Maggie came into Jerome Shirley’s life as a wedding present from his brother. Her status as a gift means she can really kick back and enjoy life on the Bunnaloo farm. Not being one for farm chores, Maggie instead devotes her time to the more important issues — stick chasing and bird patrol.

What breed is Maggie?
She’s a golden retriever.
How old is she?
A year and four months.
Why did you get her?
My brother got her for us as a wedding present. He has a male dog who had a litter and generally you get paid with a pick of the litter. My brother let us have the pick of the litter instead and we went over and picked Maggie.

She doesn’t do anything. She chases birds, rabbits and hares. She doesn’t catch them.

Is this your first dog in awhile?
We used to have a whippet x staghound.
Would you say she’s more your wife’s dog?
Possibly. Maggie doesn’t really leave the house. She doesn’t like jumping into the bikes or tractors or anything.
What do you like most about Maggie?
She’s fun to play with. She’s got a nice personality.
