"Nala" in Ohio needs a growth removed from her little back leg. After paying our vet bills last Monday night, our bookkeeper, Dave Hagadorn, told us that we were in the red by $631.00. :( See more below.

Ok, we have a little one in Ohio who needs surgery to remove a tumor on her little foot.

Her vet bill will be between $660-$800.00.

Normally, I would try not to come to you with a bill this size but after paying our vet bills last Monday night, Dave Hagadorn told us that we were in the red by $631.00. :(


See Vet Bills Paid For the First Eight Days of August, 2011 in the
amount of $17, 898.92. which is an average of $2237.37 per day
.

It is costing us an average of over $2000.00 a day, to pay our vet bills.

And it's August. So many people are away during the month of August it seems, and yet the needs of the Bichons we have in rescue, seem to be up.

This is from Sharon King and Linda Fausey, our Ohio Team Leaders.

Robin,




Nala came to us 1 wk ago from a KY. kill shelter. (She too came with the help of
Pilots-N-Paws:) ) Nala is estimated to be 12-14. Her owners dumped her at the shelter because they "didn't want her any more." :( She is being quarantined at Groveport Animal Clinic and when the vet examined her yesterday she noted a growth (approx 2 in.) on Nala's back foot. Dr. Franklin needs to know whether to take it off when she does the spay and dental, which is currently scheduled for Friday.

The additional cost would be about $415 including sending off for a pathology report.

That would bring the total for spay, dental and growth removal to between $660 and $800 (the difference being whether she needs teeth removed or not).

Another option would be to do a needle aspirate and send it of for pathology ($140) before deciding whether or not to remove the growth, but that doesn't sound like something you would want to do.

If it's any consolation, she came to us with ALL her shots and a hw test. The only thing she needed (we thought) was a spay and dental.

Please let us know if it's ok to proceed with her surgery on Friday.

We need to remove that growth, so that she will be adoptable.

A Bichon this age can have a lot of zip left!

Below is a recent short video of our Reagan Pressnall, who is almost two and acts like a puppy, and our Spunky the Monkey Pressnall, who is 12 1/2 and acts like a puppy since Reagan came! Ha! Chipper Pressnall, the one in the video caught stealing a dead kleenex, is 13 1/2 and he loves his toys and loves to play with Reagan and Spunky the Monkey! They all walk a mile a day in the mornings with their Dad.

See the video. (Reagan is in the blue collar and 12 1/2 year old Monkey Man is in the red one. This goes on all day at our house!)

We need help for this little one who lost her home and everyone she knew because she had the nerve to get older.

She needs your help so we can authorize this surgery.

I am here and will issue all matching challenge donations.

Nala needs us. She needs you.

All My Love, Robin

Prayer Reports and Requests


Subject: Tues night update Cookie in OKC
Date: 8/9/2011 9:18:04 P.M. Central Daylight Time
From: dtater1@cox.net

Just had to get on here and tell you about our visit with Cookie tonight. After all of the “not so good news” last night we got good news tonight. They want to send her home tomorrow if nothing changes tonight.

Cookie’s platelets went from 44,000 to 87,000 in one night and her RBCs went up 2%. The doctor said that shows that her bone marrow is working and they found evidence of new RBCs being made. She still isn’t eating for them but she took a pill pocket from me and 2 spoonfuls of turkey meat. We might have to syringe feed her when she comes home but we will gladly do that and she will probably start eating a little better after she comes back home.

We are just so excited that she might be coming home tomorrow.

Suppose to have some storms coming possibly so better get off of here. Just wanted to let you know that GOD is great and the power of prayer is real.

Thanks again for all of your prayers and for your support. Just can’t thank everyone enough.

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.
