Gem of the Day: "May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

~Irish Blessing~

Dolly has bladder stones, kidney stones, and some teeth that need to be pulled.
Triple threat and she is in pain.

Her former owner said:

"she still has gotten more bladder stones, as well as kidney stones.
I cannot afford the surgery, and the vet says it will be better for her if she had it done before she has symptoms, such as blood in the urine. Dolly is about 4 and a half now, My dad has died, my husband has stage 4 breast cancer, and I don't have the emotional or physical energy to care for her anymore. I'd like to find a home for her where the people enjoy her and can get her the treatment she needs. If I can't find a home for her I will need to put her down when she starts showing symptoms."

Dr. Laura Castel, got this estimate for us.

" The estimate I am getting from my vet which gives the best discounts is between $848.51 and $902.11.

This includes all pre-op work-up including x-rays, stone removal of bladder and kidney, and a dental cleaning.

Maureen ( Dolly's foster Mom) mentioned the other night that Dolly was starting to show signs of pain.

We have the following matching donation challenges for little Dolly.

I'd like to schedule her surgery as soon as possible.

This is what bladder stones look like, depending on which kind of stones they are.

First, from our friend in Southern California, we have this challenge from Sue Hodges. Thank you again, Sue!

Robin

I want to issue a $100 challenge for Dolly. The number has got to be in the hundreds the Bichons you have rescued from dire physical suffering, not to mention the thousands that present themselves in their normal unkempt condition requiring a total shave down. I don't know how you do it. The mental and monetary needs are always there, and Robin and her volunteers pop up again. Thank God we have you. Couldn't do it without you. Don't be thinking about going anywhere. You have been called by The Man. We need you. Thank you very much and the many Bichons you rescue like Dolly also thank you.

Jim Jorgensen>

And from the Villagessss, Florida's Friendliest Home Town, we have a challenge for $50.00 from Lynne McGibney at lmcgib@comcast.net for $50.00. Thank you Lynne!

Thank you all for helping this little girl! All My Love, Robin

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.
