Prayers and Healing for Cody

My mother has a dog, his name is Cody, and today Cody was diagnosed with cancer. Cody is not just a dog to us, he is a member of our family and we love him very much. Cody has a tumor on one of his kidneys and the cancer has spread to his liver. The prognosis is not good. We will not be treating him with chemotherapy. We are however looking into alternative treatment options.

We have had Cody and his littermate Cassidy since birth (pictures will be up some time on Christmas Eve). We also had the parents of Cody and Cassidy. Rocky, their father, was my dog and Nikki, their mother, was my fathers dog. Both Rocky and Nikki passed away within 6 months of each other about 3 years ago. We’re just not ready to lose Cody too.

There is a quiet knowing deep in my core that is telling me not to give up hope. Even though Cody is 11 years old and he’s already had a long and happy life, I just can’t shake the feeling that it’s not time yet. Maybe it’s my wishful thinking, maybe it’s a Divine message. I’m an intuitive, but I’m too attached to the outcome to get a clear message so I don’t know. I do know that this message feels very different from the me that keeps telling God you just can’t have Cody. He’s ours and we’re not ready to give him up yet.

I’m also a level two Reiki practitioner and on Saturday December 27th at 10am CST I am organizing a healing and prayer session for Cody, I will be giving him a Reiki session starting at that time. All that I ask of all you animal lovers out there is that you take a moment at that time to say a quick prayer for Cody. If you are a distance healer and feel that it would be appropriate to send him healing energy at that time as well I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is what I am personally praying for:

  • I pray that my family and I are able to make the right decisions for Cody on his behalf.
  • I pray that we find the best veterinary care available to Cody at this time
  • I pray that if healing is possible for Cody that my family and I are guided to the best possible way for Cody’s healing to occur.
  • I pray for Cody’s pack members (my family), that we are guided and supported during this difficult time.
  • I pray for all of those who are struggling with the illness or loss of a loved one.

If you choose to participate please leave a comment below, I know that my family would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you won’t be able to participate and would like to say a prayer or send healing energy to Cody now please mention it in the comments section. Also, if you know someone who you think would be interested in participating please send them the url to this page.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I will be giving status updates on the blog as Cody’s healing progresses.

Cody’s pack includes (pictures to come):

Jim Russell (my father)

Christine Russell (my mother)

Stephanie Russell (me)

Cassidy (Cody’s sister)

Zoe (my dog)

    We wish you all the peace and luck there is. We also have a dog named Cody and is going blind and is very upsetting. We know what your going through, Our previous dog “Houston” also had Cancer and we had to have him put down. It was like losing a child for us and I’m getting that painful felling again w/ Cody. I’m confident that Cody and Cody will be fine!!!
