And the time has come...



The time has come to say goodbye to Yoda. I can't make him live like this anymore for the sole purpose of keeping Louis and myself happy. This dog has been one of the best and funniest companions I've ever met. If you've never been French kissed by a Boston Terrier, then you have not lived my dear friends. My sister in law went with me and was there until the bitter end. For that I am eternally grateful. Also, Yoda's vet, Dr. Manolukas is truly a man that found his calling.
Yoda, you will be missed by all that have met you.

Nadja and Lou - we are so sorry. Yoda was a phenomenal guy. If ever he were anything, Yoda was a lady's man.

I know that words mean nothing right now.

With so much love and a big hug,

K.

I smile thinking if him being able to run, jump and play! where he is now, there is no pain. So here's to Yoda getting as many birds and bunnys his heart desires!!

Love you little buddy.

I am so sorry, this is never an easy situation for everyone. The fact that you have made this decision shows that you and L. are already moving in the right direction towards peace. Yoda sounds like a wonderful pooch and I'm sure that he'll stand the test of time in your memories. My thoughts and wishes are with your family.
