Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Tuesday Evening December 28, 2010


Bayn Carlson With little "Irving".

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words
left unsaid and deeds left undone.

See Bayn's heart warming Youtube video of one of his last foster Bichons, whom he adopted.
Be sure to listen to the song Bayn was singing on "Cole's Climb"

Dear Small Pawsers,

This is a difficult newsletter to write to you all, especially around the Holidays.

Bayn Carlson, one of our long time North Texas volunteers, died suddenly at his home last Wednesday, December 22, 2010.


There will not be a memorial service at per the families request.

If an online memorial guest book becomes available, I will share it with you.

Bayn did a lot for rescue and he was my friend.

Bayn was 47 years old.

He is survived by his Mother and Dad, Sandra and Larry Carlson of MN., and a sister, Sherry, of Atlanta.

He also left four precious little ones, all adopted from Small Paws.

We, of course, have them now. Many thanks to Bayn's pet sitter, Mary Ann, and to Pat, the Frisco Humane Society Volunteer who kept them all for us over the Holiday weekend.

They are now being groomed and brought up to date at our vet's office.

They will be ready for foster homes on Friday. If you think you could help us by fostering one of Bayn's four Bichons, please let me know.

Two of them Honey, a little puppy mill girl and Mackey, need to stay together. They are bonded. Honey is very clingy and needs lots of love, and a quiet home.


Bayn with Cole

Cole, the youngest one, who is two, will need medications for the rest of his life for his liver, but he seems to be a normal two year old from outward appearances.

Miles, is around 10 and was a foster puppy at our house when he was a baby.

This is another video that Bayn made for Youtube about Small Paws Rescue.

Our prayers are with his family.

We don't have an e-mail address for his family, but we will send a sympathy card to his parent's home, in MN.

This has been a Christmas I will never forget with the loss of Bayn Carlson. All My Love, Robin

Bayn recorded a CD called"Songs to My Grandmother".

This was the last song on that CD.

If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven

Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore
'Til we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore

If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of river of life

Where the roses bloom forever
And where separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore

O they say we shall meet by the river
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky
And they say we’ll be happy in heaven
In that wonderful sweet by and by

If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of river of life

Where the roses bloom forever
And where separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore.


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.
