Barn buddies - Jiggs and Star

A silly video of Jiggs and his buddy Star before he left the barn for foster care with Nancy and Erich. Who knew that a starvation survivor (Jiggs) would form such a warm friendship with a fighting operation survivor (Star) and a formerly anti-social redhead (Jondi)? As barn crew handler Anita Joe said, "They really were an odd yet strangely functional crew" and each seemed to lean on the other for comfort and companionship during their transition to normal life. Star and Jondi still have each other, but we couldn't help but think they were looking for Jiggs this morning during their ritual zoomie blast around the yard. What a team.

  2. So awesome! Okay - got a little misty-eyed! But it's all good (got a little something coming for Star - and her buds and new bud - probably next week)!

  3. How can you look at that rapt attention and tell me this is not a working dog? Pit bulls are the ultimate people pleasers! Mine is so food-motivated I "exploited" his submissive grin and taught him to "smile" on command (judging from the crowd reactions, it's his best paw-ty trick).

  4. Great video! For a second I thought Star's eyes were going to pop out with excitement. Jigg just makes my heart melt with those bat ears.

  5. I love Star's laser focus and Jigg's laser...um...cuteness! Hard to believe those two happy campers came from such rough beginnings! I hope the new Cap'n makes a suitable morning zoomies substitute, though he seems to be a bit of a different body type than the Jiggster.

  6. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Star, Jondi and Mr. Jiggs should adopt a family TOGETHER! 3 times the fun!
