Robin, I am giving a donation in memory of my mother and Howard's mother in honor of Mother's Day. I challenge others whose Mom's are no longer with them to do the same. If your Mom is still with you, you might honor her with a donation in her name. Our Mom's both loved animals and I know they'd be pleased to help our furbabies in need.

Tia, my puppy mill baby, discovered toys last week, and is enjoying playing tug-of-war with her new doggie-sister, Sachi. She feels badly about the 5 puppy mill fluffs being evicted before they ever have a chance to discover the fun of toys and would like to issue a $25 challenge for each fluff for $125.

Thanks to all for helping these homeless babies,
Shelley, Sachi, Tia, and Benedict (the bunny) >

Ok, those are our matching challenges.

If anyone can match one of them, the issuer will make a donation in that amount.

These little ones need our help. They are overwhelmed and in shock, I think.

Imagine how you would feel losing everything and everyone you knew and loved.

That's how they feel and it's too awful to even contemplate.

All My Love, Robin

I am scheduled to start chemo for my follicular lymphoma May 12. I see the surgeon this morning to find out about getting a port. I would greatly appreciate your prayers that I will be able to take this chemo and that it will do what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately this chemo will not fight the thyroid cancer. >

Hi Robin, Bonnie and Team,
I have a couple prayer requests. Debbie Perrotti, (with permission) a IL volunteer was diagnosed with Leukemia. She has been doing chemotherapy (oral medication). The prognosis is good and we are hoping for remission. She is a wonderful woman and great asset to SPR. She is currently fostering Coco. The Perrotti's fostered and adopted Dolly, who passed last year. I spoke to her the other day and her white count is better. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Becky Rednour, another amazing woman and volunteer is in the midst of flooding. She is in Cairo, IL where they are evacuating everyone. Becky is Sally's foster mommy and adopted Sugarman last year. They are trying to stay in their home and have moved everything to the upper levels. If the levy breaks and it floods they could loose everything.

I am also sending this to them and the team, so if they need anything, they know, all they have to do is email or call.

All my love to you both (Becky/Jerry and Debbie/Jimmy!

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.
