Paddy despite her name was a female Irish Terrier. Her name wasn't thought unusual because quite a few girls called Patricia at the time like to have it shortened to Paddy. She had an absolutely wonderful disposition--the sweetest dog in the world. Funny thing about Paddy, She had the ability to distinguish German callers at our front door from English ones. She'd bark like crazy at the Germans but would wag her tail at the English. This may have been because German callers tended to carrying something, like tools to fix something or produce to sell to us, whereas the most an English caller was likely to bear was a bottle of beer! She of course added to the welcome when we arrived home from our boarding schools.
