Meet JBJ

Who is Junie B Jones 

And why does she look so funny?

Junie B Jones is The Claiborne House B&B Assistant Innkeeper.  She's not allowed to venture into guest areas (due to guest allergies and fear of cute cuddly dogs), but you will encounter her out and about on the property.  We call her the 100 mile-per-hour dog as this is how fast she runs.  Otherwise she is a layabout, slacker and couch potato!

She is an Irish Jack (for those not in the know, they vary from the "Eddie or My Dog Skip" Parsons Jack by about a half foot in height.  She stands about 12 inches tall - so she is basically longer than she is tall.  But don't let that fool ya.  She is noted as being a big dog in a small body and too smart for her own good.

The inn is home to Junie as well as our indoor cat Brewster.  She never ventures into the guest areas (since we won't let her!)

Junie was born on a small ranch in South Carolina. We acquired her from Jack Russell's of South Carolina.  We highly recommend this breeder of fabulous dispositioned puddin' dogs.
