Since Tucker has springs on his feet and can jump up without forewarning that he is coming, I've had the same type of head on crashes. Seems more likely than not, I get them in the teeth. With Hannah the disaster is more her using my bare legs as traction when she takes a running leap from my lap. However, the most serious injuries used to come from before we had our fence. I would take Hannah outside with a long rope trailing her. She could run and play but if she ever tried to make a break for it, I could run and step on the long rope. Unfortunately, at times she would whip around me and I would get a rope burn on my legs from the dirty rope that had been trailing on the ground. I had some nasty infections from those.

However we have thus far all survived, although my husband keeps warning me I am going to catch something from *kissing those dogs*.
