my beautiful whippies were running in a field thursday morning when i saw at the last second that they were going to run into me! they hit me in my legs from behind and down i went! they knew something was wrong and stayed next to me whilst i tried to make a call for help. the result was a compound fracture to my right wrist - i am right handed! - with 3 wires / pins. 33 hrs later i was home from hospital and my boys seem to know somethings up - or it could just be that they are wondering what this strange pot thing their mum has attached to her arm! i always thought they might knock me over one day and they did it with style! i still love them to bits though!!! anne

[posh totty]

[meddling]

I'm sorry but (w00t) :lol: has to be done sorry

My boxers used to take me out but unlike whippets they used to then jump on me to finish the game :lol:

Ouch you poor thing, glad you still live them to bits though. :huggles: :huggles:

as for sensing something's wrong they definitely do, Jesse was only about 5 months old

when I came home from hospital after having my appendix removed. I was so worried about him going crazy and jumping on me, but he knew something was wrong, when I sat down he jumped up very carefully and gently put his head on my lap :wub: :huggles: :wub: Bless him, o

Sonia and Jesse xx

That sounds nasty - hope your wrist is better soon. :thumbsup: My two pulled me over today - a combination of really strong winds, Muffin pulling, Jonah barking at a young dalmation who came around the corner, and my trainers slipping on the gravel. (w00t) I was wearing thick jeans so not too much damage to my knees but very embarrassing! :b

Was browsing and had to add to this thread.

My secret, and it works for me (to date (w00t) ) if i see them come hurtling towards me i stop and stand still and they always dodge me! The way i see it - they dont ever run into a tree. :blink: this is famous last words though! (w00t)

Anyway hope you recover soon.

Marie. :huggles:

Hope your wrist soon heals. I was once knocked over from behind by a 7 month old Irish Wolfhound puppy and I thought a car had mounted the kerb and run me over (w00t)

Greyhound William has run into a tree on more than one occassion but then again he is pretty thick

 

[jinx and rubys mum]

OUCH (w00t)

Get well soon!!

 

[zilloot]

Poor you - hope it's not too sore!

My old lurcher once ran into a tree and knocked himself out! Dad had to carry him home and he was a big dog! A couple of days with a headache and he was okay.

I was in the field once and three of the whippies came hurtling blindly towards me so I beat them to it and just sat down on the grass anyway. We still ended up in a big pile :huggles: But I have been knocked over with a dog to the back of my knees.

Also my dogs have crashed into each other! Years ago one of my whippets broke part of her nose crashing into the other in a HUGE field... they were the only two in it but they managed to hit each other. There was so much blood from her nose I thought she was dying and I probably broke the speed limit getting to the vet!

It's hard to know which way to sidestep when they come from behind ay!

Hope u mend quick :flowers:

 

[jinnyfizz]

They're little hellers, aren't they?!!!!! (w00t)

Hope you recover quickly :luck: - I know how frustrating it is to be in your situation! :blink:
