Long line DISASTER

So I'm happily walking frankie on his long line, we've both been loving it! We're in the park playing with his ball. So I'm throwing it and then chasing frankie when he goes to get it. Until.... I under estimated 1, how far I could throw the ball and 2, how fast I could run, I'm sure you've now guessed what's coming!!!!
I threw the ball and frankie ran much quicker than me, so the line went tight and I flew up in the air and ended up greeting the ground by skidding on my face. And of course frankie just wants to get to his ball!! It all happened so quick I didn't get chance to let go. All I could do was sit on the floor laughing. Thank god nobody saw me!!!!!! So I've now got a cut face, what looks like a black eye coming and grazed knees!!!! And to top it off we come home and frankies sick again.
I'm so glad my OH wasn't there or he would still be there laughing. Every time I think of it I keep laughing!!! Please tell me I'm not the only one who has had a disaster????

as we don't use a long line no, but that cheered my morning up!!!

Haha, I had a simular experience the first time I had maxi on a long lead. She though she was off lead and took off and when the lead tensed I was head down in the mud lol

Yep , I was using one on Tommy the other week , at the end of our walk near some trees (going steeply downhill) had the end in my hand , said the S word (Squirrels ) to the pair of them and off they shot , jees a staffy can accelerate well over a 50ft start , end of the line comes and I'm ready (no I wasn't) I am stumbling like an idiot for another 30ft to then fall in a heap and have 2 stupid excited dogs jumping all over me and Tommy biting my ears

This is forever happening to me haha it does make me laugh tho

I've done it many times myself and woke up the following day not being able to move my right arm properly lol! Haven't actually fell though...yet

Oh dear

Happens to us all. I underestimated how strong Loki was and he pulled, I went flying head-first into the grass (this was when it was icy and freezing and rock-hard). Not so fun

Not fallen over but Densil nearly dragged me in some bushes once and he got wound up around the branches and I had to untangle him and pull him out. Your dog looks just like my Densil and he loves to sit in the window just like that - I thought it was him when I first saw the picture!

Oooops

Yep.... we've had similar experiences... mainly involving Rolo playing ball, running round behind me excited...I don't realise and next thing I know, the long line has wiped my leg out from under me. We've mastered the splits... next is a double salchow

Hope Frankie is feeling better soon ><

It's not just me then!!! The things we do for the pooches! I've just popped back from work to check on him, no more sickness but very lethargic. Gonna cook him some chicken and rice later and see how that goes.

Never happened to me touch wood! Thats made me chuckle

Hope Frankie gets better soon ><

Oh no!! hope your OK >< I've nearly yanked my arm out of the socket a few times but that about it!! We've progressed to letting in trail now so hopefully they'll be no accidents!! Hope Frankie feels better soon ><

I can picture it. I once pretended to throw a ball and Blue ran off then I giggled to myself turned 180 degrees and threw the ball which put my in the line of fire, he ran straight threw the back of my legs and sent me flying Same here no one around to see.

I have nearly gone on my bottom before now haha, they can tangle you up very quickly or pull you over... I let Otis' trail generally but still have to watch in case it's tangled around me

Frankie is back to his normal self now. He says thank you for all you're messages and he sends lots of sloppy kisses

Yes, I've had a simular experiance. We were at the beach. Ken's on hs long lead and spots a seagull, I kinda done a star jump which put me face first in the sand , very emabarassing

Oh dear, I now have images of you going flying across the park, I hope your cuts and grazes heal very soon ><

Poor you! ><

It happened to me before i got the flexi lead, he shot off to chase birds, i had the lead wrapped around my fingers and one managed to get broken, I've now got a really attrractive black nail oops!!!!

This made me laugh, but my long line has arrived in the post today, so i better not laugh too hard as we all know that karma is a b*tch...;-))

It happened to me with a horse but not a dog, i'm too strong
