Freckles was a beautiful Border Collie and American Eskimo mix. A happy, loving, gifted, and loyal girl who was the delight to all who knew her. She never grew tired of her tennis ball, loved her orange stuffed kitty, and was quick to greet all new friends. The wind in her face either from the car or boat was such a thrill. Precious Freckles, forever remembered.
Freckles died New Year’s Day. Two weeks later, I couldn’t stand how much I missed her. I began searching online for a new Baby Girl to come home to.
When I adopted Pebbles, she was sweet, calm and quick to learn. At just over a year old, she’s still that same pup but with a LOT of energy. I sure miss those puppy naps! Once we moved into our new home with a big yard and after snapping a scrapbook full of what I’ve come to call my “Daily Surprise” pics (piles of chewed up treasures scattered around strategically for me to easily discover), I realized she was just bored out of her mind. Even with Griffin and Rhino, it just wasn’t enough. I was sad for her, so, I set out to find the best way to help her through the day.
Enter fostering. I bring in a precious dog … or two … or three … and maybe a cat every now and again … who not only gets a second chance at life but becomes a friend of Pebbles. It was perfect … for a while.
After only a few months of fostering, we knew there was something missing still. We ached for a second pup – a permanent sister. So when Abbi came along, we knew her sweet disposition, love of children (seriously – I think she’d leave us in a heartbeat for any kiddo!), and classic beauty would fit right in … perfectly. She’s become our “mommy,” constantly caring for the fosters and making sure they are sufficiently snuggled with! Well, overly snuggled is more like it.
Now we’re all set and ready to go. It’s going to be a challenge, but we’re all excited to meet each dog (and cat) that passes through Bella Cashlin. They will be loved.

Below are those waiting for their forever homes! You can check them out individually at Frisco Humane Society. Won’t you give them a spot in your heart?

Hey there!
I love your website! What a great group of friends and family 🙂 Thanks for following our adventure with Paz. Sad to say, she’ll be going back to TSA in another 1-2 months, depending on her progress. We’re going to miss her terribly, but she’s going to be a great working dog. Her desire to roam and her personality will probably serve her best as a search and rescue dog, a border patrol dog, or a mine sniffer in Afghanistan or Iraq (like her mom)!
I don’t think we’re going to foster again for awhile. TSA won’t have any more puppies to foster in our part of Texas again in the near future, and we’ve decided Jed (our 14 year old dog) has earned the right to spend his last few months in peace. After Jed is in doggie heaven, we may foster on a more regular basis. It’s such a rewarding job!
Hey Kat!
Cool blog! I love the photo of your four pets on the chair! So adorable!
I look forward to following the blog so keep the posts coming!

WooHoo more locat bloggy friends! We are so happy to meet you all! Pebbles and Abbi, Boxen and I want to come and play with you guys sometime, or we think you should come and play in our pool. We love having friends over! We can’t wait to read all about you and your adventures!
Griffin and Rhino, Beau said to tell you he thinks your colors are beautiful and that he wishes he could come and play with you. He would love to have a brother to play wth but mom says one cat is enough right now.
Thanks for stopping at our blog, we are sorry you missed the Irish festival but there are lots of things that NORCAL does, maybe you can come to another event!

Hi Kat,
I finally remembered to look at my “most visited sites” and saw your blog. I love to see the kitties from “Ginger” and how much they look just like her and my “Tigger”. I couldn’t do without Tigger, Ginger or Maggie…my wonderful furry friends. How in the world did you get all 4 of your pets posed so well…what a great picture!
This is a great service you do to help find homes for all these wonderful pets. God Bless you for your love of animals.
Love,
Mimi
