Well, it finally happened.

Someone abandoned their dogs in a shopping cart, in the hot sun, in a Walmart parking lot near Phoenix AZ.

This is their story. These precious little ones need our help. The little girl has a nasty abscess in her mouth which needs attention as soon as possible.

As usually, we told them that their parents were kidnapped by aliens and that's the only reason they were left alone. (I figure there's no reason for them to know the truth because it's too terrible.)

This is from our AZ Team Leader, Derek Phelps.

Hi Robin:

I have attached a photo of Samson and Delilah, approximately 3 yrs. old
each.

The Bonded pair of Pups that we took in this past week here in
Phoenix, AZ.. (Editor's Note: The Vet said they "freaked out" when one was taken from the sight of the other. They are definitely bonded.)

They were found abandoned in a shopping cart in the middle of a
WalMart parking lot out in the hot sun, scared and dehydrated.
A good Samaritan that found them called me. They are now safe and part of our Small Paws Family.

It is estimated that it will cost around $800.00 for their vet exams,
vaccinations, heart worm testing, grooming, quarantine boarding, and dentals.
Poor little Delilah's' front teeth are "ground down" to almost the gum
line, with a very large abscess that will need attention right away.

I am hoping our Small Paws Warriors can come together to help out Samson and
Delilah.

They are absolutely super sweet and precious and so deserving of
the best life we can provide them with.

We have this matching challenge to get us started for Sampson and Delilah, LIVE from Manhattan, in New York City, from Deborah Berger and Boris, the Celebrity Bichon!

Click here to hear their matching donation challenge for $100.00. Is there anyone out there who can match them?

We're expecting a matching grant from Pepsi, that we thought would have been here by now, and and it will get us up to having about a $1000.00 balance but at least we would be in the black.

It may not be here until the next quarter, so as we wait or it, Samson and Delilah need our help. Especially since their parents have left the planet, suddenly, against their will and all. ((sigh))

If you can help us to help this darling pair, this is how to do that.

Bless their little hearts. Left alone in a basket like Moses.

He ended up doing pretty well and with your help, these guys will too. All My Love, Robin

Hi: I thought I would send a note and ask for prayers for my 8 yr old bichon. She was attacked by a large pit bull yesterday afternoon (Saturday) on our way home from visiting a friend next door. This dog was running loose, it belongs down the street. Before we could get in the house, this dog ran across the street and literally tore into my bichon. After screaming and hitting and kicking the dog as hard as I could, I screamed into its ear and it finally let go of my Peaches. I took her to the vets and she is in the ICU. The doctor told me after surgery, she was waking up and doing well. They had to sew he back together. It was almost torn off, she has large bites on her neck, head and under both of her front legs. She may have damage to a nerve to her right eye. I could not believe the damage this dog has done. In process of talking to its owners. I have a vet bill of $3,000 and depending on any other procedures, might be higher. If my baby will get better, I would pay anything. As anyone else in this economy, financially this will hurt, but we do what we can do for our baby's. Please ask for prayers, to help my Peaches heal both physically and mentally. I have been a donor in the past and appreciate all the wonderful things you are doing for our bichon friends. Thank you. Jane Gardner, Aurora, IL>

Got a rather nasty bout of breast cancer going on since September. They tried to shrink it with a drug called Femara. Started out as a 9 cm tumor in my right breast and it shrunk down to 7 cm. Initially had a partial mastectomy Feb. 11th then had a full mastectomy March 4th. Went for a check up and doc said I had a 2" high swath of skin that had died and needed to be cut away (full width of the breast). So he did that and said I had enough healthy skin to pull over and stitch together. Just got that checked today and got out all my nasty drainage tubes and "grenades" .. that's the worst part. You feel like a robot connected to plugs and cords, etc. LOL Stitches come out in about 10 days.

So with the surgery out of the way, I have to start chemo for 6 months and then radiation for 3 months after that is over. First infusion will be this Monday. I have to go back to work Monday too as they keep making snide remarks like "my time is all used up" etc. We'll see if I get to keep my job in the next month or two.

Oh well ... my spirits are up. Please put me in the Small Paws Prayer Circle. I promise to keep in touch.

Love, Candy>

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.
