Playtime gone wrong!

Last night playing tug with Daisy I managed to punch myself in the face  Nose to be exact it was bleeding and I have two little cuts now which I had to try and cover up with makeup today! I'm used to getting bruises all the time but this is a first!  

What injuries have you got from playtime with your pooches?

I'm sure I have done something similar along the way too Saz. Once got a nasty little bite on my little finger from getting it in the way of Rocky teeth once   It hurt for days  

Ouch!

I've had a right shiner off Darcy once, she butted me whilst we were playing

Darcy  

Had a few fat lips from head butts but other than that nothing Xx

Numerous sizes colours shapes bruises, broken fingers, broken ribs, burns ( from trying to pull him back when on the long lead slipping through my fingers) occasional nip whilst playing - liability!

Sorry Saz forgot to ask how you are , hope you don't get a bruise x

sorry but thats funny. Hope its not too sore xxx

Nothing yet, but I often think a broken neck is forthcoming when I'm trying to walk down the stairs with one in front and one behind.............

It it is funny, shame it wasn't caught on camera, I'd be a you tube sensation!!  

Its a bit sore, had to blow my nose earlier, smarted a bit!!

Broken bones, thats bad!  

Oh crikey Sazzle, I hope you're OK.  Doesn't it make you feel a fool?  

I have had little accidental playbites too numerous to mention, and a broken finger earlier this year from the extendable lead getting wrapped round my middle finger when Kuchar made a mad lunge, but the most serious (or at least the most visible) injuries I had ironically both came from my gentlest dog, my Dobie Rio:-

1.  I bent down to pick something off of the floor - at the same time Rio took a flying leap onto the sofa and her bullet-hard head banged my eyebrow ridge.  Owwww!  The black eye the next day had to be seen to be believed - unfortunately as I was going through a marriage break-up at the time the doctors I worked for did not believe it was caused by a dog!

2.  Few months later, encouraging Rio to play with a rawhide knot (I know, I know - now), I put it between my own teeth grr - grrr! Twisty twisty - what fun Rio, look!     Ping - my second front tooth post-and-crown broke off at the post and I had a gap in my front row of teeth like someone on the Jeremy Kyle show.  No problem I thought, new post will fix that.  Only apparently that wasn't possible for some reason - I spent several months having the empty root dug out of my jaw, waiting for the splinters to work their way out, having a false tooth on a plate whilst all this happened and the wound healed (which was grossly uncomfortable and Oh - I left this blessed plate on top of the loo when I fled to bed with an acute migraine - and Rio ate it!!! Well she spat out the bits but they were no use to me by then ) and then having a bridge put in which cost an absolute fortune.  

When Caryll (and others) bang on about rawhide knots being dangerous, I for one believe her !

Oh my  

The usual paw print bruises on the front of my thighs as he uses me as a springboard.. and torn ligaments in my hand as I stupidly tried to grab Rolo as he ran past my hand. I may have gotten away lightly so far!

Torn ligaments doesn't good! I know exactly what you mean about the pawprint bruises on thighs though! Although not from Daisy, from my mums dogs!

Nothing really now but when she was a pup had bruises from her nips and a few fingers came off second when we were playing. No broken bones though. But I must say they are 100% worth it  

Yes they are  

Through all the pain they are definitely worth it x

Yes even though I look like I tried to pick my nose with a pair of scissors!!
