RIP Yoda Abraham Wu - 4/23/2002 to 4/17/2014
 

Yoda Abraham Wu
(April 23, 2002 to April 17, 2014)

Yoda's little body just couldn't handle his diabetes, cataracts, blindness, kidney and pancreas issues any more and he went off to Rainbow Bridge this morning (April 17, 2014). He was just six days shy of being twelve years old. He had a final last breakfast made by his Mommy and then he got his favorite Greenie treat after. Yoda went to Rainbow Bridge with a full and happy stomach. Eating was probably his favorite thing in the world besides cuddling with his parents.

Yoda will be joining his brother Winky and if you have any family members at Rainbow Bridge currently, please let them know about Yoda and welcome him.

Yoda taught us so much, about love, friendship, companionship and being a good person. He was our first buddy and we'll always cherish the time we got to spend with him, even though it was not nearly enough time.

For those of you that don't know, Yoda was the inspiration for YorkieTalk and the reason for its existence. Yoda's Mommy and I were new Yorkie parents and we just didn't know how to be a good Yorkie parent, so we founded YorkieTalk just over ten years ago. Yoda's face has been the YorkieTalk mascot since it was founded. We have made many friends, learned a lot, laughed a lot and cried some too. Yoda brought joy to everyone he met and he will always remain in our hearts and thoughts.

Yoda is a friendly little guy and he just wants his site to be a friendly little community for all Yorkie lovers. Yoda thanks you for being part of his community and wishes all his human skinfriends a happy, joyous fun life with their Yorkies.

After he became blind, his trademark green eyes become cloudy.

This is one of the favorite songs Yoda liked to listen to with us (or just a lot of it reminds us of him, even though the lyrics are about a girl)...

Good night, sweet dreams, and we'll always love you, our sweet Prince Yoda!

Love,

Your Family

PS. Winky missed his big brother greatly while at Rainbow Bridge the past two and a half years and is joyed to have his best buddy ever back in his life. :)

Here's a picture of Yoda with his favorite toy as a baby and one taken just this month.

To Yoda's Dad and Mom,

I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I am praying for your comfort. Yoda was obviously such a special boy and his legacy is this wonderful forum that he inspired.

Yoda, run free with your brother Winky at the Rainbow Bridge. You will always be in the hearts of the people here.

RIP Yoda
 

I'm so saddened to read this. My deepest sympathy to your family. I understand the pain and loss, I've been there myself and know how you feel. No words can comfort you now, but knowing Yoda had a wonderful life, was deeply loved and loved you must bring you comfort. It may be hard to believe right now, but some day you'll smile at his memories. My heart goes out to you. I wish I'd known Yoda...I'm new here but hope to hear more about your little guy. God bless.


Sallye & Halo

RIP little Yoda.

I am so very sorry for the passing of Yoda. I'm sure he is together with his brother Winky. RIP sweet boy :(

Oh no, I am so sad to hear this... I am so sorry. Just know that because of him, many yorkie lives have been saved. I am so very thankful for YorkieTalk and I know a lot of people that feel the same way.

RIP Yoda

I'm so sorry RIP Yoda

RIP Yoda. I'm so sorry FE. :(

What a heartbreaking loss :unlove: what a beautiful inspiration and development of community to come from that life :rbyorkie: my deepest sympathies go out to your family right now and my endebtted thanks as well for the opportunity to be here :aimeeyork

Such sad news. I'm so very sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you. RIP Little Yoda. You are greatly missed by many.

I am very sorry for your loss & Pray that your heart heals fast. Now off little Angel, it's time for you to be with Winky again. Mommy & Daddy will miss you both but for now, wait with Winky at the bridge.
R.I.P. Yoda.

This is such terrible news and I'm so very sorry for your loss of Yoda. What a wonderful life you gave him. I send sincere and heartfelt sympathy and love to you. I feel so bad for you. God bless the memory of your precious Yoda.

