Priscilla, aka Tilly, discovered her inner “beach bunny” while spending late summer on the Jersey Shore. Her family managed to escape New York City for a little while, and it seems that Priscilla wants to pitch her own Jersey Shore reality show. But her mom, Carly, is not sure if an entire series dedicated to barking at ducks and chasing crabs will be a hit. Aside from being Queen of the Jersey Shore, Tilly’s so happy the dog parks are back open in New York so she can run around off leash while in the city. Her seizures have been well controlled and she is feeling fine. Tilly and her human brother are now fast friends. Louis loves her! Whenever Louis is crying, his parents just call Priscilla in and he’s instantly happy — she’s endlessly entertaining to a child. Overall, Priscilla is happier than ever, and Carly is grateful that Animal League America and her Sponsors gave her family the wonderful opportunity to have Priscilla as part of their life!

Priscilla’s (aka Tilly’s) parents are so happy to have her around, especially during these uncertain times, having to maintain social distancing due to the pandemic. While she’s unable to get much off-leash time due to the closed dog parks, Tilly’s mom, Carly, still takes her on walks around the neighborhood twice a day. The most disappointing thing about this for Priscilla has been that she misses going to stores in her carry bag — she’s such a shopper. Her mom and dad have been playing lots of ball with her inside since they lifted the *no running in the house* rule. Tilly has a pretty impressive collection of tennis balls and squeak toys in all areas of their home. And Tilly’s family has increased by one with a human baby brother. She just loves to nap next to him. Happily, there have been no seizures to report and only one scuffle with the cat!

Priscilla or Tilly Tots (as mom Carly calls her), is doing wonderfully well. She did have a seizure a few months back, so the veterinarian added a new medication and she’s been more relaxed. Priscilla’s mom says they have to watch that there is not too much going on at once and try to keep things tame around her. Tilly and her mom love to go places together—the park, the bank, or a clearance sale in a trendy clothing store. It’s hard to imagine such a rough and tumble dog hopping in a purse, but sometimes on their outings she likes being carried in a bag. They attend many events together and had a lot of fun this past year with Halloween: They participated in a dog parade dressed as Dionne and Cher from Clueless. Then they attended a doggie Halloween party and Priscilla dressed as Wednesday Addams from the Addams family. She won for best costume!! They cheered on runners during the New York City Marathon—although Tilly was more interested in the cheese dogs. People stop and comment about how happy Tilly looks. Soon this little family will be expanding when Tilly gets a new (human) baby brother!
