URGENT MEDICAL EMERGENCY
January 27, 2006

With everything else we have going on, we just got word that THREE more heart murmur babies are on their way into Small Paws from a commercial kennel in MO. We have enough to take care of ONE surgery...not three.

Meet babies Polly, Wally, and Doodle.


This is one of the little males, named Wally. You can see how sick he is.

One of the other males, Doodle, and a precious female, Polly. Get it? Polly, Wally Doodle?? (No tomato throwing)
They did not move to try to get out of the crate.

Their chests are rattling like a washing machine. They have Grade 6 murmurs...the worst they could be.

This is from Dr. Russell, our Small Paws vet in Tulsa, Oklahoma

I checked over the 3 puppies. All have 6/6 murmurs. They weigh 2.5lbs (F), 3.2lbs (M), and 4.2lbs (M w/ pink nose).

The surgery to repair these murmurs runs right at $2000.00 each at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

We have done this life saving surgery 31 times before.

Last November we got in four puppies at once with heart murmurs. We were rushing them to A&M when one of them died in our arms.

We need to get these three kidlets down there and fast...but we can't do it without your financial help. Can you help us to help the three heart murmur babies that are on their way into rescue from Mo.?

UPDATE Saturday Night 8: 15 P.M.
Our rescue caravan (Dave, Lindsey, Perry, Terri, John, Patty and Bob) worked hard today moving the babies from Tulsa, Oklahoma, down through Dallas, to near Houston, and on to Texas A&M in College Station Tx.

All of the babies have been confirmed to have grade 6 murmurs. Wally is in the worst shape of any of the three. He is very lethargic. I had to hold his widdle head up, last night.

Right now they are going to let them rest tomorrow, and begin the surgeries on Monday...that is the plan! Please keep the dogtors and the babies in your prayers!

UPDATE Jan 31, 2006 9:00 P.M.
Doodles had surgery this morning and he is doing just GREAT!
Tomorrow they are going to do surgery on Polly, and they are going to attempt to coil Wally. Please remember them in your prayers!

Can you turn on your heart light once more for little Buttons? Her surgery will run right at $2000.00 in order to save her life.

Turn on Your Heartlight
By Neil Diamond

Come back again
I want you to stay next time
Cause sometimes the world ain't kind
When people get lost like you and me

I just made a friend
A friend is someone you need
But now that he has to go away
I still feel the words that he might say

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me

He's lookin' for a home
Cause everyone needs a place
A home's the most excellent place of all
And I'll be right here if you should call me

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me

Turn on your heartlight now
Turn on your heartlight now