My heart breaks for you now that little Yoda has gone to the Rainbow Bridge, a trip he put off as long as he possibly could. But your little Prince is well again, and playing and running free now, satisfied with the wonderful, exciting trip he made through this world, together with his beloved mom and dad, and ready for his reunion with Winky and all our doggie angels already there and waiting for him. His YorkieTalk forum has and will continue to serve and benefit Yorkies and those that love them the whole world over and that's a towering achievement for anyone, let alone a tiny little terrier with big green eyes and a sweet, inquisitive little face, just wanting to be loved. I'm sure we'll all try our very best to continue to keep YorkieTalk a place Yoda will always be proud of - the single best place on the Internet for making friends and exchanging good information, advice and opinions on all things Yorkie. We'll never forget you, Yoda Abraham Wu.

Couldn't have said it better.

RIP sweet Yoda.

My heart goes out to you on the loss of your beloved Yoda.

Oh no, Yoda has been on my mind since I read about his illnesses yesterday. R.I.P. sweet boy, you will always be remembered on Yorkie Talk.

FE and Yoda's Mommy, I am so very sorry to hear of little Yoda's passing. I know your pain must be unbearable. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Beautifully said. . . . This site has bought me a lot of wonderful friends and of cause my beautiful Galen. His legacy lives on through them and the others after. And for that we are all thankful. I am so very sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Yoda. Hugs and puppy kisses

In memory of Yoda
 

I got to the gate of heaven yesterday after we said goodbye.
I began to miss you terribly, because I heard you cry.
Suddenly there was an angel and she asked me to enter heaven's gate.
I asked her if I could stay outside for someone who'd be late.

I wouldn't make much noise you see, I wouldn't bark or howl,
I'll only wait here patiently and play with my tennis ball.
The angel said I could stay right here and wait for you to come,
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven if I went in alone.

So I'll wait here, you take your time, but keep me in your heart.
Because heaven just wouldn't be heaven without you to warm my heart.

My heart goes out to you both at this sad time , Yoda was a much loved Yorkie who has left a legacy of this wonderful site and without knowing it has helped thousands of other Yorkies across the globe , either in their hour of need or just to share their precious moments with everyone in their Yorkie environment.
We Thankyou and Yoda for this, we feel your pain at his passing , we have shared the joy of his life and he will be sadly missed.

Please accept my deepest condolences at the loss of precious Yoda. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Thank you Yoda, for being the inspiration for the birth of Yorkie Talk. You will be missed, loved, and long remembered by all of us.

I am so very sorry and so sad to hear of Yoda's passing. I'm so thankful to Yoda and his skin parents for founding Yorkie Talk. Every time I log in, I see his little face at the top. Seeing his precious face will always be a reminder of how and why Yorkie Talk exists. Thank you, Yoda. A lot of good has come to others here at Yorkie Talk because your skin parents shared your life with us. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace. sweet angel Yoda Abraham Wu. :rbyorkie:

I'm so sorry. I've known YorkieTalk and Yoda's story for a long time, and it's what kept me here all these years. R.I.P., little man. Say hi to Jack and Rusty for me.

I am so heartbroken for your loss. Rest in peace Yoda you are having fun now being able to run and play at the rainbow bridge.

I am so truly sorry. Hugs to you and your family.

Rest In Peace and run free, Sweet Yoda!

I am so sorry to hear of lil Yoda's passing. Take comfort to know that your lil boy has been restored to his once beautiful healthy, pain free lil self, and sees the green fields and warm sunshine at rainbow bridge. He is running and playing with his brother winky so long missed. He will be waiting with winky at rainbow bridge to be reunited with mommy and daddy. He will be patient until your arrival. Take joy in knowing had it not been for Yoda, there would be no yorkie talk that has helped so many other precious little boys & girls live healthy lives, Yoda will live forever in the hearts of so many people, his memory will never fade. I will keep you and your family in my prayers to help you heal from this horrific loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Yoda's passing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It is so hard to lose a beloved furbaby.

RIP Yoda
