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
Your religious beliefs don't make a bit of difference. The only thing that matters is that you love Yoda with all your heart and soul and now you can't see her or hear her or hold her - an THAT HURTS!!!!!! And you, you already went through this agony at least once - and your heart is big enough, good enough and brave enough to voluntarily sign up to go through it again. Yes, Yoda is a special being. (I've got some eclectic spiritual beliefs). I think that animals and people are made of the same soul-stuff. And that once in a while, an animal and a person share a single soul - you carry (and always have) part of Yoda's soul and she carries a part of yours. You have been one since the beginning of the beginning. Then Yoda, brave Yoda, set out to find her soul-mate (literally). She looked for you all over the universe - gave the billions of people in this world each a look (and she didn't need physical eyes to do this!) - and said, No I don't think this is the one - over and over and over again ... until she found YOU! The instant rush of love confirmed for both of you that this was truy your "other half". Few of us have had the honor and privilege of having shared a physical life with our universal soul-mate. ( I discovered this with my Gretta - especially after he passing - don't we always learn these things too late!). The bad thing is that whwen they go back home to the Perfect World, they take a part of our soul with them. The good thing is that love is forever and that our souls WILL once again be reunited and whole again. I'm 60+ and I, too, cry every day (Gretta's first birthday in the Perfect World was April 10, 2012). I can't face her plaster paw print that the vet school so kindly had made. Every time I post here - cry! Every time I write another vers of a Gretta-song - cry! But I know they are good tears, even though they hurt so much. Tears that come from love. We grieve in proportion as we love - and who do we love more than ourselves - which these spirit animals are. It's not Shane and Yoda, its ShaneYoda. Rest assured that you WILL be reunited and made whole again - even though no one know how or when. Thank you for sharing Yoda's story and her exquisite pictures. What a light to the world she IS (not was). The little glimpses and shadows you see of her are messages from her letting you know she's still around you and is OK - Perfect, in fact. Part of my coming to believe all this are the words of my vet - the ultimate man of science - when he found out that Gretta had gone home: "She's in a safe place now." If HE belives it, so do I. Be gentle with yourself, Shane. So a 35-year-old man cries? All that means is that you have a beautiful heart and a great soulmate in Yoda. For now .... Gretta's mom |

I feel like I know you. Your words have always helped, I HOPE I am wrong and I can reunite with yoda and the others I have lost, after this painful life, I HOPE I am wrong. Again, thank you so much for everythig. I too cannot handle that ceramic paw impression or look at his ashes yet. I was at a concert last night, tryin to have fun, and u know what? HONEST, in the middle of the song they were doing (its a rock band, so it was not a soft sad song) my mind went right to yoda and I started cryin AT A CONCERT, man I felt rediculous. Again, thank you and I HOPE I AM WRONG! |
