We now have Baby Colby and he is at the Aztec Animal Hospital in Scottsdale AZ. Dr. Flores will be caring for him.

We have the following matching donation challenges for this baby.

Remember, distemper can be deadly and it will cost between $700-800.00 to diagnose him and treat him.

Distemper is very serious.

We have pulled through Bichons with distemper before.

Dear Robin,

Please a $50 matching challenge, to be used as best seen bit. My heart is breaking for little Colby!

Ok, that's all we know for now.

Please pray for him. It's a nasty disease for an adult to have, much less a baby.

All My Love, Robin

Prayer Reports and Requests

Here is the post I just made to friends about our Becca, originally named Pecca and rescued from the Missouri puppy mills at age 9. She never truly healed from her mill experience, but was happy and made us happy for six years. Let me say, to all the Small Pawsers out there, foster, consider a senior, consider a mill dog, they need you so much and, while the mill dogs are a challenge and the seniors leave us too soon, it is MORE than worth the trouble and the pain at the end to help them learn, grow, be loved in their final years.

Most of you didn't know Becca, even if you met her. She was almost 15 and spent 9 years in the Missouri puppy mills. She was our eighth foster fluff for Small Paws and not one person was ever interested in adopting her. We finally adopted her officially as our own and watched her slowly grow to trust us until, just this year for the first time, she took high value treats directly from our hands. She loved to follow us around, talk to us, learned to beg and was very happy, though she never ever wanted to be touched or held. She had been losing #'s for no reason over the last couple of months, but otherwise, she was her happy self. In fact she had a wonderful 3 weeks getting lots of treats from her grandpa while my parents came to visit this summer. Yesterday afternoon, she took a sudden turn for the worse and was in growing distress until by 9 pm she would actually let us hold her, which we both did off and on until 1:30 this morning, when she left us. She was a happy dog for those last few years, and we are grateful to have been blessed with being her parents for her final years. She is now cuddling in a fluff pile with her fellow SPR rescue and mill survivor, our beloved Lisa, who left us 15 months ago.

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.
