Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Tuesday Evening January 25, 2011

Gem of the Day: "To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you."
~Tony Dorsett~


"Angel" had her spleen removed (no cancer!) as well as huge bladder stones.
She recently flew to her new foster home from Northern California to Washington State via the not-for-profit organization, Pilots and Paws.


The pilot gets her little headset hooked up. How else would she be able to hear hear him when he said, "And on your left is the Pacific Ocean"?



"I'm such a world traveler."

Thank you to all of the volunteer pilots who do this great work!

McDreamy desperately needs your help. His urethra was all but severed when he was hit by a car before we rescued him from the shelter in Arlington Texas.
His pelvic bone was broken, crushing it and leaving it hanging by a thread.

Our surgeon had to reattach it back together. McDreamy is still in the ER recovering from this extensive surgical procedure where they resected the crushed urethra by grafting it together.

(Laymen's terms: The clipped off the crushed, dead part of urethra tissue in the middle. Then they sewed the two good ends together and prayed with all they had, that it holds.)

McDreamy will be under 24 hour emergency care through Thursday for sure. He may get to come home on Friday and we still need a foster home for hi within driving distance of Oklahoma City.

We really need your help to pay his bill.

This is his story.

We have these matching donation challenges to help us to help little McDreamy who was hit by a car in the Arlington Texas area.

First, we have this generous challenge from Sue Gellar in Texas, for $1000.00 for little McDreamy. Thank you Sue!

Robin,
Just read the heart wrenching story of McDreamy.
Don't know if you remember - I'm the friend of Sherry Swarts that moved to Dallas - met you when you came to talk to our Bichon Club several years ago.
I've told you about my Star - one of the puppies from the last litter that Sherry bred before she died. I'm so proud, my Star is a finished Champion, titled in Rally and, by far, most importantly - a certified Therapy dog at Baylor Hospital.
Star's sister, Abby had to be put down on Sunday night due to CANINE AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA 6 years old - tragic!!
After reading about McDreamy - I'm hoping our challenge of $1000.00 will help save this special guy. With his personality, he would be a great Therapy Dog and surely honor Abby's memory.
I'd ask anyone who has lost a beloved dog or knows someone who has - send a donation in their memory to help save this special little guy.
Sincerely,
Sue Geller>

And from Sue Hodges in Southern California, we have this challenge for $100.00. Thank you again, Sue!

Hi Robin,

I just told Dennis this morning that we needed to donate money to Small Paws for "Dolly Parton's" (Abby's)birthday. Abby turned 8 yesterday, and we would not have her if it wasn't for Small Paws and you, of course.
So, we will issue a matching challenge for $100.00.

Happy Birthday to Abby,
Rosemary & Dennis>

And from Shannon Shankle and her Bichon, Rusty, we have this challenge for up to five $20.00 matches! That would be two hundred dollars for McDreamy! Thank you Shannon!

$20 matching challenge ( up to five matches) to any of you that use a silly word or name to tell your fluffs to go outside to the bathroom or when you are walking them. Poor little McDreamy couldn't go pee-pee or wee-wee even if he wanted too! Thank god for Dr Skip. Shannon SHANKLE and Rusty>

This is how you can help little McDreamy. Bless his heart and yours. 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.
