    Good point about being insured. My dog, Lady, knocked my OH over and broke her leg badly to the extent she has a plate in her leg now. If it had been a stranger .....

    Just an accident. Most of the time they miss your leg by several fractions of an inch. ;D

    I bend my knees in a position that looks like I'm skiing when I hear thunder paws behind me, this means dogs crashing into me don't knock me over even if they make contact (my friend says it actually looks like I'm having a wee - humph! ::) )

    I am always very vigilant when dogs are running around together. My daughter was wiped out once from Harley and a black lab, luckily she was only winded. I am very very cautious due to my neck problems - if things get too much I get Harley to come to me and ask the owner to grab their dog and explain about my neck.
    Accidents will happen unfortunately, especially as labs are big dogs!

    Must remember to walk permanently with knees bent as if I am dying to have a wee, as dogs can suddenly come up from behind with no warning :D
