Hey Everybody,
We got a sneak preview to our LA Tripawd Pawty happenin' in Dec 19th. Chloe and Chloe's Mom (Nicole) got to visit us in LA as they were making their way to Nicole's parents for Thanksgiving. We had so much fun.....Mackenzie and Kobe welcomed Chloe with open paws and they got to play together, bark together and even snarl together. Kobe was the annoying little brother through it all and Chloe definitely put him in his place. You don't want to mess with Chloe that's for sure! 
So here's a short video on our time together....starring none other than Mackenzie, Chloe and Kobe!! Enjoy!
Kami (Mackenzie and Kobe's Mom)
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!
Too cute! Looks like you guys had a blast. Kobe's a big boy - he really reminds me of Riley. He might not like swimming, but he knows how to play! Chloe and Mackenzie, as always, look amazing.

I stopped the video at 1:32. I know that is some kind of bone in in MacKenzie's mouth, but I had to do a double take. It kind of looks obscene. Just sayin'.
Bwwwwahahahahahahah.
What a couple of beautiful happy dogs!
Mattie's mom
I want to have a tripawd party in Fairbanks. But, probably, none of you tripawds would come because you are soooo cliqueish or scared. Yeah you are all scared. Harrumph! How about it monkeydogs? Party in Alaska this summer? We can go schwimming! Monkeyface Mattie.
I had to stop the video at 1:32 because someone above distracted me! WTH! Mattie Monkeydog-face!
Love the video Kobe, Mackenzie and Chloe! Good times!
YES! We are clique group MISS MMF and guess who's not in it! Yeah, YOU!
Who wants to go to Alaska?............... Anyone?................... (I hear cricket noises.)
NOPE. Noone!
Tripawds are Super Duper! Monkeydogs are Party Poopers!
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.
Looks like lots of fun! Oh, and Monkeyface, tripawd Calpurnia is up there in Alaska and I bet she can wipe that monkeysmirk right off your monkeyface 
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.

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
I love the music! They got along really well, how great! I wish Sammy was more social like that, he would've stood in the corner and wanted only the peoples attention. Wonderful get together 🙂

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Thanks for sharing! They looked great! You put that 'boy' in his place, Chloe! 
Tracy, Maggie's Mom

And of course, Nicole, this video starred your girl!!

Great video!
It's so nice to see happy, playful pups - especially tripawds.
I would love to see a gathering in the northeast part of the country. Although, Zack would be much like Sammy - much more interested in humans than dogs (he has always considered himself more of a person than a dog - crazy!)
I was jealous of the weather in that video, too. It has gotten way too cold way too fast here in PA - I am not ready for it.
Zack, King of Dogs, 1996 to 2010
Zack lived a full 14 years, even to the end.
The joy and memories he provided us will last a lifetime.
Surviving him is his sister, Izzy, a 12-year-old boxer mix quadpawd.
And the latest addition, Zula, an 11-month-old pit bull mix tripawd.
