Gem of the Day: "Faith is knowing one of two things will happen..
When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly." ~Barbara J. Winter ~


National Team Leader, Joanne Raus, cares for Spunky Monkey at a recent Oklahoma bash. He knows her as "Aunt Joanne."

Thank you all for praying for our baby, Spunky the Monkey Pressnall. At 5:05 PM tonight the report came back from the radiologist and he does NOT have ANY cancer ANYWHERE. Thank you God!

He has a small bulge of the disc between C 2-3 in his neck, but Skip doesn't want to mess with it surgically. He wants to try anti inflammatory first and see if we can manage it that way. Thank you for praying. I believe God hears out prayers and sometimes changes the course of history. I am so thankful to Him and to all of you who have lifted us up during this roller coaster of the past 48 hours.
Spunky is in the ERR next door to Dr. Skips tonight. He is ok! He just wasn't waking up from all of the drugs he had today like wanted so he is there being stared at tonight. More below. Thank you all again!

Dear Small Pawsers,

Welcome to our newest members of our Small Paws® Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who have seen us on Fox and Friends in New York City, or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101."

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

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

Cherish every moment with them. You just never know when something unexpected can happen and things can change.

This happened twice in the last 48 hours for each of our two Bichons.

When I see a situation where I know I have no control over the outcome, whether it by my dogs or my family or Small Paws, it could be anything, the one constant I know is to stop the world, get off, and talk to Him. Ask God to change the course of history and if He sees fit not to do that, ask Him to help you through whatever is coming.

They told me to come and take the Monkey Man home today, so I went to pick him up.

Dogs frequently are vocal when coming out of anesthesia.

But as we drove off and got a couple of miles away from Dr. Skips, he became REALLY vocal and was screaming in his sleep with each breath.

I called and asked them if this was normal and of course they heard him. I'm sure that truckers could hear him.

They said to come back so I did. Skip came back up and said he thought he ought to stay the night in the ER next door. (Spunky, not Dr. Skip) just to make sure he got all of the drugs they used out of his system.

He had morphine and he may have had a reaction to that.

If we are ever together and I'm hit by a bus, don't let them give me morphine. It hates me and I'm even less fond of it.

Spunky probably gets this from me.

Finally, tonight the ER just told me he is sitting up and looking around, though still quite drunk, so I will take him home in the morning after he "sleeps it off.".

I can't thank you all enough for praying for us today.

I have a box full of e-mail but I wanted to let you know that there is no bone cancer and the bulging disk is a small one that Dr. Skip thinks can be managed with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Dale and I are very thankful tonight!

By the way, Rocky 2 is having surgery for that bladder stone tomorrow and we found a vet with a price of 600.00 instead of $1500,00 so that is an answer to prayer as well.

Ok, I didn't sleep much last night. He'd move and scream and I'd bounce up like a jack in the box.

You ALL know that dance. They yelp. We jump. And are happy to do it.

I think I'm going to try to get some sleep now.

Again, thank you all so much for loving us and for keeping us in your prayers.

I am blessed to know all of you. All My Love, Robin

Subject: FOR THE NEWSLETTER: The online Bichon Bash starts March 1!

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>

"Trust, a Deadly Disease"
A MUST read, sent in by our Team Leader
to the Carolinas, Kathryn Smith
~By Sharon Mathers. Published 1988 in Canine Concepts
and Community Animal Control Magazine.~

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.
