Slamming into you

[Niladog]

Does anyone's Boxer run full speed into them? My Boxer mix has knocked me down three times! She gets all wound up at the park and does "crop circles" around us, but she has slammed in to both my husband and me on more than one occasion. She is normally very docile, so I don't think she is doing it on purpose - but I am starting to wonder. I'm sure it looks funny, but 65lbs of barreling Boxer smarts!:confused:

It 's normal for me. You have to learn to side step like a bullfighter at the last minute so they can't change course. It's all fun for the dog. It's real bad with several Boxers because you side step one and another gets you. Ouch!

Joe has not done it yet, but I am always on the look out for it!:D I tell everyone who comes outside to play with to never take their eyes off of Joe. When he starts his crazy Boxer burns we all plaster ourselves up agains a wall of the house for extra support!! Crazy dogs, ya just gotta love them!

I have been knocked down plenty by two bulldozin' boxers and I've required medical attention twice!!:eek:

You ought to see me scamper to get out of their way now! I'm sure that looks funny, too!

At the dog park, boxers as the reputation to bump into people. And mine are no an exception!:D

Oskar is pretty good with me. I'm very tiny and he doesn't play too rough with me. Hubby is over 6foot and Oskar runs into him! I guess he knows size!

Oh yes... been there, done that.

My knee use to creak going up the stairs until Magnum slammed into my leg one day and ever since then, no creaking.

Been there myself. I guess they figure if you don't move your going down.

Our Joe does that but it's usually when we are sitting down. We leave the door cracked when he goes outside & you better not be standing there when he comes in. He looks like he is running 70 mph when he comes in the door. Scares the s**t out of the cats. LOL.

Mason does this too! He normaly doesn't run into you but it has happened on occassion. Usually he looks like he is about to run into you but just misses by an inch or two.
