Gem of the Day: "Warning to Prevent Chocolate Overdose in Pets this Easter"



"We encourage everyone to keep chocolate and baked goods containing chocolate out of reach of their pets.”

Chocolate contains chemicals, such as caffeine and theobromine to which dogs are particularly sensitive. Theobromine is a naturally-occurring stimulant in the cocoa bean, used to make chocolate.

Happy Easter to everyone!

First, we have an update on little Mia who was HBC (hit by car) and left for four days to lie in a cage at a kill shelter without pain meds, with a pelvis that was broken in three places.

She is doing so much better now that she is with us!

This is from our Team Leader for IL. and IN. ,Sara Pace.

Mia is feeling much better and what a little love bug. Loves her belly rubbed!

Sara<

We have raised under $2400.00 so far of the needed $3500.00 to be able to take care of Robbie, Finnegan, Mia and Smudge, in Sara's Pace's team of IN. and IL.

And now we have another one. It's little 12 year old Chauncey. This one needs us all. Bless his little heart.

Chauncey Small Paws and Sara Pace

Hi Robin,

Kathy called. The 12 year old is in awful condition. Urine and stool covered. Nails are so long he could hardly walk. He has age related cataracts and a skin tag on his right eye, they will remove the skin tag when the do the dental.

Here are some more pics of 12 yr old Chauncey. He is a sweet ball of (dirty) fur!

He was sitting in his own urine and stool at animal control.

His nails probably haven't been trimmed in a very long time, or has his hair. He is scheduled for dental, groom, nail trim and what looks to be a skin tag by his right eye.

He will be quarantined for 16 days. His estimated cost is $600. He was pulled today by Kathy Macpherson (thank goodness for her). He would have been euthanized this week.

He is safe and awaiting his new life!

Some of you may have missed this yesterday.

A 12 year old can have a lot of life left to live.

My own Spunky Monkey is proof of this. A 12 year old Bichon isn't the same as a 12 year old large breed dog. Click below to see the sport "Extreme Blitzing".

See the video taken on Wednesday of my own 12 year old "Spunky Monkey" being chased by"Reagan", our foster dog, while Chipper, age 13, referees. (Can you tell who is the 1 year old and who is the 12 year old?? Little Reagan is the one chasing Spunky Monkey!)

We are now $1600.00 short of being able to pay the vet bills for hit by car Mia, long legged Finnegan, Smudge's hip surgery, Robbie named after yours truly, thank you very much, I think, and now little 12 year old Chauncey.

We need $4100.00 just to pay for these five vet bills.

We have raised under $2400.00

Heading into a Holiday weekend, I am praying some of you are still here and able to help these little ones.

We can't continue to take them in if we can't raise funding for them.

They can't type so they asked me to tell you that they need help.

Here they are again, one more time.

Mia Small Paws was hit by a car and left in a crate at a kill shelter where she sat for four days without pain meds. Estimate for vetting is $500-600.


Robbie Small Paws 2-3 years old rescued from a high kill shelter. Estimate for vetting is $500.00. Very sweet boy.


Finnegan and Sara. 1.5 years old. Very tall, Vet Estimate is for $500.00.


Smudge when we first rescued him from the shelter.
He could not walk, his hips were so bad, and he was in pain.


Smudge after his first hip surgery. He felt so much better.
His second FHO surgery was done on Tuesday. $1800.00 - 20% rescue discount.

Thank you all so much. Have a wonderful Easter weekend and keep the chocolate away from the fuzzballs! All My Love, Robin

Thanks Robin for putting the prayer request out and for your prayers! He is in ICU. They could not get it all out without Jeff sustaining facial paralysis so the doctor followed Jeff's request to not do that. It doesn't look malignant to the doctor. I read these can grow back and am praying that his will not. He was shivering but they finally got him blankets and because they had to cut some bone by his ear and retract his brain, he had a terrific headache. He got medicine and I am praying they will keep him warm and comfortable with no complications. Cerebrospinal fluid can and does leak fairly commonly and then they have to fix that, but I am praying his doesn't. Your concern and prayers are so appreciated ! He really is a good man.

Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006

When I first saw this beautiful picture of Cheri Sisco's "Humphrey", I thought it was truly the epitome of what we do, and why we do it. I wanted to use this black and white picture of Humphrey, taken only days before his death due to congestive heart failure, to let those who may be new to Small Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known love. He would have died in a kill shelter, sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
