Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Thursday Afternoon January 27, 2011

Gem of the Day: One of our beloved volunteers from Redford, MI. passed away this morning after complications from heart surgery.

Gary Thuss, Jane Cameron's (Janeway59@aol.com) husband, died early this morning.

Jane is a charter member of SPR and was there from day one when we started out on the old AOL Bichon Message Board, before we even had a name.

Jane has been a loyal supporter, foster home and adopter for almost 13 years now.

I would like to be able to attend Gary's memorial service which will be help sometime next week, to represent Small Paws Rescue, whom he loved with his whole heart.

If anyone has enough miles on Delta Airlines, to donate a round trip ticket, there are non-stop flights out of Tulsa to Detroit.

Please let me know if you can help in this way.

Jane asked me to thank everyone who has called and sent cards to Gary. She said he got a big kick out of hearing from people all over the world whom he had never met in person.

Godspeed Gary. You will be missed.

Jane, we are praying for you. We love you.

Dear Small Pawsers,

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 we have a couple of high priority rescues going on right now.


McDreamy needs to stay an extra weekend in the ER in OKC.

One is little McDreamy who was hit by a car. He had a urethra graft done in Oklahoma City.

He was supposed to come home tomorrow, but the Dogtors want him to stay there and stay still until Monday to give that graft a better chance of taking hold.

We are still not there yet to be able to pay his vet bill and to spring him on Monday.

Help is still needed for him as well as a foster home within driving distance of OKC.

Krista, Dr. Skips's nurse told me that McDreamy is just a living doll and just loves everyone. We sure don't want to move him too soon.

Then, we have another heart murmur Bichon and we have only raised about 1/4 of what we need for her surgery which is $2000.00.


2 year old "Christmas Eve" is one of the Bichons that a good Samaritan stopped from being shot by her commercial kennel owner in Missouri, back in December.


Linda Fausey, one of our Ohio Team Leaders, and Eve's foster Mom,
took this picture last night.

We have the following matching donation challenges for little Eve's heart.

She needs this surgery as her heart is enlarged and there isn't much room left in there for it to keep beating. It is working overtime and then some, as it is right now.

I hope there are some of you who can answer some of these challenges for our little girl, Christmas Eve.

First, from our friend Sue Hodges, in Southern California, we have this challenge. If someone will match Sue, she will donate $100.00. That would be $200.00 towards Eve's surgery! Thank you again, Sue!

Hi Robin,
Don't worry about the story, just ask as you always do.
I'm sure everyone knows what is in your heart.
With that the Big B would like to issue a $100.00 challenge. After all he was from one of the puppy mills from the state of Missouri, oops, I mean misery. Deborah and Boris>

And from another of our heart babies, Sue Rambin and Johnny in Washington State, we have this challenge for $10.00. Thank you Sue! I just love that Edgar!

Good morning Robin.

Johnny, our heart murmur baby, is challenging all of the heart murmur babies who have received this life saving surgery to have their people pledge $10.00. With all of the heart murmur babies sending in $10.00 we will raised more than enough, and maybe some extra for the next baby that needs to fix it's heart.

Edgar and Louie say hi too.

And from Sherry Keller we have this challenge for $100.00 for little Eve's surgery! Thank you Sherry!

Hi Robin, Bless her heart, she looks so pitiful. Please issue a challenge for $100.00 for little Eve.

Hang in there, looks like SPR has had one emergency after another while I was out of touch.

Love to all, Sherry Keller<

So that's where we are on this fine Thursday afternoon.

If any of you are inside, escaping a snow storm, it will warm your heart to assist one of these two precious babies, McDreamy and our little heart girl, Christmas Eve.

They want to do her surgery tomorrow. HELP.

All My love, Robin

Hi Robin, I was planning to write you in a few minutes about a friend's dog when your newsletter popped up. Those little eyes of Eve's really got to me. I'll have a $25.00 check in the mail tomorrow to help pay for her medical expenses. I have a request. My very good friend has an English Setter who is almost 18 years
old. Her name is Kirbie. Kirbie has developed some very serious health issues and needs your mighty prayer warriors to pray for her. If ever there was a perfect dog, this girl is the one. In the almost 18 years I've known her she has been the perfect lady---so gentle and sweet. Like I said the health problems are serious and her mom is quite upset. So please remember Kirbie and her mom, Claudia on your next prayer list. I told Claudia I was going to do this and she is fine with it. Kerry Ruffner

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.
