Gem of the Day: "Youth is when you're allowed to stay
up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is
when you're forced to."

Baby "Charmer" is 12 weeks old
and had surgery Yesterday to repair his broken
front leg. He still needs to have normal vetting of
neutering, vaccinations, and quarantine.
Thank goodness he is heartworm negative.
One year old Sebastian was hit by a car and
has his right eye removed yesterday. He has
an elevated liver count and we are doing
some testing to see what's going on there.

Dear Small Pawsers,
Small Paws Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of
you who may have
recently seen us on December
20, 2013, on Fox and Friends in New York City ,
or on
Animal Planet on "Dogs 101.", or you may have read about us in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness,
101 Stories about Finding Your Purpose,
Passion and Joy . You also may have seen us on "Inside Edition" with Deborah Norville!
If you missed our previous newsletter, here it is.
Baby Charmer's surgery went well to repair
his broken front
leg.
Little Sebastian's surgery to remove his
right eye was a little more complicated.
He has some pretty
sever head trauma, so
please remember him
in your prayers. I wouldn't
say he is out of
the woods, just yet.
And so far, so good, with the remaining nine
puppies that little Libby delivered last
Saturday night.
We have a matching
donation challenge for
$1000.00 from Lori
and Andy Foster, our Team
Leaders to TN. Lori
and Andy are charter
members of SPR, since
1998.
We love and appreciate
them so very much.
This challenge may
be met in whole or
in
part. Thank you Andy
and Lori!

Louie and Robin,
Our Boudreaux, Shelby
and Lily shih tzu
have
been eating cheerios
instead of dog treats
all year so that
they could send in
a donation
of $1,000.00 and
a challenge to all
those
who have volunteered,
fostered or adopted
a bichon from Small
Paws Rescue to send
in
a donation to help
these needy bichons.
No
amount is too small
(or too large) as
it
will all help these
bichons who seem
to continue
to fall from the
skies even though
it is
the holidays.
This donation is
also in memory of
my sister/brother-in-law's
Scottish Terrier,
Sir Bentley, who
recently
died of cancer. He
was their dog child
and
they miss him terribly.
I'd also like to remember Robin and Dale's
bichon, Chipper, who is the reason why Small Paws Rescue
came to be. I was with Chipper through the
years and he was such a special bichon to
all who met him and will be solely missed.
Thank you,
Lori and Andy Foster
SPR TN Team Leader>
And from our friend in Southern California,
Sue Hodges, we have this challenge for $100.00.
Thank you again, Sue!

>When these folks applied to adopt, and
we asked how their Bichon was killed by a
car, this was their response. We hear this
on an average of once a week.
(These are NOT Bichons
adopted from Small
Paws.)
PLEASE don't take
a chance with the
life
of your Bichon!
We do not adopt to
people who allow
their
dogs to run loose.

Subject: Re: Small
Paws Rescue
We had him for the last five years, He is
very obedient normally when we say "stay"
he will stop wherever he is, so some times
we are used to play with him in the yard
for he loves to run around the yard in circles,
during that time we did not put him on the
leash, this particular day he was not on
leash and did not yield to the command when
he saw some dog across the road. It took
off so suddenly the on coming driver did
not have time to stop the car. That is how
it happened.>

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.
