Remember little Jingles is the Bichon who
had been hit by a car and also had bite marks
on him as if something had attacked him.
Here he is after surgery. His tail had to
be amputated. But he is going to make it
and he is a little LOVE!

Robin, Here he is after his surgery. He's
sleeping peacefully and without pain
(I want some of whatever he's taking..lol).
They said his tail
WAS rotten, poor boy,
can't imagine the
pain he must have been
in. It won't be the
only thing he finds missing
when he wakes up!
If you look at his little tail stump, they
were able to save some of his tail, at least.
Look at those beautiful halos around his
eyes, makes me wanna pet him.
What a sweet little
boy.

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
As you know, our next big medical emergency
is little Furby's heart. He was found as
a stray with a grade 5/6 PDA heart murmur.
This means he was born with a hole in his
heart. Usually, this closes when mammals
take their first breaths. Furby's did not.
Now his heart has to work much harder to
pump the blood because there is a hole, a
leak. All of that extra work, makes the heart
enlarged and there is only so much room in
a little Bichon's chest. That's the problem.
And Furby's heart is already pretty enlarged!

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 same PDA heart murmur repair
surgery many times
before.

were on Animal Planet, it
was about one of
our heart babies, little
Binti.

We have these matching donation challenges
for Baby Furby's heart. They need to know
they can do this surgery on FRIDAY, December
10! We need to know there is money in the

Many thanks in advance
to all who are issuing
challenges. I'm hoping
there are folks out
there who have been
blessed and are able
to meet them!
First, from Sue Hodges
in Southern California,
we have this matching
donation challenge.

Is there anyone who

save
this little guys
life.

Hi,
This cold morning I read about Baby Furby's
heart issue. I got on the heart reunion page
to see what was written about our Pansy SPR,
who had heart surgery two years ago! The
initial outlook wasn't totally optimistic,
so I am super happy to say her outlook for
Christmas 2010 is GLOWING! If she could speak
she would say Thank you!! So, with our fingers
and paws crossed for this baby, we would
like to issue a $50 challenge for Furby's
heart surgery.
Keep up the good
work, Jackie Richard>
And from Claire, the lazy quilter we have
this challenge for $25.00! Thank you Claire!

Dearest friends that
I haven't met yet. But
you all know who
you are. Christmas is coming,
but all of my children
and grand children
are over 21 yrs of
age.. that makes me..
old.
Susan, all of us
are running on fumes, we
all know that. But
do we really need to spend
that much more on
grand children? They're
not going to know
who gave what anyway. So
please issue a $25.00
challenge.
To all a Good Night,
and as they say in
the
military, everyone
comes back to table
for
a meal. As for Small
Paws and other rescues,
again from the military..
every morning we
wake up, it's boots
on the ground. May
God
help us as we try
so hard to "bring"
these little ones
to a loving home.

And we have this
challenge for $35.00. Thank
you Melissa!

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.
