Got a black eye yesterday...

from my 100lb lab mix. 

I was running late getting home from work yesterday.  When I got in the door I ran upstairs to change so I could get to my riding lesson on time.  I came back downstairs to the front door to grab the leashes to take the dogs out.  Well when I bent down he came rushing towards me, I guess because I hadn't said hello to him yet, and WAM!, right into the right side of my face.  I yelled, said a few choice words, and then instant tears from the pain.  Of course I yelled at him and then felt bad afterwards because he wasn't really trying to hurt me.

To make a long story short while I am off this summer I think he and I are going to be attending some obedience classes.  I'm realizing now that he's is no longer a little puppy but an 100lb dog that without manners could accidently hurt someone.  Off to Doggie school we go!

Re: Got a black eye yesterday...

  • Awww, he's so cute!  So sorry to hear about your black eye...that sucks!  I hope it goes away soon!  But...I feel your pain.  Bella once came this.close to breaking my nose - her head smacked into my nose/face, there was a loud crack, I screamed and started crying, and then blood started gushing out.  Bella wouldn't come near me for awhile because you could tell she was upset that she had hurt me.  I felt so bad for her.  Thankfully it wasn't broken, but I can still feel the crack where it healed.  Ugh, labs' heads are solid blocks!!!

  • Aww!!! But your dog pic is so adorable!!!! Doesn't look like he would hurt a fly! 

    GL with the classes. So sorry about the black eye!  Hope it's not too bad!

     

  • Labs head are solid blocks!!  And he really is a sweetheart but unfortunately he's also a large, uncoordinated, bumbling lab.  My brother actually calls him the "bumble beast"

  • Ouch! Sorry about the black eye! Jumping is the one habit I've never been able to break Sam of. It is like he has a spring built into his butt and as soon as he sees you he bounces up and whacks you on the nose before you know it. He is better if you get down to his level and give him some love.

    GL with doggie school!

  • Ouch that sounds painful.

    Awww He was just excited to see his mommy!!

    Hope your eye gets better soon.

  • What a big boy!  He's a cutie!  I'm sorry about your black eye but it is kind of funny when I think about the visual of your huge pup smashing into you!  I hope obedience classes go well!

    Yes they are!  My newest dog-niece is called DD or Devil Dog (not really her name-which is Dahlia), but that's what her mommy calls her.  She's mischiveous (sp). 

  • Eck, a black eye is the painful. Hopefully your makeup and cover it up mostly. Hope you still had fun riding yesterday!

    I swear he did!  When I got home from riding he walked up to me so slowly and then the whole night all he wanted to do was lean against me.

    Hudsy - Riding went well.  Thanks for asking!
