Kami (Mackenzie's mom)

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

We just learned today that Darcy has earned her wings.

On Sunday, January 29, 2012, four years after her diagnosis, her beautiful heart gave out. She was almost ten years old.

Run free Darcy, we love you.

What an inspiration and a survivor. Unfortunately not many here can say they beat cancer, but Darcy did!

Sending strong, healing thoughts to Darcy's pack in the UK. May your happy memories of almost 10 years together make this next part of the journey just a bit easier.

Oh, that is sad. But, man, she has got to be pretty amazingly beautiful with her wings.

Jackie, Angel Abby & MBBunnyRita's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
