This video was the perfect way to start our week!
As we mourn recent losses here, it's so touching to be reminded of why we bring dogs into our life in the first place. The beauty of a watching new life take hold and become a part of the family is so precious.
Oh what a little fluff ball! She is so, so pretty. Angel Mackenzie's spirit will definitely guide her through her life. She fits right in. We loved watching she and her big brother play.
And as for Kobe, well he'd better watch out ... she's going to be big enough to sit on him eventually!
Congratulations Kami, we are thrilled for you!

How adorable! I have tears of joy in my eyes for you & family. I just want to rub her belly and lay on the floor and play "help, I'm being attacked by goldens" (which was Chloe & Skyler's favorite game).
Sending you lots & lots of golden hugs! Please post more videos as it really cheers us up! I can't wait to show this to Jane.

Oh My Dog... that was the cutest video! I just love your new fluff ball. And Kobe looks so happy, too. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the new addition, Kami. She's simply squishy adorable and isn't she and Kobe just a joyful team.
I'm so happy for you guys!

Oh thank you everyone for all of your wonderful comments! It really does mean so much to me. I have to admit it was pretty hard putting this video together since all my other videos were all about Mackenzie. Scarlett's already fast becoming the alpha dog - it's so cute to see her bossing Kobe around, standing on top of him and pushing him out of the way when she wants something. He takes it just like a big brother should. And yes, that was Kobe sitting on his sister's head. He used to do that all the time to Mackenzie - so funny - and she never minded when he did. He just picked up right where he left off with our little miss Scarlett.
Thank you again for all of your wonderful support and for being there. I am forever grateful.
Sending lots of golden hugs,
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!
Sorry to be so late Kami! Scarlett is beautiful and Kobe looks so happy to have someone to play with again. I wish you many years of joy with your new girl. I'm sure Mackenzie is sending down advice to Scarlett and love to you!

Congratulations on the new addition to the family! Scarlett is sooo adorable. Kobe and Scarlett are really cute together and looks like Kobe is going to be a great big brother to her.
Hoping for many years of love, laughter and happy days for you and your family with your beautiful Goldens!

What a wonderful gift Miss Mack sent to you. Scarlett is adorable - but she is a golden so that is a given!!
We are so happy that Kobe is enjoying being a big brother and has a playmate again.
We wish you only happiness with your new addition to the family and know Mackenzie is looking down and smiling that precious smile of hers, knowing she did good by putting Scarlett in your lives.

OMD, she is SO cute. Kobe looks like a very happy big brother. Wishing you all long, happy, healthy years together!
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
OK, I watched the video 30 minutes ago...and I still can't get the grin off my face.
How wonderful life is! Kobe looks like a little kid and he's loving every minute of it.
Here's to many, many years of joy, love and Golden hugs!
Shelby, the P.P.
Well "Hello World" is what that Scarlett is saying in her video! 
Love her name and fits her perfectly. She is absolutely gorgeous Kami! I couldn't help but to smile and cry at the same time watching your video. Kobe and Scarlett look so happy, like they have been best friends forever. I know Mackenzie is looking down with a big smile knowing the happiness baby Scarlett has brought to her family.
Brett and I are so happy for you guys. We are looking forward to hearing and seeing more updates of the new addition and her big brother.
Big hug to you all!
Pattie, Brett &

Oh, I LOVE puppies!! Scarlett sooo cute! I'm glad to see the head sitting tradition continues 
It looks like the beginning of a wonderful life together!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Oh Kami - I'm so happy for you! Scarlett is so adorable! And Mackenzie is surely smiling down on you! Congratulations - little Scarlett looks so sweet and we hope she brings you much joy!
Hugs,

Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!
