Dear Small Pawsers,
Welcome to our newest members of our Small Paws® Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of
you who have seen us on Fox and Friends in New York City, or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101."
Welcome! We hope
you enjoy reading
about
the Bichons and the
people who love them!
If you missed our last newsletter, here it
is
Carrie Rogers, our Team Leader to the Pacific
Northwest, wasn't a team leader back when
this next story happened.
Some of you will remember it and others are
probably still trying to forget it!
When we recently found out that our little
female rescue "Maria Noel", who
was hit by a car AND was also attacked by
something that left teeth marks, was really
our little MALE now named "Jingles",
(SANS Bells but not for long , it reminded
me of this story.
This is how it happened. I couldn't make
it up if I tried. Go back with me in time
to the year 2001. This was back when you
could write about body parts without your
e-mails being blocked as SPAM.
Ok. This is just how it happened back in
2001.
"Penelope has
a WHAT??!"
So now you know that
sometimes girls are
boys, boys are girls
and some people don't
can't tell the difference!
Jingles, (with bells but not for long) Formerly
known as Maria Noel,
does need surgery and
his surgery is funded
thanks to you all.
This is an update from Carrie Rogers on little
Maria Noel/NKA (Now Known As) Jingles with
Bells
Subject: Estimate: Jingle's vet report.

To: pup3@aol.com
I just got off the
phone with Dr. Butler
at Mid Valley Vet.
She said that Jingle Bells
was overall a very
lucky boy. His tail got
the worst of it.
She said 3/4 of his tail
suffered a compression
injury and needs to
be amputated ASAP,
they would like to do
that tomorrow (as
its already nasty) and
neuter him while
he's out. She says the tail
is already squishy
and she is concerned if
it isn't amputated
soon, he will have a systemic
infection. He does
have 2-3 small pelvic
fractures, but there
is no hip involvement,
so it does not need
to be surgically repaired.
They recommend crate
rest for his healing.
He has no damage
to any internal organs.

So that's the news
on Jingles who is
going
to be fine, thank
God, but whose Bells
are
not long for this
world.
Our next big emergency is little Furby. He
was found as a stray
with a grade 5/6
PDA
heart murmur
Baby Furby is about 9 months old and he is
presently being fostered with one of our
Ohio Team Leaders, Sharon King, near Worthington
Ohio.
We have done this surgery many times before.
After this life saving surgery the dog lives
a normal life with a normal life span.
Without the surgery,
well, we don't even
want to go there.
The Heart Murmur
Reunion Bichons
I asked our great Cardio guy, Dr. Thaibinh Nguyenba. Pronounced "Ty-Bin
Win-Baw" if this surgery could wait or if it needed
to be done now.
His heart is enlarged
already. (Furby's
not
Thaibinh's)
We have had these
heart pups look up
at us
and go south fast.
I'll never forget
the litter we were
transporting
by car to Texas A&M.
They looked fine
when they left our
vet's
office in Tulsa.
By the time they
were past
Dallas one had died
and another one was
headed
downhill.
It's a funny thing
(funny strange, not
funny,
funny) about these
heart murmur babies.
You just can't tell
by looking at them
if
they are going to
keep looking back
at you
or keel right over
deader than a doornail.
The last time we
were on Animal Planet,
it
was about one of
our heart babies,
little
Binti.
YouTube - Small Paws
on Animal Planet
So we need to raise funds for Furby's heart.
Each time we do this lifesaving surgery,
the cost is right a $2000.00 which is a significant
savings of the normal price of this surgery,
even with discounts or with using a vet school.
They can cost from $3000-5000, depending
on the part of the country you are in.
And we think that our guy is the just the
best. Wanna see?
Dr. Thaibinh Nguyenba.
So Baby Furby needs
surgery THIS coming
Friday
on December 10.
We have but a couple
of days to raise
the
funds for him.
We have the auction
funds coming in but
we
won't see those until
early next week.
Also, they are going to be helping with some
other cases that I will tell you about as
we go on.
It's to much to tell
you about all at
once.
It's to much to WRITE
about all at once!
This is how to help
little Furby to have
a heart! All My Love,
Robin

Robin and Bonnie,
I need to write and thank everyone so much
for the love and prayers for Tom. He has
had the trach removed last week and was moved
to a rehab facility called Arlington Gate
here in Columbus to be able to get his strength
back. He dropped 40+ #'s during all this
and still on a feeding tube but able to eat
anything now, no limits. We have been truly
blessed that he made it though all of this
including a code blue on Oct 8th. It has
been a long 3 months but hoping for him to
be home for Christmas. He even has gone to
the lobby at Arlington and played the grand
piano a bit. He is a very accomplished musician,
well known in our area here. It is truly
amazing what the medical community can help
accomplish along with a patient that will
not give up~!!
I just had to let all the Mighty Prayer Warriors
know another miracle accomplished here in
Columbus, Oh and thank you ALL so very much!!
I have attached a picture his wife just took
yesterday.
Thank you all again
My wonderful Small
Paws
Family!~

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.
