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

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

I try not to do too much fundraising during our online auctions, as I know that many of you are bidders there!

Less than half of the items have received any bids yet, so please, go and shop for delightful Bichonly and non-Bichonly items!

Many thanks to both the bidders and the donors who are helping with this online auction!

As I said, I try not to fund raise too much during the auction, but we have a situation that we need address.

We have a little 2 year old, 11 pound male here in Tulsa, who came from a shelter and was about to be euthanized.

2 year old "Blitzer"


"Blitzer" loves everyone and everything!

"Blitzer" is mostly blind due to juvenile cataracts.

He can see a little light, but that is fading fast.

He is just darling and is so very loving.

The problem is that juvenile cataracts are a congenital condition that can lead to glaucoma and other serious eye disease and they can also become quite painful.

They are different than normal age related cataracts.

We need to surgically remove these cataracts if this little guy is to be adoptable and free from pain.

Dr. Gwen, here in Tulsa, an eye specialist, has started "Blitzer" on pre-surgery eye drops and is giving us a huge discount, IF we can raise the funds to do this surgery.

The quote we got back in Dallas was for $2500.00 PER eye.

Dr. Gwen will do this for us for a total of $2700.00.

If we could get a foster home in the OKC area where he needs to have surgery, that would be an even added bonus.

I know this is a lot to ask right now, but he is really just a baby, and he doesn't understand this at all.

He only wants to please. Whoever adopts him will have a wonderful family member.

Can you help us to help little Blitzer?

We have these matching challenges to start with.

This first one is from MaLinda Cotten at southerncotton1@gmail.com.

She made this after hearing about the little one who was left in a vacant house in Nevada. We have him now! Thank you MaLinda, for issuing this challenge!

Robin,

Its MaLinda and Rotten Cotton here I have several rental properties and it just makes me feel terrible that landlords and neighbors aren't stepping up and getting these animals out of the house if they know no-one is there. I never would leave one in a house that is so cruel. I want to issue a challenge for 100.00 for anyone who feels the same way in Rotten Cotten's name because I would never want this to happen to her. God bless you. MaLinda Rapier and Rotten Cotton>

Ok, that's the news. Help is needed. All My Love, Robin

P.S. More from the recent CT. Bichon Bash held in Derby CT.

"Daisy" and I at the CT. Bash, at 7 Mos. old. (Daisy, not me.)


"Daisy" right after rescue when she was known as "SPR Christmas Star."
(The artist formerly known as "Star". Ha)

"Daisy" was one of the 13 Bichons we rescued around Christmas time, from the Joplin MO. shelter, where a neighbor heard gunshots and found his neighbor, a puppy miller, getting ready to shoot his Bichons.

We took them from the shelter and Daisy is one of them that you all saved!

Hello Robin, so sorry to hear of your problems returning home from
CT. We are following the horrible aftermath of the tornados and are
very aware this will affect animal rescue organizations around the
country, including SPR. Here are just a few pics from the CT
gathering. Thank you for taking a photo with Daisy Star, I'll put it
in her scrapbook!

I've sent along her "before" photo just to
illustrate the dramatic change and growth. Today's puppy adventure
with Daisy was her somehow opening my Mom's sewing kit and pulling out
one of those old tomato pin cushions and tearing it apart! Wood dust
and shavings and pins all over the living room, including the
furniture! She's fine. I'm exhausted from the clean up.

I really enjoyed the bash and hope to attend next year. I'm about to
post the auction to my facebook and look forward to bidding! Keep up
the good work!

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.
