He's had three injuries in the span of three weeks. First he got cold water/timber tail. Alright, not really a big deal. I mean, his tail looked like a limp weiner but nothing serious. Then the next day Boomers' owner was playing with the dogs and Duke went head first into a colvert running full speed. All I hear is a awful yelp. We both ran and slide down; he comes out shivering and whining. I was freaking out, thought he got a concussion, broke something serious.. saw nothing. He got up and jogged away happily over to Boomer. The next morning I saw two big gashes in his hock. (how I missed them before, not sure.) Now, this morning.. I was playing fetch with him at work and he rammed his face into a wall after the ball and broke a tooth. Poor baby.

:mad: But still annoying.

Do your dogs injury themselves frequently? What injuries have your dogs' had?

Ozzy's like that. He had to have staples for a dog bite, then he ripped his dewclaw off, then he got a TICK on one of his eyelids, then a few weeks later, he had conjunctivitis.

Poor Duke. :/ Hope he gets out of this slump!

I was walking Duncan past a car sale place, and the sidewalk was really close to the cars. Duncan walked into a car, shook it off, and then walked into another. That moment really confirmed my suspicion that Duncan would never become the doctor or lawyer I hoped he would be, :(

That being said, Cameron never gets hurt, Duncan frequently slips and crashes.

Ouch! None to speak of so far :) Unless you count me nipping one of his nails last night... he yelped a little then went right back to sleep. Worst feeling ever? Probably..

Bailey's not graceful at all and she lands weird on her feet and will have a nice limp for a day or so sometimes. She also has scraped her left front leg a couple of times now and caused it to bleed, then scab and then I have to keep her from licking/nibbling the scab :rolleyes: She does weird things like when she rolls off the deck, but she appears uninjured when she gets up :p

That's so sad! Poor boy!

Chewy is accident prone, more than any of the others. She is clumsy, she'll trip over anything, she can't jump in any kind of efficient manner, she will run head first into barbed wire or other pointy thing. She has scars on her face and legs to prove it. She will jump through a broken glass window just because all the cool kids are doing it (ill-fated play date of sorts), she'll get distracted by something and ram into one of the other dogs and fall flat on her face. When she gets excited and starts running and jumping at a toy she trips over her own feet and crash lands. Somehow she always manages to roll a few times, even on flat ground... She always gets up and looks terribly offended that gravity would dare mess with her.

Haha!!

Glad I'm not with the only clumsy, accident prone dog.

He gives me gray hairs. Heck he probably gives *himself* gray hairs. He gets so emotional when he hurts himself.
