Priscilla is doing well! She sends this report, care of her foster family:

My name is  Priscilla and my foster parents think I’m a sweet little angel girl!!  When I first arrived here,  I was afraid of EVERYTHING!!  Noises, going in and out of doors, new people—I had to be coaxed in and out of the house and would hide under the dining room table if I was inside, or on a small deck if I was outside.  My tail was always curled up underneath me as far as it could go. I must admit, so many changes in my life so fast had me pretty confused and uncertain.

….But it didn't take long for me to start feeling safe and comfortable, especially with the help of Cooper, my Golden foster brother. I'm still skittish about some things, but now I greet every morning with a wagging tail and a cuddle.  I LOVE to cuddle on the couch or in bed and like to be close to my foster mom, especially when she pets me so softly.  I have several spots throughout the house where I like to rest during the day, on a couch in the sunroom or in the tall grass outside.  I'm very calm, sweet, loving and almost never make a sound. 

As you can see, I'm a little thing.  About 30 pounds and so far my appetite isn’t too big. Sometimes my foster mom has to hand-feed me my dog food!  Maybe my last home just scraped the table scraps into my dog dish, because I like to go after “people food” left within my reach on the counter or coffee table—but I listen well when they  my family tells me “no.”  I don't really like being on a leash much, but I'm slowly learning how.  We’ve  been on a few car rides and I don't prefer that mode of travel! I get carsick and salivate a lot, but I'm trying to get used to that too. My foster folks are dressing me up in a chic and form-fitting “Thundershirt” before rides and that does seem to help me feel more secure. Baby steps every day!

I can't wait to find my forever home and hope that someone with lots of love and affection wants to adopt me, ‘cause I would rather be snuggling than doing anything else. I would also prefer a quiet place and if I could have a big yard to trot around in & relax in that would be nice too.  And I love to learn from the other Golden here... he is very sweet and sometimes we even play. So another nice, understanding dog would be a bonus.  I'm so glad to be in a safe place now and am becoming a more confident puppy every day.
