I would tell people she was a Penn/Dunlop retriever.
Our local tennis courts were surrounded by palmetto palms, and see would go crashing in and try to carry out more than see could fit in her mouth.(3)
I had to stop doing it because I knew one day she'd find a rattlesnake on a water moccasin in there.
Miss ya, Maggie.
