Dear Small Pawsers,
Welcome to our newest members of our Small Paws® Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of
you who have seen us on Fox and Friends in New York City, or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101."
Welcome! We hope
you enjoy reading
about
the Bichons and the
people who love them!
If you missed our last newsletter, here it
is
Baby Murphy came home after having his PDA
repaired and he is doing just wonderfully,
thanks to so many of you. Murphy is fine.
But after that, things just started to head
south for several others, if you get my drift.
I know it's the end of the month. I know
it's soon to be a Monday morning.
But there are times
when it seems that
things
are just insurmountable.
This past Holiday
weekend was one of them.
I knew that so many of you were traveling
to visit friends and relatives for the Thanksgiving
Holiday. We could tell that so many of you
were away by how many "Away on Vacation"
replies we were getting.
We started out LAST Monday night, after paying
our vet bills, with only $885 .00 left over.
It's costing us an average of $1308.00 a
DAY to keep going and keep providing medical
care to the sickest of the sick and to the
most injured. Then there's the regular vetting
that also is needed.
See Vet Bills Paid by Small Paws® Rescue
in
November of 2010
totalling $28, 783.57
This is for the first
22 days of November,
which is an average
of $1,308.34 per
day.
Now I know the auction funds will be coming
but it won't be for about another 3-4 weeks
before we will see those funds, and we need
help now.
If it could happen, it did happen. No one
died and no one is lost, thank God, but from
there it sort of just went down hill.
"Dolly" in Ohio with Sharon King,
had to go to the emergency room on Thanksgiving
day for a really severe bladder infection,
(She was laying down in the back yard and
wouldn't get up) and that costs us $586.00.
Then a three year old Bichon named Chester,
here in Tulsa, has a retinae that is about
to detach and he will lose his eye if we
don't do a $1900.00 surgery right away.
And one of our foster dogs, "Dancer"
who is being fostered with Joe Ceniccola
in CT., has a hole in her cheek and SHE also
needs surgery, but we don't know when or
how much yet. We will know more about her
in a day or so. She is being kept on pain
management until then.
Max, in Florida needed bladder stone surgery
as he was urinating blood,
though we did not
raise enough funds
for
him.
So, we had to do a bladder stone repair on
Max in Florida, which could not wait. $900.00.
(Thank you Vicki Inglee for getting that
taken care of so he would stop urinating
blood.)
This is more about Joe's foster dog, Dancer,
in CT.:

NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH. This was at Dr. Osorio's
office Sat. I went there and the Dr. found
a hole in her cheek a quarter inch deep.
We need to do x-rays to find out why she
is bleeding through her cheek. I will let
you know how much it will be. She will need
surgery. Sorry for the gross pics. Joe C
p.s. you can see
the hole in the middle
of
her cheek>
As soon as we know what he vet wants to do,
how much it will cost and when it will be
we will let you know, I promise.
And then we have little Chester, who is only
three years old, and he has a juvenile cataracts.
This is Chester, and what Kem Mahr, his foster
mom, says. The surgery is supposed to happen
tomorrow and this vet doesn't bill us. He
expects a check to be written right then.

Robin –
Here is a photo of Chester. Dr. Gwin checked
his eyes and found a mature cataract in the
right eye and an immature cataract in the
left eye. His recommendation is to leave
the left eye alone for now because it may
take months to years for that one to develop
fully. But he recommends immediate surgery
on the right eye since these little Bichons
are prone to retinal detachment. His estimate
for the surgery (Including a nice discount)
is $1,900. This includes the surgery and
3 months of post-op visits. I went ahead
and scheduled him for surgery in Oklahoma
City on Tuesday, 11/30 with a follow-up in
Tulsa the next day, 12/1. These appointments
may be cancelled or changed depending on
what you advise. At this point, I’m planning
to take him to OKC and will keep him at my
house
Kem Maher>
Now if won't kill him if he loses that eye,
but he is only three years old and he has
juvi cataracts.
At least if we repair
this, he will be
PLACEABLE.
It will be great for him to be able to use
the eye to see but the main thing is to be
able to get him placed into a home. With
this condition hanging over him, he could
well be with us until he's old enough to
drive.
The eye dogtor wanted $5000.00 to do this
same surgery on him up in IL.
We flew him down
here to Tulsa (Chester,
not the eye dogtor)
and can get this
same
surgery for $1900.00,
which is more than
50% less than the
other estimate.
If we don't do it, his retinae could detach
and then we will have problems.
So we are going to start raising funds for
the one who needs the surgery the soonest
which is Chester.
We have the following matching donation challenge
for him to start. And please pray nothing
that nothing else happens until we get these
Bichons named above, funded!
Aloha from Hawaii where I'd like to be right
about now, how about you, thank you very
much!
We have this challenge from Suzie at suzieosman@me.com
for $100.00 towards Chester's eye surgery.
If we can't raise these funds by tomorrow
we will need to cancel his appt. and his
eye is very unstable right now.
"Aloha Robin, Susan Sebring said to
forward this challenge to you.
This was the first
time I emailed instead
of calling, didn't
know I should have cc
you..oops. Fuzzybear who is 15 1/2 and has cataracts
told me to issue this challenge for the eye
surgery for Chester."
Folks, I have seen
the stack of vet bills
waiting to be paid
later on tonight.
I will issue any challenges that come in.
I'm waving the white flag here. HELP IS NEEDED.
I keep thinking about the little girl in
the video on the Gem of the Day, above. "STAY
CALM DAD!" At least everyone at my house
is breathing. Now I AM in my jammies and
if an ambulance comes they will just have
to get an eye full. All My Love, Robin

Barbie Von Netzer's Sister in Law, Marti,
lives in Luckenbach, Texas. Yes, the one
from the song. Marti's darling little Bichon,
whom I have met, Lacey, escaped somehow from
their fenced yard, at noon on Thanksgiving
with people right there watching. They looked
up and saw their shih-tzu out in the back
pasture with the lambs, where she is not
supposed to be, so they knew the dogs found
or made a hole somewhere in the fence. Lacey
hasn't been seen since. They have been doing
everything possible but Marti, her Mom is
a wreck and Barbe, her aunt is a wreck as
well. Please pray. This is in the middle
of a 700 acre ranch. If you are near there
and would like to help Marti, the owner of
Lacey, with the search, please contact Barbe
Von Netzer at forest0000@aol.com.

Robin, my client
Sidney has had a
massive
stroke last night,
and I'd like to put
him
on the SPR prayer
list, please. He
needs
prayers of healing,
whether it's to be
here
and be able to function
or to go home to
God. Thanks, Rob.

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

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.
