Yes, I officially have a busted lip. Guess who did it? My furry pal, Brady. I am talking busted: swollen, blood, pain, the whole works. How? Well, that is a very good question b/c I can't even be sure myself how it happened.
I let him in from going out to the bathroom, and he bounds in a bit excited but he didn't seem OVER-exhuberant. Well, apparently I was VERY wrong about that. Well, I kind of did a little jog for about THREE steps into the living room and I guess he was wound up enough to take that as "play/run as fast as you can at the stairs and bounce back towards the couch" time. Well, I happened to be sitting on the couch right as he turned towards the couch from the stairs. Now he is FAST and he is BIG and the stairs are a short distance from the couch. Right as I am sitting I see him coming and I duck my head a bit b/c I notice he sees me sitting and he can NOT stop. So instead of doing his little jump onto the couch he decides to try to jump higher to clear me. Well, normally he is a great jumper and I have even thought about entering him in agility for how good he does in jumping. Not THIS time. His back doggie knee went right into my bottom lip. PAIN and blood. And a big fat bottom lip. Wow it hurt. I have never had one before. Now it just kind of stings and it is still big and busted looking, but it doesn't hurt like it did at first.
So, sorry this is so long, but I never had one before, and I never would have thought the dog would sock me one so good. But he got me...
