Gus was running in zoomie mode..and around the corner he comes..just as I got up..
I heard him coming but did not see him in time..and wack into my legs..
they are truly solid..really solid..lol
I got a bit of bruise starting here and Gus ..is fine..
but wow never really knew HOW STRONG or solid they are..
UNTIL ONE HITS YOU...dead on..
glad I am not a little person I would have got flattened..lol
OUUUUUUUUUUUUCHHHHHHHHHHH.
sorry the pic is so large, Photobucket won't let me resize.
I have never been so "roughed up" as with this dog...
he has ran into and bruised my legs several times, accidently gave me a puncture wound while playing with a toy, jumped up and came down on my little toe, broke it I know.

But I also have to say, I have never had a bond like this with any other animal, and there have been many. I love him fiercely and would do anything for him.
YOU are really LUCKY..could have been much worse..
Gus had no problems either..
just continued as usual
but he did feel guilty..
he knew something happened..he was laying beside me with those sad eyes..like I am soo sorry MOM..
but you were really lucky
if that had been inside the house..
you could have ended up much worse..
A 50 pound Missile..that made me laugh..but HOW TRUE IT IS..
they are super strong.
this is the next day now and I am really bruised..
I could see him hurting a child and not meaning too...
I could also see them hurting a senior citizen if they hit them that hard too..
YOU really do need to STAY OUT OF THE way of a zooming bully..lol
and clear out of the way..
I wish that I had seen Gus coming..
a deaf bully did not help in this situation yesterday either..
oh well live and learn and move on..
no big deal
thanks Pat....these bullies can be little tanks at times!
way to cute....Yea I know....I have a strong strong bond...
with Gus too.
he got me good yesterday....still hurts..lol but it will heal
he did not mean it..part of being a bulldog I think..
he is my shadow more so then Bella...he is always underfoot..great bulldog
great pic of your bulldog..
lovely looking dog..
Roxy knocked me down completely
Last summer, I was walking outside down the side yard, which is sloped. Roxy came barrelling around the corner & I did not get out to the way. She hit me in the lower legs & my legs were completely knocked out from under me. I landed on my back & hips very hard. My head also hit the ground very hard. I wondered for a moment if I had a concussion!! Luckily I was on the grass. Anything else & I would have had a serious problem! My husband said Roxy did let out a bit of a squeek, since I fell backwards over her, but she was fine a moment later. Silly dog!
Thas why we ask prospective adoptees in Rescue,,,
if they have small children. Alot of them think its because they may eat them, or whatever, but actually, as I tell folks, if a perfectly good bullie gets excited and starts racing around with the zoomies, a 50 lb missile, can take out a 50-70lb child. Not excluding em, just informing.
Perserverance isn't a long race.
It's a series of short races,
ran one after the other.
-In memory of Casper
YOU too Penny...good thing I had nothing special planned tonight
no big deal
he is going to zoomie around the house at times..and Deaf he can not hear me STOP..lol.
