comings and goings in the barn

Today was a great day for the barn dogs. Nita left for her new home with a young San Francisco couple. They were all eyes for her baby browns and pouty perfection. Bye-bye Nita! Elliot will miss your morning wrestle sessions and the way you loved using him as an arm chair.


Jiggity Jiggs finally left for a real live foster home, where he gets to practice life with cats and a male mentor named Rube while he waits for someone to fall in love with him. This will be Nancy and Erich's fourth foster dog for BR. Their recent project was Molly the senior-in-crisis, who is no longer in crisis and enjoying a brand new home. You usually know their project dogs because they end up riding to work every day in Erich's sidecar. The real question is: Will Jiggs take to the road like his predecessors Camelia (below) and calendar girl Atomic Betty? Time will tell.


Finally, this not-named-yet bubba head moved into Jigg's empty kennel today. He's a ridiculous boy with a body that seems more mutant than dog ... We'll 'splain why later. Right now, Jondi and Star are enjoying the sights and smells of a freshly neutered boy in their space. Mmmm. Boy stuff!

  7. can I push for naming the new guy Enki? (god of knowledge - to fight ignorance and misinformation, god of creativity - to find new ways to spread pit bull love, god water - because water is essential to life, god of mischief - because who doesn't like a bit of mischief in such a handsome fellow!)

  8. Bon voyage, Miss Nita! I'm so happy someone fell for your baby browns and sweet low-ridin' ways! I hope the Jiggity Jiggster thrives in foster care and is soon channeling the breeze through those massive ears while riding in the side car. Keep us posted! Welcome to Captain Spanky and his intoxicating man-scent--looking forward to lots of photos and stories!
