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."

Click Here to View Most Recent Appearance on Fox and Friends On Youtube!

Welcome! We hope you enjoy reading about the Bichons and the people who love them!

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

First of all I wanted to let you know some news we have about Bayn Carlson's
four dogs.

A little two year old named 'Cole", the star of YouTube's Cole's Climb , is the son of a little puppy mill girl that we had, named Laverne. We had her sister, too, and her name was Shirley.

Well, the Small Pawser who adopted Lavern and Shirley lives right outside of Tulsa and she has asked to foster Cole, Laverne's baby boy.

The transport will take place this weekend. Cole's Climb will continue with him going home to his birth Mama and his Aunt Shirley.

You tell me if this is a God Thing for this little boy. He lived against all adds, and now is going to go to be with his Mama and Aunt.

I am so proud to be associated with you all. So very proud.

Then, as you know, we have a very generous matching challenge for $5000.00 from Carol Camp. (See below)

It is alright with Carol if we break this down into 10 challenges for $500.00 or into 100 challenges for $50.00. So it all counts!

It's been comforting, reading all of the kind words you have written about Bayn Carlson.

I got this a while ago and wanted you to know that three of you now, have met part of the challenge with a $500.00 donation.

I remember this night when Janet Campbell contacted me last summer. Thank you Janet for that evening and for this one.

My Dear Sweet Robin,

Would this generous person be willing to accept 10 - $500 donations. I'll start by matching $500. If we can get 9 more, we'll be there. It could be in memory of Bayn, and Cole's Climb (go to YouTube everyone and view this, you won't be the same after). AND, the last minute tax deduction is the icing on the cake!

Robin, you don't really know me. I think it was last summer. You were so busy you weren't eating dinner with your husband Dale, so I donated to SPR if you would promise to eat dinner with him.

I'm a genuine Small Pawser now. Blessed by your emails, said when one of the fluffs is injured, rejoicing when one is given new hope, and oh so often brought closer to Jesus because of the way you share Him in your letters.

I cried last night because of the loss of your friend Bayn. I played Cole's Climb over and over last night. I remember when Bayn first posted it on YouTube. I shared it with everyone I knew, and we cried happy tears. Last nights tears were sad tears.

I am so very sorry for this loss.

Lastly, I can't match the $5,000 challenge, but I'll match a 10th of it. Maybe 9 others can match the $500 and we'll get to $5,000.

And in your words, All My Love,
Janet >

Bayn Carlson didn't have a lot of money, but he donated $20.00 every month. He believed in what we do, what we all do.

Some of us are able to give time, some of us are able to give money, and some of us are able to join in prayer that people will time or money will find their way to us in order to help these Bichons.

Then, if after they make their ways to us, if we can tell them about God's great love for each one of them, what could be better?

ALL of it is important. What each of us does is important. Please never ever think that you aren't a VERY important part of this organization, of this family.

Remember, we began this magnificent obsession back in 1998 with 10 people giving ten dollars, not with one person giving one hundred.

I miss my friend. I spoke to him each and every Christmas Day. I know that many of you had a close connection with Bayn, too.

Many of you are in shock and experiencing grief. I'm asking God to comfort you all, and to comfort Bayn's family.

I don't take this lightly when I say this. I know one thing. This I know.

Bayn loved Small Paws. We were his family. He loved the dogs and was so happy when each of his foster dogs found a home.

Or, when he took another pregnant mama into "Bayn's House for for Wayward Bichon Girls", and the litter he had whelped and raised was fortunate to find a wonderful home.

I remember hearing him call from veterinary emergency rooms with this one or that one.

One of his pregnant Mom's was having trouble and we lost one of the babies and Bayn cried like one himself, on the phone to me.

This is the story of one of his foster Mama's and their babies. He named them for the color of ribbon he put around their little necks when they were born so we could tell them apart. Blue, green, brown, yellow..

He wanted to help.

I think he would have liked knowing we are still trying to help. I know he would. All My Love, Robin

Dear Robin:

As you know, I found Small Paws when watching a segment on Animal Planet and immediately went to my computer. I had an elderly Bichon and knew I wanted to continue owning the breed and knew that Chloe was not long for this world. At that time, too, I had been looking for a place to offer my tithe where I felt deep in my heart that it was truly a "God thing". That was eight years ago when I found Small Paws and dedicated my tithe to the organization. It truly is where I know that I have planted a seed that continues to grow and thrive.

I have been so blessed since then and as I continued to give, I continued to receive. So now, at the end of the year, I would like to issue a challenge to those out there who may wish to donate a year-end amount which will give them a tax deduction rather than just paying that money to the government. I, for one, am much happier giving a donation to Small Paws which knows how to put my money to the best of uses. :)

I would like to issue a challenge in the amount of $5,000 to anyone out there who knows the benefit that money can do in saving these little dogs we all adore and who may be looking for the perfect charitable donation to make.

God bless and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love-
"Christmas Carol"

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.
