Honest, I didn’t mean to. Mom took me to the dog park to train me outside of the park. Then, because I was really good and there were only nice doggies in the dog park, she let me go inside and play with them. She was being really careful because when I was little I was attacked by mean dogs several times. Anyhow, I met some new friends and was having lots of fun running around with them, and in general, just being happy puppies.
While we were racing around, I decided to head back to Mom to check on her. All of my new friends were following me right on my tail. I was running fast because they were a lot bigger than me (!!) and I wanted to show them that being a lightweight (105 pounds) has it’s advantages. Anyhow, Mom was busy talking to her new friends and didn’t see us coming and we all crashed into her. It was kinda cool because I learned that when you hit Mom hard enough she actually knows how to fly! Wow! She flew right over our heads. I think my friends were impressed.
Mom wasn’t able to stand up for some reason, so I stayed right by her. I was worried about her because a bunch of people ran over to be near her and I didn’t know them, so I was staying by her so she would feel better.
Now Mom can’t walk very good, and she can’t even take me for walkies or play with me. Dad said I have to be extra careful around her for a long time. I miss our walkies!
Oh yeah, we were just getting ready to go on a trip to help our family out. Mom’s going to have to drive over 2,000 miles with her big boo boo, too. At least Dad will be there too, so he can play with me when we get there and at rest stops. He’ll be in a big truck and Mom in a car. The others in our family will be in more cars.
Mom said we probably will not be able to post any updates while we are gone, so this blog will be on vacation until we get back. I’m looking forward to telling you all about my lonnnnnnng trip when I get back, tho. This is my first time going on such a long trip.
♥ Behr Behr, at Mom’s side protecting her from more boo boos for now.
note from Behr Behr’s mom: the people at the dog park added up the dog’s weights and figured I got hit with over 400 pounds of fast moving fur coated football players
Tackled by a line backer, maybe? Anyhow, I have partially torn all the tendons in my knee, and the MCL is partially torn loose from the tibia bone. Ouch, with a capital “O”. I’ll be getting it fixed after I get back (doc said they can’t do anything right now anyhow because of swelling and other issues). Meanwhile, I’m stuck in a metal brace and limping badly
We’ll update when we get back.

Oh boy! When he was a puppy Tucker took out my father while having brain cramps around the house, and he only weighs about 40lbs! I can’t imagine getting hit with ten times that weight!

Oh my goodness, how awful! Glad you weren’t hospitalised or anything, though. I haven’t been hit by Honey – somehow, I’m the only person she ALWAYS veers around!
but I can relate because she did smack right into a friend of mine while playing with her dog and sent my friend flying through the air too! My friend ended up havign to go to hospital and get X-rays and wear a neck bracee for weeks!
Looking forward to hearing all about your big holiday – we will miss you!!

Ouch sounds right! I have been hit only by ONE and that hurt – knocked me on my back at the beach! At least you had some sympathy after they ran you over! Hopefully you got a few doggy love licks in!

I am sending sympathetic woo-woo’s to your mom. Let her know that we are wishing her a speedy recovery. My friend Sherlock’s mom was wearing flip-flops at the dog park and Sherlock hit her toe with his gigantic stick. She lost all of her big toe nail. Triple ouches! The humans are not as resilient as we are for some strange reason. Take care of your humans.:-)

Hi. I blog for Alexander Reykjavik on http://www.DumboDane.com. I saw your blog on Mr. Darcy’s.
Believe it or not, on June 15thth, my 130 pound Great Dane slammed into my knee from the side while he was playing with his girlfriend, another Dane. Completely tore my MCL as well, but nothing else. Just popped the knee straight inward. I was lucky, no surgery! I have been wearing a brace constantly for 2 months. Just got it off on Monday, the 3rd. I am running again and healing fast, but I won’t be allowed to play with the big dogs without a brace for some time. Good luck with your healing. There is light a the end of the tunnel.

Kind of funny to find this blog, as my yellow lab ran in to my knee while chasing her jack russell friend “Psycho”. I just finished six weeks on crutches, and am looking forward to two months of physical therapy while I attempt to heal a compression fracture of the tibea. I guess it could have been way worse, but still can’t believe these stories. Perhaps we can start a support group….for people who still love the ones that break them.
Good luck to you all, and look forward to following the adventures of Behr.

Mmm hope ur leg is up and healing love.

My main thing is on the beaches here, chels will come as close as she can, at full speed but not hit me…. totally intentional…

hope you heal fast
