight, friend. Gretta's mom Thank you so much for your incredible words. As I write the tears are flowing hard and heavy...both for yoda and you sweet words. Never having met you, they were the perfect words to consol. Though nothing works, when we loose one of our friends MOST of us are not new to it. I know I'm not, but this pain is so intense, I know I've said it, ands others..."I'll never get another one" but we love them so much, most of us still do. It took me 8 months to get a new puppy after I lost a 15 yr old Rottie. I AM SO SORRY FOR GRETTAS ABSENCE, her loss makes my heart hurt for you too. It is nice to think yoda has joined the party, where he can finally SEE. Again, thank you for such kind words, thank you. One last pic cause SO hard to look at. Him in his younger days. Couldnt see out of that eye. God I miss him so much. Even though we have a Rott and 2 cats, the house feels empty. ![]() |
