The dog was perhaps 8 metres away from me. She was stooped facing me, peeing with one leg lifted slightly off the ground. She was staring at me all the while, a glimmer in her eyes, a roguish smile. I looked on. She was done. And then she launched toward me. A hurricane of a dog barreling closer and closer. Closing in. 5 metres. 3 metres. Half metre away from me, she veered off to the right.

Love that! Zoomies!!!
Kyla
With a smile, no less.
weliveinaflat
It was definitely a “plotting something” smile :D
weliveinaflat
Wow, that’s what it’s called? I didn’t even know there is a term for it :P *dog idiot now goes off to read up on the stuff*
rubytheblacklabrador
bend the knees!
weliveinaflat
Hey? Come again?
rubytheblacklabrador
bend your knees and brace for impact…that way you won’t get wiped out by a dog!
weliveinaflat
Thankfully, she is not that big and heavy to wipe me out at 15kg. Though have to say, I wasn’t nimble enough to escape the body slams….
rubytheblacklabrador
Ruby is 30kg of solid muscle (?) and it hurts when she hits my legs!
weliveinaflat
Woah, I think Ruby will totally knock me off my feet!!! Wow, I hope you don’t get hit that often, sounds painful for sure… despite her.. questionable muscles :P
rubytheblacklabrador
Have had one major hit and had physio for a month afterwards – really hurt my knee. they always seem to play at your feet when they have the whole park to rumble in…
weliveinaflat
Omg that’s awful! I hope you are all recovered now and do not suffer from any residue pain! Need to get like a captain America shield around the legs to defend you from ruby’s shenanigans!
rubytheblacklabrador
Yes am completed recovered. Two people in our park had knee reconstructions though in separate incidents!
weliveinaflat
That sounds like such accidents may be pretty common! When we got Donna, I was still working on the recovery of my fractured foot from falling off a flight of stairs… a double whammy from a dog would have been horrendous… even walking her at that time was literally a pain… which was why one of her first commands was “slow” XD Am glad you have completely recovered. I still sometimes walk up with a stiff foot and limp until it warms up these days… = =

Would you have any issue with me quoting you with this line “Two people in our park had knee reconstructions though in separate incidents!” in tonight’s post… The post is about zoomies and how body slams by a larger, heavier dog than Donna can lead to human injuries. Thanks!
rubytheblacklabrador
No probs – go for it!
weliveinaflat
Awesome thanks :)
Sonel
Looks like you and Donna both had lots of fun Mrs. P. Beautiful photo’s of her as usual hon. :D *hugs*
weliveinaflat
Oh yes, take her to a place where she can run freely and sniff at stinky spots and she’s in doggy heaven :P Hope you weekend has been a good one too :)
Sonel
LOL! That sounds familiar. :D
Been a bit busy and tired today but it’s been good. Thanks for the lovely wishes and hope yours are great Mrs. P. :D *hugs*
weliveinaflat
Ah, sounds like a good time to take things easy and relax a bit then :)
Sonel
It’s cloudy and cool here today so yes, I am just going to relax. :D
weliveinaflat
That sounds the perfect weather! It’s cloudy over here but still dazzling bright and hot D: Go, have fun now :)
2browndawgs
Sounds like fun!
ILoveDogs
Sike! Did Donna know it was a game or did she feel threatened?
weliveinaflat
I had to look up “sike” and it says: The immediately preceding statement is false and was told to mislead.
I think she thinks it’s a great game :D… when she feels threatened, her reaction is always to shrink back and curl into a ball and pretend she doesn’t exist. Kind of hard for a 15kg black dog to accomplish… not exist I mean :P
