Jodi was forever young and wise. It feels hard to describe her because she had many sides, like anyone. We all have our moments and act differently in front of different situations. I'll try anyway: No matter how old she was she seemed young and lively. On the other hand she was wise and calm, always in her corner, always tolerant. Food was high on her priorities, sometimes it seemed like food and sleep were all she wanted but no. We were very important to her just like she was immensely important to us. She would howl to us if we had to leave without her, would get very excited when we returned. Sometimes she liked to act like she had no need for our company, a little like a cat in that way (sure I'll take your pets but don't think I need them). My favorite moments in my day were simply sitting on the couch and having her next to me while I did whatever I did. The feeling of having her next to me for hours made me feel safe. I had very unusual life circumstances and she is the one who was always there. Without doing anything she did everything. Without speaking she expressed the everything I needed. Her energy was always one of love and support for me. I'll miss her, I do. As a little girl I started telling her everything and I never stopped I verbalized it. It feels strange to not be able to it anymore. A couple of days ago I walked by a pet shop, I suddenly felt excited to go in and get something for little Jodi..... It didn't take me long to realize what had just happened and that that was not going to happen but I had a hard time accepting that I had made that mistake.. I guess your subconscious just tries to bring back the ones you love in hope of making it real. She was such a being of good. Only light radiated from her. When she came I was the little one in the family. I speak from my perspective but my whole family loved her very much she was a part of the family and it always hurts to loose someone who is a part of you. Jodi, I speak for us all when I say we miss you and hope you are in a good place where you get all your beauty sleep your little body enjoys and much much food, especially black olives, cheese, baby carrots, and bones.

Love, Your family
