I have been following Yoda's journey and seeing the subject of your post today made my heart sink. I am crying like a baby. I am soooo sorry to hear about Yoda. I hope you find peace knowing that Yoda had such a great life with you and was loved a lot. You are in my thoughts and prayers today.

Yoda's Mom,
I just read your post now... I somehow missed it yesterday. I am so sorry to hear that Yoda is gone.
My heart aches for you and your family... I have been following Yoda's story ever since I joined Tripawds. I've enjoyed all Yoda's stories, his bunny chasing (whenever I see a bunny now, it will make me think of Yoda).
I'm so glad your dad was with you when you said your final good-bye to Yoda. I know it's not easy, and you must feel such an emptiness and sadness in your heart right now. But I hope that you know that you gave Yoda several more months of quality life after his diagnosis... He had so many happy times up until the end, especially with getting that bunny wabbit last week!! I love the pictures you posted of him... He was beautiful!!!
You are in my thoughts and prayers dear... Yoda is running free in heaven now, with Jerry and Mac and all the other beautiful doggie heros that have gone before him...

Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Even though I only know you through this forum, I’ll think of Yoda every time I see a rabbit in the neighborhood. Looking at his pictures, I know he had a lot of character and you guys had many good times together.
Strength, Peace and best wishes from Polo and Mike.

Dear Yoda's Mom, I am very sorry that you had to let Yoda go. On the brighter side, it was God's calling him. He has returned to where he belongs, where there is no more pain, where there is only laughter, playing time, and friends.
Thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.
HUGS.
Dear Yodasmom: We're devastated to see your news.
We knew Yoda had been very sick a couple weeks ago, but he seemed to bounce back---bunny catching and all. We love all your Yoda stories and the pictures. We can tell he's a love
and so much spirit! We're so glad you and Yoda were able to
enjoy your time together right up until the last days.
Your devotion and love for Yoda is so clear to us---and we can see in those pictures he loved you right back. We're sure he's watching over you right now.
Love to you,Eve and Romeo
I'm so sorry you had to say "good-bye for now" to your darling Yoda… You definitely made the right choice and I'm so glad you had such a great team of people supporting you and helping him.
You gave him four months of feeling great and that's to be celebrated! That's all we had with Abbey as a tripawd too and I never regretted it. We gave them great quality of life for their last chapter.
Know that we are all here for you. Nobody else understands the way we do because we've gone through similar heartache. Yoda is still very much alive, just in spirit now. I pray God's peace cover you like a blanket as you grieve your beautiful boy.

I am very sorry for your loss of Yoda. He had a very unique face (very cute!) that I'm sure was very expressive. You did so much for him and I am so glad that you had 4 good months without pain. This type of cancer can be so aggressive that it doesn't seem fair sometimes.
We'll be thinking of you both tonight,
Pam and Tazzie
I too am writing through tears. What a hero your Yoda was, and how perfect the timing. That doesn't make it any easier when you're the one to continue on without your friend, but at least you know it was the right time. You gave him the good months and spared him the painful ones.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're in my prayers tonight.

Thank you for sharing Yoda with us. His adventures and his energy were an inspawration to many newlies like us.
Your farewell to Yoda seemed peaceful... I hope the coming days won't be swamped with sadness but more with nostalgia for the good and happy days.
Cancer is awful and unfair.
We'll be thinking of you.
Hugs

Yoda's Mom,
Thank you for sharing your story. We have to make some difficult decisions for our Chipper this Tuesday when we meet with our oncologist. My prayer is that God guides us to be as compassionate and loving dog parents as you all have been....from day one to the very end. Your story is so touching and inspiring....Yoda was so blessed to have such support and care. And now he is looking at your from doggy heaven with a full and happy heart! You are in my thoughts...
I've been out of touch for a couple of days and am devistated to read this post. Yoda was a fighter. He gave it his best shot, and we all loved and supported him in his effort.
I so hope you find peace in the precious memories you carry. We will miss your sweet boy.
RIP Yoda, run free at Rainbow Bridge.

As with all the responses above, we want to express our deepest sympathy on loosing Yoda, the brave cancer and rabbit fighter. Many of us speak from experience that making the choice of letting go is never easy but it is definately the brave, loving, and honest thing that we must do when the time comes. They give so very much to us, we need to know when to let the go and to let them go with the diginity and loving environment that they deserve.
Like all those above, I am attempt to type through the tears but I would like to remind you that (I paraphrase from my page dedicated to all of us who share these special relationships) you will never really be without Yoda, for the gifts that Yoda has given you will live with you forever. Yoda was a very brave hero who tought many of us how to fight for the quality of life they deserve.
Yoda and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers,
Bob & Cherry
I am so sorry to hear about Yoda. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. It is never easy saying goodbye, but it does get better. Soon those memories will take over and the tears turn to smiles as you remember Yoda.

Yodasmom, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Yoda had the best you could give and deserved every bit of it. Thank you so much for sharing his story with all of us. Truly one that should always be remembered.
Wish we could have posted to you sooner, but we were locked out for a week for some strange reason.
hugs,
