Why did you name her Chigger?

Mitchell was over to play last week and came out back while we were tending to Chigger's self inflicted injuries. A few days earlier she had taken off from Dan while he was trying to catch all 1000 pounds of her, ran in the stall, fell down, scrambled to get up and in the process got her leg stuck under the 600 lb panel stall wall and ended up with what seemed like endless bleeding just above the white line of her hoof. She never learns... Anyhow, he asked
"Why did you name her Chigger?"
Dan replies "Because we did."
Mitchell came back with "Was it because she Chiggers?"
Curious, I asked him "What do you do when you Chigger?"
"You do this" He says then he starts his rendition of "Chiggering" a kind of silly dance involving running, kicking and giggling. Kinda reminded me of Elaine's dance on Seinfeld and I busted a gut laughing.
No Mitchell, we didn't name her because she "Chiggers" :)
That's what she was called when we got her.
Truth be told, her real name is "Two Eyed Shadow Jack"
I prefer Chigger.
