You opened a can of worms… Raider names for dogs.

She also does a kind-of toss of the ball sometimes, flicking her head upwards while letting go of the ball - usually landing in my hands. Your story had me laughing Jordon - though for a second I thought the outcome was going to be much worse given the post title!

Well, one quarter dog, three quarters wolf. 180 pounds total, 240 horsepower, 300 pounds-feet of torque. Every time I would barbecue, I would toss him the bones. It got to the point when the gas grill went "whumpf" at startup, he was at the fence. Like any dog, he occasionally got out and I would call him and bring him back. One Sunday night, I was filling the trash barrel and here came my cat, with the dog right behind. The cat made a 90 degree left, then a 90 degree up a tree. But the dog only made it halfway through the first turn, and lost traction, sliding into my trash barrel, scattering litter, dog, and barrel all over the driveway. What a racket, everyone thought a car crashed into my house. I laughed my but off, while I picked up all the litter! You need to rename Maggi - she is definitely a Raider. None of those wimpy Bronco names. My old neighbor bought a “dog” from an ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine.

Broken boards everywhere. The dog not only got the frisbee but also went back and got some of the boards as well. Our neighbor had a dog that went through his fence to get a frisbee.
