Awww Isabelle, you are such a hero to all of us here! Congratulations my dear, I can't believe it's been a year already. More lamby for you tonight and cheese and ice cream for all of us 🙂
Cynthia, thanks for all of your feedback, tips and advice here. Your knowledge is indispensable.

My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
Cynthia - what a beautiful video. Of course it brought tears to my eyes - for many reasons. Isabelle looks so happy and content - it's so awesome to see. She's just amazing and I can only imagine how proud you must be. I know how much you love her and I know that this must bring so much happiness to you knowing that you've reached this huge milestone. I'm truly honored to be able to celebrate with you and Isabelle. You've been a great support and friend to everyone here. It's now your turn to basque in this wonderful occasion! 
Sending lots of golden hugs to you and Isabelle,
Kami, Angel Mackenzie, Kobe and Scarlett
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!
Thank you all for sharing our special milestone and your kind words. You are all such special people whose your friendship and presence are deeply appreciated.
Daisy…Happy Ampuversary to you too!
Ken & Faith…..Thank you for being here….we enjoyed sharing this week with Cooper and remember him with tears and smiles today.
Shari….the little black Monkeycat actually has 2 clones….although one is officially a Tripawd…he's a Monkeycat anyway!
Ge'lena…I have nothing left to say…I am still laughing…….Thank You for everything!
To all (I don't want to leave anyone out!) who were so concerned and supportive last week…thank you from the bottom of my heart…I can't express what it meant to know you were there. Karen, your wise advice is invaluable.
With much gratitude,
Cynthia & Isabelle
PS: MBVP FREAKY EARS: SMOOCHES TO YOU….and don't lose my locket!

evelyn
Beauty this good takes a lot of sleep.
Evelyn,
YOU HAVE NO IDEA…..I fell off the deck….it was her fault no matter what my mom or Ickybelle say….I was s'posed to have a root canal last Tuesday…..did I have it? NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Ickybelle had to make a big drama and go to a fancy hotel and make everyone cry….AND USE UP ALL MY MONEY!!!!!!!
….and now she's laughing at me, getting more attention than ever….is the bus stop far?? I promise to pay you back!
Denali
Miss Isabelle,
We didn't want to interrupt your touching and special video but Comet and Cooper wanted you to have one from us too. We got so scared last week when we thought you were really sick and wanted to put some memories to a video.
It's such a great celebration of 1 year that we figured 2 days after-the-fact is still good!
So Happy Belated 1 Year Ampuversary!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She 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.
Thank You so much Angel Comet (& Comet's wonderful mom) and Angel Cooper for the BEAUTIFUL video of me! We loved it!
I'm sorry for making everyone worry last week, but you see…I had to. Denali was going to get rewarded for falling off the deck and have lots of money spent on him and get special attention….I couldn't have him stealing my thunder!
I miss you both and am really happy you celebrated with me!
Love Always,
Isabelle
PS: My mom is happy your video isn't a violation and can be played on all the devices that are permanently attached to her….
