This was the result of my 18 month-old GSD chasing his 4 month-old playmate around the backyard.

Attachment 53478

He lets her run and get a little ahead then chases after her. This time she ran around our trampoline and he cut under the trampoline to head her off. He got hung up on two of the bolts holding one leg of the trampoline enclosure onto the trampoline frame.

I was getting ready to leave on a three-day motorcycle trip but cancelled my plans since calming the wife down, getting him to the vet, making sure he woke up after, and then taking down the trampoline (our girls are grown) took the rest of the day.

Don't go crazy, but check your dog's play area for hazards. After this happened I took a quick look around and found several other things that could have snagged them, all were easily corrected.

I'm upset I hadn't done so earlier, although I doubt I would have considered those particular bolts a hazard.

Oh man. That sucks. Dogs are resilient, but man that had to feel horrible. Glad he's all fixed up.

Thanks. We tried to get by without doing the cone of shame thing, but he's been licking/picking at it and broken a stictch or two, so back to the vet for the cone. Seems to bother us more than it bothers him.

No doubt about it, pups will get into anything and everything. Human eye height matters little, you need to get down low to see what those critters will get into.

Here is the little girl from earlier this year when we were playing in the mountains in the melting snow....

Every day is special dog day around here, and I've got a feeling it is at yours as well.

Me and Coondog out for a walk. Some of the simplest things in life I find the most rewarding.

I posted about my buddy Elmer last year back on page 1. Elmer passed on Sunday after a 14 year run as my most loyal and trusted companion. Not looking for sympathy, I want y'all to hug your dogs, rub their belly's and cherish them...

Sorry for your loss, and if it helps, I took your advice.
