No time for a gem today. We have a 1-2 year old female hit by car victim, seen running on the Congress Pkwy which is a major expressway near Chicago. She was bloody, with no collar or tags. (There was also no microchip.) We have named her “Emmie”.
Small Pawsers Tom and Kathy MacPherson were
already at the shelter, picking up an owner
surrender Bichon Mix, (see below for picture)
for Small Paws when a Bichon who had been
hit by a car came in. The shelter’s vet sutured
and wrapped her bleeding shoulder, inserted
a catheter, and sent her on with us to the
ER.
Emmie looked like she really needed an emergency
hospital and soon.
Here she is being rushed to emergency in
Kathy’s arms while her husband Tom, drove.
She is presently receiving emergency care
at the:
Animal Care Center
of Plainfield
14411 S. Rt. 59
Plainfield, IL 60544

Happy New Year to all!
As you know, we always
continue to take
in
Bichons and Bichon
Mixes during the
Holidays.
This year was no
exception.
There were two owner surrenders in Florida,
one shelter bichon in South Texas and two
more in Chicago.
“Bernie”, a 2-4 year old owner,
surrendered to the CACC shelter ON CHRISTMAS
DAY, was taken in today by Small Paws.
See the white on him? That’s Bichon through
and through. I think the black is poodle.
I’ll ask him later if he remembers Mom or
Dad.
Thank God Tom and
Kathy were there when Emmie
was brought in, after
having been hit by
a car on an expressway.
I’m waiting on an estimate for Emmie while
they are getting her stabilized. I just authorized
xrays, bloodwork, and three days at the ER.
Bernie’s vetting will be around $800.00 with
quarantine and normal vetting if nothing
else is wrong.
I’m waiting for an
official estimate for
Emmie but I can tell
you it’s probably going
to run around $3000.00
before it’s all said
and done.
I’m here and will
issue all matching
donation
challenges.
Happy New Year! 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.
