So, I got beat up. By my dog. No, not the big one. The little 15 pound terrier.
She didn't mean to do it, she was just in a hurry to get outside. I had her leash in my hand and as soon as I opened the patio door she took off running as fast as she could. The result was my hand being smashed into the door frame. It immediately started swelling and bruising. Luckily, I was in the kitchen when it happened, so I had an ice pack on it in less than a minute. It wasn't until I saw the blood on the ice pack that I realized that the door frame had sliced me open.
Fortunately, hubby was home and he bundled me into the car and off we went to the emergency room. I got some really funny looks from the staff when I tried to explain that my dog broke me. By the time we left I had x-rays, a tetanus shot, my wounds cleaned, two different kinds of antibiotics and a prescription for Vicodin.
Does this look like a pup that would beat up her Mommy?
My pup has been so sweet ever since. She sits in my lap constantly and keeps giving me these “I’m so sorry” looks. The really ironic thing about the whole situation? She had obedience class the day that it happened. I had to call her trainer from the emergency room and explain why we would be missing class that day. To her credit, the trainer did her best not to laugh.
Oh noooooo! Poor thing! Our dogs do stuff like that too- they get so excited then do something crazy and then they feel horrible. Your dog looks so sweet...i hope you recover quick!! :)
