Annie was spotted no less than 15 times yesterday
and I myself saw her at least 5 times. Thank
you God.
She is still staying on White Marsh Lane
which is just exactly what we want her to
do.
The extra large trapping cage will be arriving
today and the husbands from five of the homes
on this street will be helping me to assemble
and bait it, for tonight!
Last night, as I spoke to neighbors who had
gathered out in the street while I was filling
them in on the latest efforts, they invited
me into one of their homes.
We had 10 neighbors and myself, in a beautiful
Florida home with screened in back den with
a pool in it, as part of their house.
They were all drinking pina coladas while
I told them the story of Annie, why she won't
go to anyone, all about puppy mills, and
about the rescue efforts of all of you, and
of Small Paws Rescue.
Soon the mood changed from party mode to
one of love and concern. I learned that the
owners of this home, Don and Belinda, started
the first Humane Society in the Chicago area
that used only foster homes, as opposed to
a facility/building, rather like SPR does.
They had a picture that was done in pastels
of one of their beloved dogs, up on the wall.
She was a white beeshey-poo, and her eyes
looked lovingly back at me from deep within
the painting.
Last night, 10 more people made a commitment
to help us to save this precious life, that
is on borrowed time as it is.
As I walked out to my car, Don came out
with me and told me that this is the best
thing to hit this neighborhood in three years.
People are coming together for a common cause
and to save the life of one of God's precious
creatures, who has been damaged by one of
our own species, a puppy miller.
They listened quietly, as I told them about
the God thing that is Small Paws Rescue.
We are going to set some of their trash cans
around the trap cage, tonight, and put some
trash in it, along with our bait.
Annie loves to go through the trash of the
people who live on on this street. She got
INTO a trash can last night and was sticking
her little head up out of it. We thought
she might be stuck but as one of he homeowners
approached her, oh noooooooooo, she is not
stuck. She has done this before! She can
levitate herself into thin air and take off
at a dead run, much like a cartoon character
of old.
Did I tell you she has been clocked running
18 miles an hour? Please pray that tonight
or early in the morning is the night that
she comes for a trashy last meal, on the
run!
Ok, we have another emergency that's also
happening here in Florida. It concerns this
little boy who is being fostered by Vickie
Ingles. Emergency surgery is going to be
needed and judging from what this has run
in the past in this area, we are going to
be looking at it costing about $2000.00 to
save this wee one's life.
I'm not even going to ask if this is what
you want us to do. I know it is. BUT, after
we got down to $2300.00 left in our account
after paying our bills on Monday night, we
need your help to save this boy. What do
you think? Is he worth it? :)
If we want to try to save this guy with an
emergency surgery this morning, we are going
to need to raise some funds for him. Him
is one sick widdle white doggie.
Subj: Bounder Small Paws
Date: 3/29/2007 12:02:48 AM Central Daylight
Time
From: vette99@tampabay.rr.com

Bounder Small Paws is 5 pounds underweight.
Attached you will see photo's of the latest
guy with the last name of Small Paws. This
guy was rescued from the Hillsborough County
Shelter. He was an owner turn in because
they couldn't afford to take care of him.
He is so sweet even in the pain he is in.
We knew he had a bladder stone that needed
to be removed and my vet preferred that he
gain some weight before surgery as he is
5 lbs under weight. His estimated age is
between 8 and 10. He was scheduled for surgery
April 3 but today he started crashing before
our eyes. I won't get graphic but the stuff
coming out of his mouth was awful. He has
not gained any weight in fact he has lost
a 1/2 lb. He became lethargic and couldn't
keep any food down and even turned down a
turkey meat treat. By the 4th vomiting he
was in bad shape. I rushed him to the Emergency
Clinic and they are keeping him over night
to rehydrate him but the Dr. there says he
must have surgery tomorrow. She believes
from the blood work and x-rays that he has
an intestinal blockage or obstruction and
another stone in the urethra(small one).
So far tonight (it's almost one in the morning)
his charges are $495.00 but that does not
include staying the night and one additional
x- ray. I will have an estimate tomorrow
on the surgery. I will pick him up at 7:00
am to take him to my vet and see if they
can do the surgery there. Small Paws gets
a 20% discount across the board there. I
will stay in touch. My cell number is 727-457-7611.
Say a prayer for this sweet boy!!
Vickie
Ps. When I picked up this boy he was so matted
around the face you couldn't see his eyes,
his nails were curled under, and he has been
chewing his legs because of the pain he is
in. My vet said he has had the bladder stone
for sometime due to the fact the bladder
walls are thickened. He was and is in very
bad shape.>

