Well everyone....we are one month away from our one year ampuversary...I honestly can't believe Jack has made it this far. He constantly amazes me. He is doing great and snoring under my feet as I type. I am really proud of him and he is really hanging in there. I hope this finds everyone well. Our next appt is in a week and a half...fingers are crossed for good news!!!!
Shout out to my boy Jack!!!!!!

It's amazing when you look back at all that you have gone through and then to know that you've made it this far is truly truly wonderful!

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!
Happy 11 month ampuversary Jack!!!
That is awesome!!! Hope you had a special celebration with lots of yummy treats! Can't wait to hear about your 1 year ampuversary!!!

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Erin and Jack, this is wonderful news, thank you for reminding us that we have another reason to celebrate!
It's hard to believe it's been nearly an entire year from the first time you told us about him. And alll of your updates just remind us that those ugly prognosis that we get when we hear the C word, well, they're not always right. Sometimes they get chucked out the window to make way for our pawesome lives!
Thank you for coming here to celebrate alongside this community, Jack's story really gives all of us so much hope.
Pawty on ddde, no better weekend to have an ampuversary!
