My entry in to the dumbest injury Ive ever gotten series
About 5 years ago we adopted a 3 year old Pitt Bull.
Im screwing around wrestling with him, but Im also wondering what my kids up to(a constant state for the parent of a boy) and the dog jerks his head back. He catches me right in the kisser. Ive done 30 years of one form of martial combat or another. I have never seen a lip busted this bad.Especially on an impact wound. The back of his head literally busted my lip from the bottom of my nose all the way down and it spread completely open almost a half inch wide.And I should have known better,I was taught how to train dogs,and was told that with a head heavy dog,even if your playing,pay attention to their head more then anything.
Here's the problem,I had to work the wife to get her to let me adopt a Pitt as a dog(I like the breed),the dog hadnt done anything wrong,we were just playing around. But I dont want the dog to get in to trouble. My wife caught me in the bathroom trying to hold my lip back together. Even then I wouldnt go to the doctor because I was more worried about the dog getting in to trouble for me being a dork and not paying attention,so I had her drive to the Pharmacy to pick up some butterflies to hold it shut that way.
Even though I have a suprisingly small scar from it,I pay way more attention if I want to wrestle around with the dog
