Dear Small Pawsers,

Our staff is still on Holiday vacation so this is not a normal newsletter, but this is most urgent.

We have a missing Small Paws Rescue Puppy Mill Bichon in or near Warren, Ohio.

LOST! Small Paws Rescue Bichon!
LOST- Friday, Dec. 26th
Near Marquis Drive in Warren, Ohio

**** $500.00 Reward ****
(For info leading to his safe return)

-Call-
330-719-7393 / 330-824-3153
or
216-789-9315 / Day or Night !!!!!!

If anyone has any information, please let us know. You have permission to cross post.

Also, please keep your dog's collars on them with their identification tags. Sadly, we have learned that Tommy was wearing no identification tags at his foster home. :( He has now been missing over 48 hours. We would have notified you all earlier, but were only notified ourselves, today. We are praying that someone has him, but he is very afraid of people and he will run.

We also have received some very sad information about Alex, the Bichon who got a home in time for the Holidays.

It is with a breaking heart that I am writing this email to all of you. Our sweet little Alex went to the Bridge this afternoon. He stopped eating a day or two ago. I tried everything I could think of to get him to eat. I even made him Cream of Wheat. That's what my mother made for me when I didn't feel good. Today he even refused to drink water. I knew then that it wouldn't be much longer. He was not alone. I was with him, talking to him.

Even though he was only with us a short time, he was well loved and cared for by both of us. When he came, I promised him that he would never be left behind again. And he never was. I do not regret bringing Alex into our hearts. He was worth every minute we got to spend with him. Pat says he hopes that someone will take him across the bridge before we get there. But I think he will wait for us.

I have to go now.

Love,
Pat, Ruth, Sydney, Cheyenne, and Alex at the Bridge>

I am praying for good news and that Tommy will be found alive soon. Please pray with us for his safe return! Love, Robin
