Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Tuesday March 29, 2011

Gem of the Day: "Begin somewhere. You cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do. "
~ Liz Smith ~


7 month old "Macy" has a grade SIX out of a possible SIX heart murmur. We have her in Tulsa, OK. now, but we need to get her flown to Columbus, Ohio, as soon as possible. Macy was an owner surrender after having been adopted from a shelter in Southeastern MO.
She had been in a commercial kennel before that.
This isn't our first rodeo. We have done this many times. The still, small, voice inside me is telling me she is already living on borrowed time. Discounted cost to repair her heart murmur will run right at $2000.00 at MedVet in Worthington, Ohio, if we can get her there and raise funds for her.
World renown cardiologist, Dr. Thaibinh Nguyenba, would be doing her surgery.

Folks, I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted to. There's more.


No wonder he hurts. Click here to see a short movie of little Munchkin.
Three year old "Munchkin" has both a torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) AND a Grade 5 out of 5 Luxating Patella. He is in pain. He needs surgery in OKC , where he is being fostered. The surgery would be done by Dr. Skip Tangner at the Veterinary Surgical Center in OKC, as soon as we can raise the funding.
Discounted cost of torn ACL surgery, which is the most crucial of his two surgeries and is the one needing to be done first, is $1087.00.

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is

First, I wanted to let you all know that one of our long time supporters passed away, unexpectedly, last week. Thank you to Sara O Neill for letting us know.

It was Rose Sehr from Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Rose was 80 years old.

Rose and her husband Norman, loved Small Paws. He passed away in 2005.

This is her obituary.

To sign her online guest book, click here, and scroll down to March 22. When you see her name click on it and a pop up window will appear for you to leave a message for the family.

Godspeed, Rose!

Ok, we have a double trouble situation going on.

It's not raining. It's not just just pouring. It's a dadgummed flood.

The waters are rising and these two precious Bichons need to get to dry land and fast. This need is priority one."

One of them is in serious pain, and one has a condition that could kill her.

It's little Munchkin and Baby Macy.

I would like to issue a challenge for $25.00.
Wish I could do more.

Sophie, Julie and myself are managing to get by since my husband, George, passed
on Feb. 19th. Tons of paper work keep me busy all day long.

Some of our friends & family advised me that they have sent in donations

to SPR in George' memory. I know he would want it used t help these little ones.

I am sitting staring at the computer this week, in hopes of raising funds for Munchkin and Macy. One needs a heart and the other one can't walk.

Now, don't we have a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts? (If you don't understand that phrase, it means you are still young and beautiful. Don't ask.) All My Love, Robin

Prayer Reports and Requests

Subject: prayer requests to pass on

Hey Sara,

Have a few prayer requests that I ask that you pass on because I know that there is power in prayer. One is our 7 year old Bichon, Skeeter is going to see any eye specialist on Tuesday in Indianapolis. For some unknown reason he lost his eye sight suddenly in his (L) eye, on Wednesday due to uveitis. We are going to see what else can be done to keep him from losing sight in the other eye plus see what else can be done for him. The second one is our 13 year old Bichon Buddy is going to have surgery Thursday for a cancer lesion on his leg. Any prayers would be appreciated since these little four legged dogs (people) are like our children. I am sure that everyone else that has animals knows exactly what I am talking about.

Thanks for passing this along.

Just thought I would send you this article about the attack on Peaches, my bichon. I guess it pays off to keep digging for the truth. Thanks for all the prayers.>



Munchkin Land Lyrics from The Wizard of Oz

We represent the Lullaby League
The Lullaby League, the Lullaby League.
And in the name of the Lullaby League
We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land

We represent the Lollipop Guild
The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild.
And in the name of the Lollipop Guild
We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land

We welcome you to Munchkin Land
Tra la la la la la la la la la la la

From now on you'll be history
You'll be his
You'll be his
You'll be history

And we will glorify your name
You will be a bust
Be a bust
Be a bust
In the hall of fame!


Hear the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir sing "So You Would Know."

Will God let us have our beloved pet's in heaven?

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.
