lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Some of you know that my lurcher bitch is rather, erm, accident prone. She's 2 1/2 years old, and she's forever in the wars. She's had split nails, snagged herself on the trampoline bolts and various trees/fences/other dog's teeth, she nearly ripped her chest clean off at Christmas on barbed wire. She doesn't even work for God's sake, she's just my moochin' buddy. But she is the most accident prone dog I've ever known and she's got scars all over her body. Set off today for a nice walk and everything was going well, both of them having a good time. Got a bit warm She did some jumping as usual - notice the top of the fence is intact! Went through the gate and took the dogs for a swim, and she went for a mad post-wet run around and over that same fence. Here she goes You can just make out her arse end here I heard an almighty crack over my blaring ipod, but she came back to me in one piece and carried on larking about so I thought nothing of it. Time to go, so I go back to that same gate and this is what I see Jesus wept!!! She even left her fur behind to mark her territory I really can't believe she isn't hurt, tho I expect a decent bruise later on today. More of this carry on And then a torn stopper pad FFS I sometimes wonder if she'll even make it to 3 years old. Am I the only one with a Liability Dog? Every time we leave the house I lay 50/50 odds on her coming back at all, never mind in one piece - it's tiresome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 My pal John has a daytime dog that is THE most accident prone dog ive ever known, she has more stitches than a patchwork quilt. When she gets stitched up now she just rolls over and lets you get on wit it Her problem is she tries too hard, has no reverse gear and doesnt know her limits... When you see her try to clear a barbed wire fence, with another at the far side of the hedge, you just cringe FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 GTO, I take her out and give her a chance, but I've not got permission or anything like that so our outings are hit and miss really. Plus, I failed miserably with her on the stock breaking thing so I have to be careful where I take her. She's very responsive if I take her out lamping, listens really well etc., but we just don't get many chances. She is one of those 110% dogs - commits wholeheartedly to everything she does, and is so keen she scares me. And she's lightening fast. It's because of that she's always torn up. I could get a degree in wound care thanks to this mutt She's got a lovely bald patch on her throat where it made contact with the fence It's a wonder she didn't break her neck!

I suppose I'm in awe of her really ... but she doesn't half wind me up with her mishaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Some lovely photos there That is one mad bitch though... I think if she was mine I'd hardly dare let her off the lead That's a fairly hefty rail she broke, she must be pretty tough. I hope she does make it to old bones, but it looks like it'll be a miracle unless she switches the brain on occasionally! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 The thing is MMT, what's a dog's life on the end of a lead? I have to be really careful with her, wherever we go. The whippet is easier, and stock trained, and I can relax more with him. But with her, I have to risk assess every place I let her off. But let her off I do. Quite simply, I'd rather she enjoy her life than be protected from it. If she were to die young in an accident one thing is certain: she'd die happy. The only one who would struggle with that circumstance is me; she'd know nothing but good fun and the fact that I love the bones of her. I'd rather that than a long life of boredom on the end of a lead. I do take precautions but I still take the risks with her. She's mad as a bag of hammers but she's mine and I think she rocks How boring it would be to stand around on a lead all the time when you know you can run like the wind. That would be torture.

collie/grey 238 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Your bitch must be made of steel!! That looked to be a good whack and it looked like a strong plank to! I always cringe when my dogs run about and jump stuff! I bet she kills you off before she does herself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
