Jigger loved his walks in the woods, especially on the golf course during the off season where he would head for the tree line and look for golf balls…he loved golf balls! He loved truck rides, as well as going on the ATV and Side by Side with his dad at the cottage. He was a counter surfer who stole anything within reach in the kitchen, one time eating a raw steak and then looking at us innocently while we searched for it; the only evidence left behind was the smell of steak spice on his breath. He could always be bribed with food, and learned to recognize when we spelt out ‘biscuit’. He saw himself as the great protector of his home and us, barking furiously at anyone who came to the door. Eventually, if he recognized them, he would run to get a toy to greet them. He remembered every dog or cat commercial that he saw on TV and, no matter where he was in the house, came rushing out barking furiously to defend his territory whenever he heard them. He was a very vocal dog who grumbled if he felt he was being ignored…he loved scratches and having his paw held, and lying on people’s laps…all 70 plus pounds of him. We have so many memories that make us smile. Jigger, who was dad’s boy and mom’s puppy, was loved beyond measure and his passing has left a sadness in our hearts.
