Gem of the Day: A blind person asked St. Anthony:

"Can there be anything worse than losing your eye sight?"
He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"


Meet precious and oh by the way, so very sweet, "McDreamy".

McDreamy was seen being hit by a car. X-rays tell us that he has a fractured pelvis and needs surgery to repair it. He would be in great pain if it weren't for the care he is receiving until we can raise the funds for his surgery.

We are hoping to be able to have his pelvis repaired by Dr. Skip in OKC, on Thursday morning, with your help.
Skip's giving us a discounted price of $1750.00.
Anywhere else in the Dallas- Ft. Worth, Texas area it would be about $3500-4000.00.

McDreamy needs your help. He will also need a foster home within driving distance of Oklahoma City as of this coming Saturday morning.
HELP?


See below for more pictures of this precious boy.

"McDreamy" is named for one of the main characters on
the hit TV show, "Grey's Anatomy".

Robin,

There was so much going on at the shelter, I had a hard time trying to keep up with the discussion. My best recollection is that someone saw McDreamy being hit by a car and knocked silly. The witness called the shelter which had animal control officer pick up the dog. Blood was reported to have been noted on his rear end. From looking at the messy coat, I would say he was very poorly cared for. However, he does have a nice disposition. He just wants human attention. I sat him on the passenger seat so he could be as close to me as possible and I could put my hand on him. He constantly got as close to me as he could but had a hard time getting comfortable. I'm sure that was caused by the pain from the broken pelvis.

At the shelter and then when I delivered him to the vet on Thursday, he was hauled out of the crate without any trouble at all. He did not want to jump down from the crate in my car on Thursday. Now, we know why and that is he hurt too badly to put a lot of weight on the pelvis that a jump would cause.

This guy will make some family a super dog. That is if they like a dog that wants lots of human attention and love.

This is the face of pain.
This was taken before we got McDreamy started on meds for the pain.

We need your help to be able to help McDreamy.

I'm happy to issue all matching challenges. Being hit by a car, and left on the side of the road is bad. I can't imagine one of mine going through this awful experience.

I'm hoping there are those reading this now who may feel led to help our latest hit by car Bichons, McDreamy Small Paws. All My Love, Robin

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.
