Coda UPDATE

**Coda'sMommy** · 03-13-2009, 03:43 PM

I'm crying like an idiot! But my mother just called, Coda is now OFFICIALLY on his way! She said Ron (the guy driving him up) seemed like a very nice guy who was ok with all instructions given to him about the care of his precious cargo! I'm so excited!!!!! Now to get through the anxiety of the next 2 days!! I will not have any kind of email or even phone contact with him during travel which is really stressful for me! Now is the time for extra powerful prayers to start going out for Coda. I've been lighting candles for him and for others since I found the link for the candles. Thank you cassiesmom for lighting one for Coda the other day, I seen it, just hadn't gotten around to thanking you yet. Thank you all for your support and suggestions!!

The light of God surrounds Coda,
The love of God enfolds him,
The power of God protects him,
The wisdom of God guides and directs Coda's driver,
Wherever Coda and his driver go, God is;
And all is well.
And so it is.

Coda is such a handsome boy.

I have been following his story but haven't had time to post until now.
I hope that his travels go well, I'm sure the waiting will drive you crazy until he is back in your arms again.
I'm sure he will be happy to see you again.
Heidi is a pretty kitty, does she have blue eyes and a stubby tail?
Is she a Siamese mix?
Try not to rush Coda's introduction to Heidi.
He will probably be stressed out from the long ride and the new place, he will need time with you to relax.
I will be thinking of you and Coda during his trip, I look forward to seeing photos of you two together again.

Heidi is a Lynx Point Manx. She has beautiful blue eyes and what is called a "Riser", just the tiniest stub of a tail. My faincee got her from the Saskatoon Animal Shelter about 1 yr ago. She is a handful and loves to play with me! And has slept with me pretty much since I moved here. Bad thing about this is.....she sleeps in the same spot Coda has always slept!! She starts out on my chest with her nose against my chin, when I roll to my side, she ends up in in my arms at my left side. Coda always slept in my arms at my left side! A spot I'm sure he will want back!! It will take some time I'm sure, but I'm hoping for them to be best friends. I'm hoping he will become her favorite chew toy (playfully mind you) and give my wrist a break. She never hurts me but she LOVES to chew on me. She also loves to sneak attack me when I walk through the apartment.

I am sending good thoughts to both you and Coda. Everything will be fine, I just know it!

So far no news. I was hoping they would call and say they had made it safely to Ron's home in Oxbow (it's 10:30 pm). According to the map, it is supposed to be 16 hours and 20 minutes of driving time. They left at 3:30 our time yesterday. I leave the house at 7:30 am to go to Oxbow. I'm hoping they are already at Ron's home when we get there. I won't be back home with him until 8:30 pm at the earliest if they aren't late. Thank you all for the candles that were lit for his safe journey!!

Off the topic of Coda for a second, I really think Heidi KNOWS something is up! She's never been "cuddly" except at bed time. But all day yesterday she was cuddling with me! Even when her daddy came home from work (WAY unusual)! She usually meets him at the door and insists he pets her and gives her treats to her as soon as he sits down. But yesterday, she looked up at him, and snuggled back up to me. She left my lap long enough to eat her treats when her daddy got them out, but was right back on me. She was still cuddly today, not as much as yesterday though. Maybe she was just reacting to my tension.
