Gem of the Day: "Memory is a way of
holding on to the things
you love, the things
you are, the things
you never want to
lose."

Happy New Year to our Jewish Small Pawsers!!
Well, the temperatures
have cooled down here
in Oklahoma as we
head into yet another autumn.
This will be the
14th Autumn of Small Paws
Rescue.
Some of you have been with us since the beginning!
We want to invite
all Bichon lovers
to our
2012 Okie Bichon
Bash to be held in
Tulsa,
Oklahoma on October
26-27, in just a
little
over 5 weeks.
This is the invitation and of course you
are welcome to share it!
2012 Okie Bash Invitation
We would love to see you and your Bichons
or honorary Bichons!
It's a wonderful lodge with cabins where
we stay, and you and your dogs are welcome!
This is a little
taste of what it's like
to come to one of
the Oklahoma Bichon Bashes!
2011 Oklahoma Bichon
Bash Pictures and Videos
It's that time of year again when I come
to you and ask for pictures that I may share
on slide presentations at the Bash.
These are three slide presentations that
we showed last year in 2011.
Click here to play the video named "Let's
Get Physical!"
(You will see a page
that says "Navigation
to the page was cancelled",
but just
wait. The movie will
pop up!)
Click here to see
the video called
"Pretty Amazing Grace" for high speed.
Click here to see the video presentation
of the 2011 Small Paws Dog of the Year!
So that was last year and I'm praying for
inspiration for this year. Ha!
We need pictures to be e-mailed to us of
Bichons! Pictures of Bichons with their owners!
Pictures of Bichons experiencing love and
joy!
The pictures can
be funny or sentimental,
anything that evokes
emotion.
The Bichons in the
pictures don't have
to
have been rescued
Bichons or adopted
from
Small Paws.
Speaking of Small Paws, I'll be getting out
a newsletter soon telling about some of our
needs.
We have a little guy here in Tulsa, who we
named Michael Phelps, as he came in during
the Olympics. We call him "Mikey".
Mickey has a juvenile cataract in one eye
that must be removed.
I'll tell you about him soon, as well as
other surgeries that we have coming up.
Thank you in advance for sending me your
pictures! Please send them to pup3@aol.com.
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.
