Onyx showed up on my doorstep almost 4 years ago on Christmas Eve. She was small enough to fit on the palm of my hand, but I could tell she was a lab mix and was going to be pretty large. I wanted to find her another home, but my son and my then husband wanted her to stay.

Of course now she stays with me. :P She and I are not a good match but she is sweet and lies on my feet most of the time.

I was trying to trim her nails when she reared back and clocked me in the chin. Have a non-displaced fracture of the mandible. Luckily, it does not need to be wired, but I can't chew and it hurts. Talking is better today.

Silly thing has no idea what went wrong. She never noticed a thing. :P

Ouch! Sorry SQ :(

Reminds me of our first dog, Lindsay... a 75 pound German Shorthaired Pointer we got from the GSP Rescue when my son was 5. They were rolling around on the floor, playing, when she accidently scratched him in the eye. Luckily his eye wasn't injured, just a scratch on the lid, and of course Lindsay didn't know anything was wrong! :P

Owwie! I'm sorry. :(
I've never had a broken jaw before. Does this mean you can't chew for 6 weeks? Not being able to eat= losing weight=why couldn't you have broken your jaw during bikini season? ;)

Six weeks? I had jaw surgery to fix an underbite a very long time ago. I have lots of recipes for food through a straw, if you're interested. Of course, they're all from the early 80s, and ingredients and thinking about nutrition has changed a lot, since then.

Good luck.

My dog gave me a black eye once. That was embarassing to explain at work.
