Yay Mackenzie!!! Wonderful news about stable conditions!! Chloe and I hope to meet you when the admins take spokespup Wyatt Ray on the west coast tour! I will be around for the so cal visit during Dec because my parents live in the LA area! Just 40 miles from you!!
Anyway I made a suggestion to the admins about where we can possibly have this tripawd pawty. There is an RV park along the beach in El Segundo which allows pets (maybe BBQ?) and a dog park about a mi away (better to drive to it) where all the tripawds can run free! If you want to read the post I made in their travel forum check it out here!
The admins said they will be in that area between Christmas/New Years, so we hope you guys will be around!

P.S. For all the tripawds that come to the So Cal LA pawty, I am baking grain free peanut butter cookies (see blog for pictures)!
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Hey Chloe's Mom,
That would be great to meet up with you for our So Cal pawty. That sounds like a great place too- I know the area very well. Where do your parents live? I will definitely be in the area during this time. If that isn't convenient there are some other places we could meet too. So let's definitely talk. Will PM you.
P.S. Mackenzie and Kobe are already salivating for the grain-free peanut butter cookies.
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!
What fantastic news!!! I opened up the forum this morning (way too early) and the first thing I see is your post. I want to jump up and down but don't want to wake anyone up. . . .jumping up and down on the inside!!!
Love the rainbows, too.
Big hugs to Mackenzie!
Dx Osteosarcoma 3/31/10. Amputation 7/21/10. Honey put up a valiant fight and lost her battle 9/22/10. Missing her and treasuring 9 years with our Honeygurl.

Oooooh what a WONDERFUL way to start our day! Yeaaaaay Mackenzie!!
It's always our hope that when a Tripawd gets lung mets that they'll continue to beat the odds. Mackenzie, you are giving so much hope to so many, what a total rock star you are!!!
Kami, can I send you a Q&A to answer about Mackenzie's protocol? We would love to be able to point future Tripawds to one place where it's discussed and I'd love to put it in the Tripawds News blog . What do you think?

Hi Jerry,
Of course - I would be very happy to fill out a Q&A on her protocol.
Hey that talking frog...I don't remember him so I guess I'm not as old as i think! (My birthday is coming up 
)
And thanks everybody for all of your wonderful comments and support. It means so much to us and I feel so fortunate to be a part of this wonderful and supportive community.

YAY Kami and Mackenzie!!!! That is the best news ever. We are doing hoppy dances all over the place. YAY YAY YAY!!!! Keep fighting the good fight.
Laura and Tai
Tai – 9 yr old lab. Diagnosed Osteosarcoma Dec 18/09. Front right leg amputated Dec 21/09. Started chemo Jan 7/10. Lung mets discovered Sept 16/10. Valiant to the end on Oct 26/10 when cancer reappeared in a leg and we made the decision to set her free. Forever in my heart where not even cancer can take her from me.
