Like a left hook to the cheek bone

It hurts to chew and my eye is swollen and black.
My dog gets in a very playful mood, jumping at me and grabbing my shoes and the like.
Yesterday afternoon I was out to the garden to pick a couple peppers, I was stooped down, not paying attention until I felt something slamming into my head. By the time my vision straightened out I saw him standing across the yard with a concerned, guilty look on his face. I imagine he hit me with his head as it seems to be made of stone. He didn't show any injury of any kind.
Mixed breed, Bull Mastiff, German Shepherd, Sharpei and a brave daddy, probably a Red Tick. weighs about 80 pounds.

Nothing like getting hit by a self propelled missile in the shape of a dog. Had a collie that for some reason every now and again would put it's skull into my kneecap under full acceleration then bounce off and watch.

I had a Chocolate Lab hit me across the knees once. The top of my head hit the ground first and while my feet was straight up in the air. Ouch that hurt; looked like an NFL highlight film tackle.

Nice looking dog. Looks like he has some 1953 Buick in his lineage. Yep a dog's head can be a wake up call.

Yep, LOML will agree. Ask her about the time our King Shephard took her feet out bringing the ball back. Or the time after that-same deal. Or the time after that.....aw, you know. LOML doesn't play ball with her anymore.

That's why we own a toy poodle (any wisecracks and I'll sic my cats on you.)

Our Chocolate Lab has knocked me over more than once, doesn't faze him a bit. My sister's lab only weighs about 60lbs wet and she ran into me once and took my legs out from under me.

Perhaps we should have a thread regarding dog training. At my age, with my knees, I can't afford an out of control dog. My wife, on the other hand, usually allows the dog to be in control. At least until he upends her.

I can't resist and have to post a "no comment" on the toy poodle.

Gee,

My old spaniel hated toy dogs... after about 15 seconds of yipping he was ready to draw blood.

I can admit to probably having the sissiest dog ever. I had a miniature maltese that weighed a little over 3 lbs and she didn't bother fooling herself that she was bad. That little girl was senile at 8 yrs of age and lived for 17.

Our oldest son has been dragged across the yard by our chocolate lab before we had the fence up. Had him on the leash trying to keep him in the yard and a car or truck went by that he wanted to chase and off he went, with the oldest trying to hang on. He did pretty good for about 15 feet or so and then decided he should let go of the leash

[Russianwolf]

yeah, at least your weren't knocked out............... by a fish!!!!!!!

I've been around dogs my entire life.

rule 1) when a dog is playing he forgets all about the humans nearby.

Notice that dogs are at the perfect level to take out your knees? I've seen it happen more often at the dog parks than you can imagine. Two dogs running full speed and blam! right in the back of someones knees and they go flying through the air. The dogs barely even notice if at all.

Timely thread. As of last night my nose is nearly broken from a 22lb Australian Shepherd/Jack Russell mix. If I did not love him so much, I would have head butted his nose back!!