"Trouble In Paradise"
The second Book in the Cassie Grimes Mystery
Series with a special acknowledgement
to
Small Paws Rescue!
In the book, under "Author's Notes
&
Acknowledgements", this paragraph
appears:
A special thanks to Small Paws Rescue
for
their tireless devotion to rescuing
Bichons
from the most unspeakable circumstances.
Robin Pressnall and her army of foster
parents,
volunteers and supporters are amazingly
generous
with their time and money on behalf
of some
of the most loving and trusting creatures
on earth. They are the embodiment of
the
idea of "walking the walk."
Her business is in a lull, her husband’s
lost his job and her best friend is so depressed
she’s talking about suicide. Cassie Grimes
is sure that things can only get better as
she loads her dogs in the car and heads for
Florida to work things out.
Fat chance. Nothing’s ever that simple
for
this dog-loving woman who seems to
be a crap
magnet. Shortly after arriving at the
condo
she’ll soon be forced to sell in the
name
of solvency, her wealthy best friend
is arrested
for the disappearance of her much older
husband.
What’s a woman to do? Jump into the
middle
of things, naturally. With the help
of her
Bichons, Maggie and A.J., her disgruntled
hubby and a couple of gun-toting geriatric
party girls, Cassie can’t resist being
an
amateur detective. She’s not making
any friends
in the local police department because
she
keeps turning up in the middle of crime
scenes.
While trying to help her trophy-wife
friend,
Cassie uncovers a web of fraud, murder
and
extortion that have the bad guys trying
to
beat her up or blow her up or just
plain
shoot her. It gets so bad that Gene
even
suggests she hire her former boyfriend
as
extra security. Yikes.
What Cassie goes through in the name
of friendship
will keep you on the edge of your seat.
That
is, of course, if you don’t fall off
it while
laughing out loud. Once again, Pearson
proves
that everyday life can be not only
exciting,
but hilarious.
Of course, they are signed from Maggie
and
A.J. to the buyer's pooch, so please
put
your fluff's name(s) in the Comments
section
of the order form!

Your photo.
Your picture turned into a pattern for you
to cross stitch!
(Betsy Bunny, Annie (an SPR doggie), Ding-Ding
and their Mom Debra have given me permission
to use their picture.)
Do you or someone you know like to
cross
stitch? If so,this item might
be just the thing for you. Have your
favorite
photos converted into a
pattern that you can cross stitch.

cat, child or anything you have a picture
of that you would like to
cross stitch. You can support Small
Paws
Rescue and have fun at the
same time. 100% of the proceeds will
go to
SPR.
>
This would make a great gift for someone
you know that likes to cross
stitch. You can buy the pattern or
the pattern
and the floss and give
it to them as a gift, or you can stitch
it
yourself first then give it
as a gift. When you are done, it can
be framed
or made into a pillow.
You will get a computer generated cross
stitch
pattern (not a kit). All
patterns are printed out for 16 count,
but
can be done in any size you
wish. The design is coded for DMC floss
and
will come on several
sheets of paper. All patterns are done
in
whole cross stitches.
Included with the pattern is an easy
to read
symbol key guide and a
color picture of your item. The pattern
is
printed in black and white
on a laser printer.
Betsy Bunny, Annie (an SPR doggie),
Ding-Ding
and their Mom Debra have given me permission
to use their picture. Above is the
digital
picture of them and then how it will
look
after it is stitched. This pattern
uses 50
colors and the finished size using
16 count
canvas is 8 inches tall by
12 inches wide.
Remember 100% of the sale will go to
Small
Paws Rescue!
This can be yours for $15.99 includes
shipping.

Hi Robin,
I've created a new section in our CafePress
shop - The logo is different, lighter,
and
might appeal to more of our members.
You might want to mention it in the
next
newsletter you do - people getting
ready
for Summer events might enjoy some

wear.
Also, Buckwheat and Tina are featured

Mike just finished his next to the last chemo
- is very tired but not the
kind of total exhaustion he had a month ago.
Not much in the way of side
effects - thank heavens. The new oncologist
has been very open with us and
we understand Mike has about a 5 - 10% chance
of 'making it'. We intend
and have been living as if he's going to
make and are keeping a positive
spin on things.
Please keep him in your prayers.

Dear Robin
I just wanted to let you know that I wanted
to thank everybody for their prayers for
my mother. She had surgery last Thursday
to remove the mass that was growing behind
her right eye. Unfortunately, the mass was
larger than expected and right now momma
is only seeing shadows and some colors. She
can tell her bichons are close to her also.
We still do not know if she will regain any
more site but hopefully she well. Thank everybody
for praying for momma and hopefully she will
regain more sight.

Dear Robin,
I am asking for prayers from the Small Paws
network for my friends John
and Vivian McCullough. At midnight last night
they lost their beloved 10
year old Irish Setter, Shannon. Shannon had
several health issues which
eventually took her life. She was the love
of their lives and the whole
family is just traumatized by the loss. She
will be missed by all of us who
loved her.

P.S. Below is a list of everything we have
done in our previous attempts to capture
Annie, our lost puppy mill rescue down in
Florida.
Again, please don't send jokes, or stories
to me as we really need to keep my email
account open for rescue emergencies. I'm
still getting hundreds of emails a day that
Bonnie is having to sift through, trying
to determine what is about rescue and what
is a joke or story. This makes it hard for
her to check my email. Thanks for your understanding!

to get Annie since Feb 26, 2007)
