Gem of the Day: "No time for a gem today."



This is a quick message to ask for your prayers for Dale and I and for our precious Spunky Monkey, who is 12 years old. How medical emergencies can happen to both of my own personal dogs in 24 hours is beyond me. But is has happened.

My Spunky Monkey is at Dr. Skips in OKC with what they first thought was a cervical disc in his neck. This happened sometime yesterday. He was blitzing with a toy in his mouth yesterday morning and then Dave Hagadorn came over to pick up our vet bills at noon as he does each Monday.

He reached down to pet Spunky and he screamed, and he screamed off an on until I could rush him up to Dr. Russell's. Doc suspected a disc issue in his neck.

I rushed him to OKC this morning and Dr. Skip Tangner just did a myelogram. He really suspected it was a disc, but the news just came back that it isn't.

There is a small lesion of some kind on the bone in his neck. They did a CT of it and are waiting for the report back from the veterinary radiologist.

It's either an arthritic thing that can be managed with meds until it quiets down, or, oh God, it could be bone cancer.

If it is, Skip said he wouldn't operate because it wouldn't make any difference on how much time we would have.

I KNOW that I know that I know that prayer changes things.

I know that I know that I know that my Jesus loves these little dogs and He loves us.

I'm asking for your prayers.

Dale and I also wanted to thank you for the prayers for our Chipper. Chipper is doing absolutely fine now. He was diagnosed with Vestibular Disease (Vertigo) and he is 100% back to normal now. Robin

Dear Robin,

I have a challenge and a pledge for the mighty warriors of Small Paws.

During the entire month of March, I will be hosting an online Bichon Bash to raise money for Small Paws on my blog at www.PetCareBev.com.

Tyler's Bichon Bash for Small Paws Rescue!

THE CHALLENGE: During the month of March, I challenge everyone out there to send me their own Small Paws story, or to send me a photo of their Small Paws pooch.

MY PLEDGE: For every story or photo that I am able to publish on my blog, I will donate $5 to Small Paws. There are 31 days in March. I could easily publish 31 stories--but that would only be a measly $155. I want to publish 2 or 3 stories a day, and lots of photos! C'mon you guys! Send me lots of stories and photos and force me to eat mac and cheese next month so that I can pay off my pledge!

So to recap, I'm spending March blogging about Small Paws; highlighting Small Paws pooches waiting for adoption on PetFinder; and (with everyone’s help) sharing stories and photos from Small Paws members to showcase why we all love and support Small Paws Rescue (and sending $5 to Small Paws for every story/photo I use).

Stories and/or photos should be sent to BeverlyVanZant@gmail.com. I will preserve the privacy of everyone participating.

With your help, I’m looking forward to writing a big check to Small Paws at the end of the month.

All my best,

Bev>

I'm getting ready to go pick up my boy and drive back to Tulsa. I may not be online until tomorrow.

Please pray for our Spunk the Monkey Man and for Dale and I. His Daddy loves that little guy so much and you all already know I am completely gone on him. All My Love, Robin

One small favor, could our pray warriors keep my beautiful daughter in your prayers. She suffered another stroke two weeks ago and it happen to hit in the worse possible place and that's the bottom of the brain tells each thing to do something. She has a long road a head of her. Again, with blessings

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.
