Prayer Requests and Reports
Subject: update on an adopted fluff from
last year, prayers needed
Date: 3/8/2013 8:15:58
A.M. Central Standard

From: lisaallie@gmail.com
Hi Robin,
I have met you a
few times at the
Bichon
Bash in Valparaiso,
IN ( I am the volunteer
who has the Westie
who wants to be a
Bichon!).
Last summer, I took
a fluff named Delaney
to foster who was
rescued by Sara Pace.
She
is three years old
and one of the sweetest
fluffs I have had.
She ended up getting
adopted
by friends of ours
who fell in love
with
her at one of our
parties. They already
had
a 10 year old Bichon
and thought she needed
a sister. This dog
has been pampered
and
is in every picture
that I have seen
of Les
and Nancy. She is
treated, like her
sister,
as their precious
child.
Delaney (who is now
Aly) has been with
Nancy
and Les for about
seven months. Last
week,
Aly became very ill.
She was rushed to
the
vet who diagnosed
her with an infection.
Her health became
better and then a
few days
ago turned worse.
They took Aly to
another
vet who felt based
on her labs may have
lymphoma.
They performed surgery
to biopsy her intestine
and liver. Aly has
not recovered well,
and
she needs many prayers
to survive.
They are waiting
for the blood tests
to definitively
diagnose what is
making her ill. But
at this
point, she needs
to survive the recovery.
I texted Sara last
night and am keeping
her
informed. Even though
it has been months
since I fostered
Aly, my heart is
breaking,
she is much too young
to be so ill. Les
and
Nancy have spent
whatever cost to
help Aly
recover. It is now
a waiting game.
Your thoughts and
prayers can only
help her
now.
Lisa>
And Diane Piskur's (enaid713@yahoo.com) precious
Bichon Lily is very ill. They have requested
prayers. She had lung cancer and had one
lung removed, but it has metastasized. Please
pray for them. Lily is their baby.
(Always remember. God loves you more than
anyone else ever has,
and more than anyone
else ever will!)

You Would Know."
Will God let us have our beloved pet's in
heaven?

>When these folks applied to adopt, and
we asked how their Bichon was killed by a
car, this was their response. We hear this
on an average of once a week.
(These are NOT Bichons
adopted from Small
Paws.)
PLEASE don't take
a chance with the
life
of your Bichon!
We do not adopt to
people who allow
their
dogs to run loose.

Subject: Re: Small
Paws Rescue
We had him for the last five years, He is
very obedient normally when we say "stay"
he will stop wherever he is, so some times
we are used to play with him in the yard
for he loves to run around the yard in circles,
during that time we did not put him on the
leash, this particular day he was not on
leash and did not yield to the command when
he saw some dog across the road. It took
off so suddenly the on coming driver did
not have time to stop the car. That is how
it happened.>
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.
