I have become the 3rd casualty of 15 month old Toby's boisterous behaviour.
I took him to work with me today and walked him at lunch, i was throwing him a ball, when he head butted me a beauty, smack on the nose, The scene looked like a murder scene, blood everywhere, certainly made my eyes water and i now have a very tender hooter.
A few months ago, Toby did the same to a lady who bent down to say hello, she got a split lip in return for her offer of a kiss.
When Toby was about 8 months old, after his obedience training session, he was running around playing with the other dogs, whilst us humans chatted.
Toby was in the lead being chased by his friends and the circle was getting bigger and bigger, he then collided with a lady, taking her clean off her feet, resulting in a double fractured arm.
All of the above, have of course been pure accidents and Toby has been totally oblivious to the carnage he has caused, All of the casualties have forgiven him.
But, be warned, if you want to give Toby a sloppy kiss, wear a crash helmet and a suit of armour.
Gary and Toby.
Oh dear!!
Hope you're ok Gary! Not long after I got Milo (he was about 21mths) He broke my wrist with his exhuberance at seeing another dog! So you have my sympathy!
The pic of Toby looks like he wouldn't harm a fly!
You've missed off my badly bruised finger which I realised today is now fully healed after the Xmas Melton GT!!!!
Tucker and Luna can be held with one/two fingers on harness - Toby can't!!
I hope he helped you out with cleaning up etc - must have been a traumatic sight for anyone witnessing!
Luna's split my lip before and Tucker has nibbled it when rather over-excited with trying to share his toy with me
OUCH painful Max has nutted me a few times it is painful no blood for us here yet it those big heads they have Plus the over exuberant welcome you always get even though they have just been in the car when you have been to the shop Hope feels better soon Gary

That's because he's heard about the "Fly, fly" diversion (subject of a previous post))
On a serious note I hope you're ok. Animal interaction is dangerous. Years ago my horse fell on my mum and broke her hip putting her in hospital. Risky business.

This time last year I had my wrist in a cast curtesy of Max! He'd been neutered between Xmas and New Year and was on lead only walks. I decided to take him out for a short walk on New Years Eve afternoon when he saw another dog and went crazy. I stepped back on wet grass to get him under control and bang, straight down. Max then thought it was a game and was jumping all over me.
Owie Gary!, bet you`ll have a black eye or two in the morning, can imagine the looks when you say you got smacked in the nose by your dog
I got felled by a lab pup a while back, he got me from behind right on the back of my knee, no where to go but down , it happens, we all know how boisterous they can be and they don`t mean it, they just don`t know their own strength.
I'm sure there's a cartoon in there somewhere Gary !!!
You know what's going to happen now ? Everything you do,you will accidently tap your nose !!
Heal up quick !!
