[Image Can Not Be Found]For having a good cry, Love Remains the Same was on my personal playlist, for lines like "Half the time the world is ending" and "I never thought that I had anymore to give."  Those really encapsulated for me how emotionally hard the hard times were with Yoda's osteosarcoma – getting the initial diagnosis, the appearance of the lung mets, the lung mets bursting and when Yoda finally did start to show the signs that he was struggling.  (It also happened to be on the radio ALL the time in Yoda's last couple weeks and after).  But not enough in it was uplifting enough for a tribute – that songs for letting out all the bad stuff only, in my opinion.  Rossdale has another one called "Forever May You Run" that struck a chord too – totally a dog song, whether he realized it or not.

[Image Can Not Be Found]A song that's still a little sad, but has FIGHT in it, that I liked 3 Doors Down's "It's Not My Time" and made a tribute video for Yoda with that, but the sound and video quality, unfortunately, so it's probably better to listen to it elsewhere, if you want to hear the song.  Still, this is the link to the Yoda video:

Here's a mellower good-bye to Yoda tribute below –  "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.  I take it to be a song about being more in the present with your loved one(s), which is the same as "being more dog," right?

 

 

Oh there were a lot more on my playlist, what were they… Mr. Bojangles – "The dog up and died, he up and died.  And after 20 years he still grieves."  Geez… didn't I pick any happy ones?  I'm such a downer, oh yeah, everybody loves "The Puppy Song," right, Cometdog?  And thus Gerry gets to push his way into this post too (does Gerry has a drop of monkeydog blood in him perhaps?):
