ZORRO UPDATE:
APRIL
30th 2008
Zorro improves daily, sunning
on the Mackey's home porch. He continues to choose the
outdoors over the comfort of a couch. Lance says "he
has the mind of a 2 year old, he still wants to run and
play, but his body reminds him that it is not possible
yet." Each
day he gains strength in his back and hips. He has the
will power to heal and resume being the dog he once was.

Dodge Presents Lance
with Key
Lance was all grins today. Like a teenager with his very
first car. Lance received his 2008 Iditarod Dodge key,
part of his winnings in this years Iditarod Sled Dog Race.
He surprised everyone by
choosing a beautiful Dodge Charger instead of the traditional
truck.
"It was a tough decision,"
Lance said with a twist of the head "but when I saw
that pretty blue Doge Charger in the showroom, it was
screaming at me" he smiled. "I have trucks for
mushing, they just need some work, transmissons replaced
or some cosmetic touches. This will be a better family
car and better on gas".
"Ron Udd, owner of the
Anchorage Chysler Dodge dealership,
is an amazing guy for his continued sponsorship with Iditarod
year after year". Lance says with pride, "He's
my hero. The man just gives and gives".
The Big Mackey

Zorro Continues to Mend
-
APRIL 17, 2008
With lot's of
loving and fussing from the Mackey family, Zorro is
doing amazing. "He still has his limits" says
Lance " little baby steps each day. He's like me
in this healing process. He does'nt want to sit around.
He'd go crazy. So everyday he does what he can. He's
standing for periods of time. When he gets tired he
sits. I know it's frustrating for him. He's nine years
old now, it's tough to bounce back from an injury when
your older". explains Lance.
In Alaska's
mid morning sun,
Zorro enjoys sitting on the porch for a half hour over
looking the dog lot where he once ruled. Then it's back
to his cozy kennel indoors.
"It will be a slow transition to the house for
Zorro. I think eventually he will take a liking to the
couch life. We are thankful we still have him around,
hopefully for many years to come. It's a real blessing."
Lance says with a sigh of relief.

Zorro Update -
April 8th 2008
Although weak
and confined to a kennel, Zorro is happy to be back
home amongst his kennel mates. Lance explains "his
brain says I want to be back outdoors playing with the
rest of the sled dogs, but his physical body says, not
yet'.
"Zorro has been wagging his tail and tilting
his head to the sky recognizing familar smells and
sounds. We are all glad to see him home. The doctors
say he must stay calm, no running, jumping or breeding
for this stud for at least 4 months" says Lance.
Sincere
thanks
for all your support!
There has been a tremendous response to helping with
Zorro's medical bills and travel expenses. "People
just helped us with open arms". Lance says with
a heart felt sigh "We are so grateful to all
the folks in Seattle and Tacoma, and all of those
who sent us donations. Wonderful get well cards have
been arriving in the mail every day with doggie cookies
and blankets just for Zorro" wife Tonya adds."It's
incrediable".
"We are at awe at the support and thank all of
you for your help, it was one less worry on our minds
as the days went by. We will never forget
the kindness from so many". Lance and Tonya both
said.

Update on
"Zorro" - April
2, 2008:
Zorro is in Seattle with Lance and Tonya. The
best news is, vets have completed an MRI and Zorro will
NOT need back surgery at this time. He has a minor concussion,
some bruising on the lung, 3
broken ribs, swelling, bruising & bleeding on the
spine with one injured disc.
Zorro is responding to things around him. They expect,
with time, he will get feeling in his back legs and be
able to stand and walk. Zorro will be released friday
evening from the Seattle vet clinic to come home and begin
his long road to recovery with veterinarians in Fairbanks.
Zorro will need
6-8 months of care and therapy. Doctors are optimistic
for his recovery.
March
31, 2008:
Many of you are aware that Lance Mackey's dog "Zorro"
was injured during the 2008 All Alaska Sweepstakes when
a snow machine collided with his team. Zorro was in
the sled bag when the machine struck his sled. Zorro
sustained 3 broken ribs, some internal bleeding, and
spinal injuries. He is not able to stand or use his
back legs. Doctors are considering flying Zorro to Seattle
for spinal surgery. We will know more when an MRI is
done on Zorro this afternoon.
A lot of you have been asking about helping with expenses
associated with Zorro's vet bills. They already are
$3,700 and the cost will certainly climb if he needs
to be flown to Seattle for surgery.

UPDATE
ON "HOBO"
For all of you asking..."Hobo", one of Lance's
key lead dogs, is doing just fine. He was on antibiotics
for a few days from a dog bite to his leg (a puncture).
Nothing serious. He has healed wonderfully!
He
is getting plently of TLC. Shorts walks in the late
afternoon, extra helpings of Red Paw dog food and
many nose kisses. He'll be ready for All Alaska
Sweepstakes if called upon.
UPDATE
ON "LARRY"
Sweet
and wild "Larry" is all good. No worries.
The cut on his foot (the pad) was minor, just an
abrasion. It is healing quickly and he, as always,
is jumping and screaming to go.
