Just in case anyone missed this great update on her blog - it's Mackenzie's 1 year!  Mackenzie's mommy did this incredible and heartwarming video!

Happy ampuversary sweet and beautiful Mackenzie!

Her Retired AvatarComet - 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.

Happy 1 Year, beautiful girl!  What an awesome milestone.  I think a month long celebration is a great idea.  I can only wish for you to have one more year, and another, and another.

Thank you everyone for all of your very kind words and support!! It means so much to us! This has been a very emotional time because of what we've been through in this past year and how far we've come.   I have to pinch myself sometimes to remind myself that this isn't a dream - Mackenzie's really here with me and I am forever grateful.  And I am also forever grateful to this wonderful community who has helped me through so much of this difficult journey.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

And a very special thanks to Cool Cat Comet and her mom - what would we do without you??? kisskisskiss

xoxo

Kami, Mackenzie and Kobe  

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!

Rock on, Mackenzie!!  Great video. 

Need some tips on how to keep workin' the 3-legged angle  ... people are starting not to notice I'm a tripawd now that I'm zooming around and my fur is growing back - how'd you do it?

Lots of love
