QuoteIt was one year ago today that I lost my sweet Mackenzie, my 8 1/2 year old golden retriever, to osteosarcoma. She was my world and my heart is still broken. I wanted to give a special thanks to Jim and Rene, and of course, Jerry, for being such an inspiration to this community and for creating such a wonderful support group to everyone here with Tripawds. Although I'm not on here as much as I'd like to be, I am forever thankful and grateful for the wonderful show of support and friendships that I've made over time. I'm not sure what I would have done without all of you and your kind words, understanding and love. One thing is for sure, we all have a special love for our pets and all understand and know how important they are to each and every one of us. It's so nice to be among a crowd that truly understands that depth of love.
So thank you Jim, Rene and Jerry for making this such a special place to be.
Kami & Angel Mackenzie
P.S. Here's a favorite video I made of Mackenzie doing her favorite thing – swimming. We love you and miss you Mackenzie!!

Every time I see MacKenzie hanging out or swimming, I get this huge grin on my face. There's just something about a blond and a swimming pool.
What a wonderful and beautiful girl. Thank you for sharing her with all of us.

Kami, it's so hard to believe an entire year has passed since your beautiful girl left us. And I know it's even harder to be her Momma and mark that passing of time. That first year anniversary (or "heavenaversary" as our friend Genie once called it), seems to catch us by surprise and knock us off our feet, even though we know one day it will happen. Our hearts go out to you tonight.
Your compliments are so sweet, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts…but honestly it's the collective community here that brings so much meaning and depth to Tripawds. There is not a day that goes by when we aren't blown away by how much people care about eachother's packs here. It definitely has something to do with the deep bond everyone shares with the animal kingdom….not everyone in this world gets it, but we can always strive for a better world for this planet's animals, starting with how we offer support and help to one another here at Tripawds.
Don't feel badly about not being here so much. Life does go on and we understand that…but the friendships we create amongst eachother, and the brave spirits of our Tripawd Warriors, will always stay strong in our hearts and memories.
Many, many hugs coming your way. Thank you for making us smile with beautiful Mackenzie's best video EVER! xoxo

OfflineOh, I know what it is like leading up to the year anniversary, and then the two-year one. The memories come back so vividly – the good ones of the time they enjoyed life, and the sad ones when losing them. How great that you had that pool for Mackenzie to enjoy herself and what a happy swimmer she was.
Take care,
Susan

What a beautiful girl! She looks like she was so happy. What a great life she had with you.
And you are so right – Tripawds is an amazing place. I say it often to the "newbies" but I mean it 100% – I don't think you will find a more supportive group of people on the 'Net!
Thanks for sharing the video of your beautiful California girl with us.

OnlineIt's a sad day because we miss Mackenzie so much. But, oh my gosh! We made some wonderful memories! And seeing her in that video again brings smiles from ear to ear!
We love you Mackenzie! Thank you for making 2010 a wonderful year for those that met you for the first time that year!
P.S.
MB Rocket says he wishes he was with you, Kami to make you smile today. (he very smitten now) He'd even give you one of his "monkey" toys he got from you for Christmas! But I had to remind him that re-gifting doesn't work if it's re-gifted to the one that gave you the gift! 
Comet - 1999 to 2011She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
She is as pretty as can be!
How blessed they are in heaven to have her for a furry angel!
I bet they spoil her!
Sending heart healing wishes until you meet again!

OfflineOh Kami I remember the day so sadly. It was not long after I lost Tai and it brought the pain all the way back to the surface again. I feel the same, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Tai and that often brings me to thinking of beautiful Mackenzie. How lucky we were to share our lives with such loving amazing dogs. Tripawds really are a special group – both the dogs and their 2 legged companions. I shall raise a glass at New Years in a special toast to Mackenzie the beautiful!

OfflineKami -
We still think of Miss Mack often and especially of her swimming videos. We loved watching her what a golden is supposed to do in water!! We hope the hurt in your heart is filled up by sweet and special memories of your sweet and special golden girl.
Ginger and pawrents
Hey Kami, hopefully time has let some of the memories bring a sense of enjoyment and comfort in knowing you did all you could for her, and giving her a great life at the same time. Big Paws up for Mackenzie, Spirit Gus and Dan

Kami,
I, too, can hardly believe it's been a year already since Mackenzie's passing. That video brings back lots of great memories of your girl. Thanks for the smile tonight(and holding back a tear or two).
