The Dogmother Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 And for once, it wasn't being laid flat by racing lurchers... this was my finger. I was washing fox poo off Ruby, under the outside tap, and she decided to shake just as my hand was on her collar... her heavy ID tag twacked me very hard on the knuckle and it was swollen and black for a couple of days. Just about sums up what she thinks of being washed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 ouch....... looks like you've chipped the bone!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 I think I might have - the bruising and swelling have gone down but it's still a tad tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Looks painful. If it's any consolation I have three bruises running in stripes, the longest just over 20cm long down the inside of my thigh from where big black dog pawed me because I was ignoring him. I wont post pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Today I have a lump on the back of my left calf where Cyrus (daft loon that he is) cartwheeled into the back of my legs when he was mucking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 That looks sore. I've always got bruises on my legs from Cookie, she runs with other dogs, never looks in the direction she's going and always comes back to me! I narrowly missed being knocked over by her and one of her doggie friends yesterday as they glanced past me from behind. One of the ladies in the park broke both her legs when two dogs (one was hers) charged into her and smashed her up against a tree. That scares the life out of me.

The Dogmother Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Me too Ann - my ex's GSD had laid me lengthways a few times now and with him being built like a tank, it takes the wind out of me. He never looks where he's going and it's only a matter of time before he bashes into me again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beach chick Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 ooh claret, hope it doesnt hurt any more. Ozzie specialises in spinning in circles while you throw something - the amount of times he has spun so hard and whacked into me! AND he is usually wet at the time because been in the sea/stream/pond... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
