Staffy Damage!!!

Just wondering what injuries people have sustained as a result of owning a Staffy(or Dempsey).

For instance, last night i was playing with Logan blowing in his face when he decided i'd annoyed him enough....so he headbutted me. Right on the bridge of my nose. It made eyes water and now i have a little purple(ish) bruise on my nose!!! and its really sore!!!! (i know it was my own fault!!)

Same as you, she jumped up to kiss me as I was bending down and she clean knocked me off my feet with a fat lip to show for it!

Yep kaisers head butted me in the nose twice last week and it really hurt im sure there heads are made of stone i was teasing him asking if he wanted to go for a walk and he jumped up excited and head butted me

I've been headbutted a couple of times, Leaim's brother has been bitten on the nose, well more scratched, but with teeth. Molly almost broke my finger, I have a scar from her mistaking my finger as a stick, and Leaim has half a nail lifted up, as well as another black nail, for the same reason.

ditto

Ive been headbutted, knocked off my feet and have scars on my arms when seperating a fight

Dempsey's a b***er for head butting. So far I've had several fat lips, a couple of black eyes & loads of bruises!

I also tried to dig a chew out from the back of his throat just as he decided to clamp down on it - he went right through my finger to the bone! Um, it hurt a little bit.

yup, the totally unexpected ones when your just leanin over and u get solid bone rite on the sore bit of your nose and cant see for a few mins due to the tears streamind down your face lol. Ohhhh i remembered another one, i've got really bad circulation in my lower legs, and when jake runs into me when playing he decks me, sore bum bone!!!

Been there, done that! Bandit was an expert at hitting you just in the right place at the back of your knees & smack, straight down you'd go!

not looking forward to that one

Ooh where do I start, theyve all been accidental but...

* long bruises where they jump up and scratch my legs when I come home from work or play.
* bitten and broken fingers when Ive wrestled other horrible dogs off of my babies.
* brusied face from being headbutted.
* torn tricep muscle from trying to hold tali.

lets put it this way ive plenty of scars to remember them for

Not as bad as them but Billy when he was younger would never look where he was running and quite a few times, he ran straight into my shin's. Bloody hurts that does lol. Even now when he's running towards me I make sure Im not in his way lol.

And yet we still love em.................can someone remind me why?

cos every single one of em is ACE!! and make us smile & laugh!!!!!

i've just been diagnosed with tennis elbow and im sure thats through my arm being dragged out of its socket when woody spots something he wants on walks.....although on the plus side he once guided me to a £5 note!

Moo found a tenner once

if money is involved we forgive them anything! wasnt so impresed with the dead bird last week though!

What bird?

it was a half decomposed seagull on the beach, not the female variety!!! he looked so pleased with his little self i couldnt help but laugh whilst feeling very nauseous!!!

Eeeuuuwww!!

Everyone else here has heard this one, but Bandit (my last stafford) tried to swallow a whole, rotting salmon once! Aren't staffs wonderful?

exscuse me ive just heaved!! oh if its digustin woody will find it. his current favourite is horse manure - and there is plenty of that around on our walks, he sees "all you can eat banquet" i see smelly breath for the night!

I was playing fetch yesterday with Blue and I did that thing were you pretend to throw it and as they shoot of to get the stick you turn 180 degrees and throw it the other way.
Only thing was I gave him a good chance to have a run up and when I threw the stick. The back of my legs was right in line between point A (Blue) and point B (The stick). Must have been funny to watch cos he just took me clean off my feet.

When Jethro was young and his prime he ran flat out at my hubby Tony but he forgot to veer off and ran straight into him..wow..did Tony go flying !! Have cracked heads a few times when playing with Jethro.. yes it hurts alot..don't think Jethro felt it though!! Regarding finding the tenner.. one night we were out camping in the bush and went for a walk along a dirt road...Tony realized he had dropped the car keys when we turned round to go back. We only had a little pathetic torch but Jethro ran ahead as he does and he ran off to sniff something in the dark.. it was our keys !! Good boy !!!

Shay has headbutted me twice in the week we have had here and yes it sure does bring tears to your eyes but worst off al my son has started to copy her now and if he cant have something he headbutts my leg :S

OMG dannii thats funny your little boy butting your leg bless would be funny to see.
Ty has given me brused legs face arms fat lip swolen eye from head butting. He doesnt like to stop once he starts running he doesnt stop himself he runs straight at you an if you dont get out the way your going down with him as my mum found out last night. Ty was in garden whipping around having a mad half hour and my mum came back in the house and was walking away from the door when Ty decided he didnt wanna be out anymore so shot in and ran straight through my mums legs and she ended up in a heap on the floor she wasnt impressed her elbow and upper arm are all blue were she landed on the floor. Neadless to say I nearly peed myself lol Ty then darted straight in to the couch to stop himself the couch tipped up an ty just looked at my mum as if to say what you doin down there soft lady fix the couch. I was very amused by this lol.

lol next time he does it ill try get a vid of him

i was sewing up Bruno's dog (soft toy) yesterday and he wanted, he tried to grab it off me but got my finger instead, and i won't say what i called him

Makes mental note not to have my face/head near Bruno incase he decided to head butt me, but my guess he'll do it when i not expecting it

Most often are the head butts that I could loose a tooth with and the fat lips but last night Emmy rolled of the couch (wasn't quite awake yet) back first and landed on her dad's leg hard then bounced into the coffee table and broke the bottom shelf.

Ohhh the headbutts! Yep a few bruised noses and a lump on the head!

You also have to get out the way when Lily has her mad 5 mins run around or you'll get bowled over with enthusiasm! And when she wants you to play tug with a raggy type toy (those ropey knot things) she does that CUTE play growling and then shakes it like MAD back n fore to encourage you (:S) you have to make sure NO part of your body is near or you'll get whipped with the toy!! BLOODy hell that hurts!

All of the above and just recently a nose bleed, gee thanks for that Loly Lola

Yep head butted not just in the nose but in the face in general, plus loads of bruises and i got a cracked bone in my wrist when Harley decided to jump up on me full speed and he landed on my arm that was on the arm rest of the chair, he loves knocking me over as well so loads of scratches.
