Kami; 

You and Mackenzie - and Kobe - were there for Sophie and I from day one - and I will always be grateful to you for your unwavering support. I hope you know that all the love and good wishes you put out there for me - and for all of us - is now coming back at you ten-fold. These are the days we all dread, think that we will never live through, and our hearts change for ever more. Life becomes clearer as your perspective changes and you focus on the bond between you - between you and Mackenzie. You are both blessed to have such a loving home within each other's hearts. 

Our dogs teach us so much about life and about ourselves as we develop our relationship  - and never so much as in their final days. That is when we realize just how much "dog-like" we can be - and how strong we can be for our amazing animals. Jerry said it - they don't count down the days - they just live them. And Mackenzie has lived her time well - reveling in her swimming prowess and basking in her golden California girl beach babe good looks ! What an awesome spirit she has. Apparently she still has some things to do, so put yourself in her paws and make her next days some of the most memorable. 

I hope you feel the love and support coming your way, Kami. For you and for Mackenzie. I'm so very sorry that you two are nearing the end of this journey together.

May peace and strength be yours.

Love, Tana and Spirit Sophie 

So, so wonderful the two of you had a great day.  Truly living life one day at a time is a really tough lesson for us humans to learn.  Sounds like you're definitely getting the hang of it.

More good thoughts for you both!

Kami - the tears are flowing as I'm reading these posts.  I'm just so sad to read this news - Mackenzie has always been one of our heros - you've always had such good advice for Holly since Holly was pretty much doing the same treatments as Mackenzie -  just following in those wonderful footsteps.  She was the light at the end of our tunnel as we were nearing the end of chemo.  I'm so glad she had a good day yesterday - we'll hope for some wonderful days for both of you to create some extra special memories. We will keep you and Mackenzie in our hearts and prayers.  I wish there was something else we could do...  Please just know we're here for you.

Sending huge hugs and lots of Holly kisses from IL,

Holly, Zuzu and Susan

As you well know, this community feels the loss and setback of each and every one of its sweet angels.  But this news touches my heart in a place that I thought was reserved for only my Honey.  Maybe because your precious Mackenzie is a beloved golden, like my beloved golden, Honey, it breaks my heart at a depth unexpected.  I have always so enjoyed reading of Mackenzie’s journey and watching her adorable videos that you post on her blog.

We too, brought our Honey home from the vet after some devastating and unexpected news to love for whatever short time we had left with her.  And love her we did; too short for sure, but with joy and love, abundant.

We know your journey, adore your sweet Mackenzie and wish you the sweetest and happiest of times right now.  She is so clearly a gift to your family.  And you have blessed her with the loving home she deserves, allowing her the opportunity to be the blessing that she is.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please give your precious girl a big smooch for us.

Hugs,
