Murph Gave Me A BLACK EYE!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I've never had a black eye before....I do now.  Last night Murph started feeling better and got the zoomies.  Guinness just wasn't in the mood for that, so he hid under our bed.  Murph was jumping on and off the bed while racing around the upstairs like a lunatic.  I bent down because I wanted to coax Guinness out, and just as I did this Murph hurled himself off the bed and his head hit mine.  I went literally flying across the room, glasses off and bent, and landed in a heap.  That's when my face started swelling up.  I yelled for DH (crying like a baby because it hurt BAD).  Murph was just fine though....didn't hurt his head at all.  So now the eye is swollen and black.  It looks like I've done nine rounds.  I'm mortified to go out....everyone will surely think "domestic dispute".  Murphy, Murphy, Murphy, what am I going to do with you!  He did understand that something was really wrong with his Mom though because he was very "attentive" after the "incident".

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Jane, I hope you feel better soon. Murphy is far too young to be involved in a domestic dispute :) I think this is a good excuse to go get some really cool shades. Black eyes are the worst!

[Leslie and Halas]

Ouch!  I hope the swelling and bruising doesn't last too long.  I think we may need to see a picture.

Oh man! Ouch! Last night when I got home from work I was having duncan do tricks...He was so excited because i had some high value treats that when I asked him for his paw he flung it at me and whacked my cheek. It was so funny. i have a small scratch....NOTHING like a black eye though. I hope your eye heals quickly and I'm sure Murph is prepared for repenting with lots of doodle kisses

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Oh no!  I am glad you are okay!  I can imagine Murph becoming concerned for you - they know when they hurt you. I tripped over Peri once and she came right over.  They know.

[Carol and Banjo]

Uh huh...yep....the dog you say...sure........seems Murphy gets blamed for everything these days.... (JK!)      Ouchie....that must have been some collision!   I hope it's just a matter of time before the swelling and bruising goes away.   I'm glad you didn't have any bodily injuries Jane!

[Paul & Michele]

Oh no!!  Hope you are feeling better really soon..

[F, Calla & Luca]

I am so sorry to hear of your accident. I have almost had similar head bumping outcomes. Hoping for a speedy  recovery.

[Phoebe's Mom]

Hope you feel beter soon!  When Phoebe was a puppy I was on my knees petting her when she jumped op suddenly and and hit me right under my chin resulting in my tooth going through my tongue!  The moral of the story is...beware of excited doodles!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Ouch! I hope your eye heals fast...

[Sharon & Monty]

Oweee. Sorry your eye is messed up. Get out a pair of shades.
