In Memoriam...Jodi Kleiman 199?-2007



Today about 2:30pm Bruce's dog Jodi passed away. We are going to miss her generous and loving nature. She brought much joy to our lives and we will greatly miss her companionship. She came into Bruce's life ten years ago from a Breeder of Australian Terriers. She'd been a breeding and show dog before, but as a companion she had perhaps the best years of life. Bruce took her everywhere with him and cared for her as he would a child. In the few years I knew her, she crawled into my lap and my heart and never let go until it was time. Then she sweetly left, knowing that even in the spring when all the world is coming alive from winter's frost, it is still a good time to let go of the past. I think I'll go cry by her grave now.

Ooooooooooooooooooh! I am so, so sorry to hear that. I have fond memories of the day spent at you & Bruce's once upon a Vashon Wormwood event...spending time on your sunny porch together with the gorgeous old cat and sweet little Jodi.


Best wishes to both of you, and a little prayer for Jodi XXX

Thank you. Jodi was a good dog and Vanna was a very sweet cat. They are both well remembered.

How are you and Bruce doing?

I bet the house feels empty, but I hope you are both feeling okay.

We are both well. It is taking some adjustment not having Jodi around but I use the time to think of the happy moments in our lives whenever her absence comes to my attention. Albert our newer cat has developed some nuerotic behavior since Jodi left; but even he is enjoying more of our attention so I think that despite his missing her too, he will be fine.

Thank you. She was ready to go. Her organs were enlarged making it difficult for her to breath. We will miss her but I believe she is in a better place.

Please send my regards to Bruce. It is hard to lose a companion, four legged or otherwise. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

Thank you. I have passed on your regards. It has been a difficult time as she was getting very decrepit toward the end. But she has moved on and so must we all. Again, thank you.

I'm glad to hear that. I know when I've had pet's it's been hard to accept the letting go. But I know she was happy to be so well loved by you both. She was very luck.
