And so the injuries begin.... - Page 2

a few days ago I was riding my green goofy horse in a field and she thought the corn stalks she was stepping on whee fire crackers and threw me got a nice bruise on my leg and a nice walk all the way back to the barn

Split my lip open last week during narcotics training. Nothing like an 80 pound dog saying "LOOK LOOK I FOUND THE THING!!" and bringing their toy smack into your face. Then again, he could have been saying, "watch me facebutt this newbie". Who knows, it was fun either way. ;)

Well nbetween cadaver training and the schutzhund stuff I am covered in bruises from head to toe until the season ends or ...well I am always covered in bruises. People must think I am abused! LOL!
The latest was my big boy and I went for the same toy at the same time and he hit me in the cheek so hard I thought I was going to puke, that was a month ago and my face still hurts. My favorite is when my female bites me in the leg while I am kicking the sleeve back to the helper. I had a bruise for almost the whole summer from that one....

I am, unfortunately one of the unlucky ones to have a nice textured long line wrapped around the leg as the dog was taking off. I am lucky in the aspect that the line was loose enough to only give me severe rope burn. This was a year ago and I still have the scar to prove it. Great conversation starter though, I tell everyone my hubby tried to chop my leg off...hehehe.

Pain is a daily thing now, but well worth it. I have torn my rotator cuff wich still acts up once in a while, like now and herniated a disk. I don't know why I even bother seeing the Dr., I'm not going to do what he says anyways. Ha ha. I just take my painkillers and go back to what I was doing.

Oops, forgot the biggest (and most stupid) mistake-leading-to-injury I've made.... Feeling lazy at 5 am in the morning, I decided that it would be really smart to attach the long line to the back door handle (we don't have a fenced yard yet) so that I didn't have to go out in the 35 degree rainy darkness. Of course my dog takes off full speed into the dark and I feel really smart for about 3 second until he hits the end of the line and the door slams on my HEAD, because I was too freaking stupid to move it out of the doorway.

IT IS JUST LIKE SUMMER TODAY.  I DRIVE THE DINKSTER BY CITY PARK AND ITS BETTER THAN A WEEKEND.  THE PARK IS LOADED WITH MILFS AND BRATS.  I PUT DINKIES STUDDED COLLAR ON AND USE HIS HARLEY DAVIDSON BLACK LEATHER LEAD.  I HAVE PUT ON A BUNCH OF WEIGHT THIS WINTER SO EVERYTIME I GET TO A BIG TREE I REST AND HIDE WHILE I TAKE IN DEEP BREATHS AND THEN SUCK MY TUMMY IN AND FLEX WHILE I WALK TO THE NEXT TREE.  I KEPT DOING THIS AND THEN MY SIDE STARTED KILLING ME. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SIDE THE APPENDIX IS ON?

jeez RONNIE, it is on the inside!!!Although I know you already knew that and was just checking on our knowledge (lol).

So true Melissa.... Dr says, "wear this immobilization brace and no weight bearing on you leg, use crutches." Ha! Like I could do any tracking, fussing, or bitework on crutches! ;-) especially since it happened when we had 3 ft of snow on the ground! Just give me my drugs for before training, and my ice for after...;-) Theresa

My co-workers have stopped giving me funny looks about the various bruises & cuts I show up with....had to have my right shoulder reconstructed & my right knee replaced...both dog related....got bit the other day working on the retrieve, Beckett  thought, 'Why wait till she throws it, just grab it now!'...or maybe he thought my arm was a sleeve...but I had to laugh at the door scenario....I did the same thing when I first had Kali, I put her out & went to open the door to let her in, never thinking how hard a 70# dog would hit a steel door when she jumped on it, I was standing behind it. WHACK! Right on the forehead. I got knocked out cold, & didn't know it. She stayed right by me, but I got up not knowing I had been knocked out, I wondered how come I hadn't noticed it was almost time for work, it was 09:30 before I let her out, & it was 11:45 when I got up off the floor. I had to stop to puke twice on my way to work. My boss took one look at me & sent me to the ER. After the CT scan, they made someone come & get me, saying I was too concussed to drive for a couple of weeks. So if I seem a bit cracked sometimes, it's true, I am! And all on account of my wonderful GSDs! LOL! jackie harris

Kitkat, your rendition of being mobbed by the pack in the mud was so funny, in actual fact this whole thread is. My girls have pulled me over on more than one occasion but I don't think that I could make any of them sound so hilarious. Thanks for laugh guys.
