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

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

We are still trying to get our bank account up to a level where we can operate and give vets authorizations to do much needed surgeries on several of our rescued Bichons.

We have one last matching challenge for you. I hope someone can match this one. Thank you Darla!

<From Darla Alexander, wintercomesearly@gmail.com:
I want to issue a $25.00 matching challenge to another SPR lover who is on a fixed income like me but want to see those 2 dogs from the man who went into the nursing home brought into rescue. It could happen to any of us. I wish it could be more, but at least maybe we can double this. Hugs to Chipper - may he do well tomorrow and Happy Birthday too! >

OK..I didn't want you to think we are there yet or even nearly there yet in regard to fundraising, but I stopped into a Starbucks in OKC to be able to send you the pictures of McDreamy leaving Dr. Skips, our surgeon!

McDreamy has been there nearly a month.

First, he was hit by a car in Arlington TX. Witnesses called animal control and they came for him.

Then they called us.

His pelvic bone was broken and he could not stand.

But worse than that, the broken pelvic bone had crushed and nearly severed his urethra and he couldn't urinate. Poisons were backing up into his system.

This soon became a medical emergency.

Two surgeries later, he has a new opening from which to urinate, and he is urinating just fine.

He is a happy boy, almost a year old.

These are the pictures from this morning.

Deb Snider drove up from Norman OK to pick him up and to begin the drive towards Arkansas to meet his new foster Mom, Debbie Archer.

Many thanks to both of these ladies for helping with our little McDreamy!

My Chipper is in surgery now to remove a suspicious looking mole from the top of his head. We're not worried but are sending it off to pathology to make sure it isn't anything.

Please continue to pray for funds to come in to help these Bichons!

Ok, these are the pictures and videos of McDreamy, our miracle boy. All My Love, Robin

He is wiggling so much, it was hard to get the leash hooked onto his harness!


Here he is leashed up to get ready to leave the hospital!
His tail is just wagging to beat the band!


"OK! I'm leashed up already! Let's Goooooo!"

See the first short video of McDreamy outside!

See the second short video of McDreamy!
Folks, this was a GREAT save, all thanks to you!

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.
