Shouldn't be funny but!!!!!

[muddyjames]

Today my Mum came and visited me at my house. I have 2 full length glass patio doors andmy Mums dog is 14 years old.

Dog, Mum and I were out in the garden and we came in. Mums dog loves to be in the garden and watch the birds fly by etc. This time she wanted to come in too and didn't realise the door was shut and hopped up to jump the little ledge into the house to come in and she hit the door full on bless her  :oops:  I saw the whole head hitting the door followed by the legs etc. It looked like a car crumpling in an accident. Thankfully she is ok and no damage done. It may have knocked some sence into her! :?

She looked very shocked on why she just hit something. She was inteligent enough not to try again or go and try the door next to it and later on in the garden she didnt jump to come in, she walked up to it and put her paw out to see if there was anything there. This time the door was open so was very funny to see her slowly walking forward and trying to paw the door until she was inside :lol: If only I took photos of her doing this.

Our dog has done this before a long time ago, shouldn't laugh it was funny though :lol: .He never did it again, he his still as daft as ever and he is nearly 12.
Hope your mum's dog is ok, shame you never got any pics :lol:

I didnt think she was going to jump up as at her own house the back door is glass but 2 panels unlike mine and she has never hit it. When I saw her paw go up I thought she was going to paw the door as she does at home and then bark to come in. Silly dog!!!!!

Awwww bless! I hope you gave her a big hug.

[muddyjames]

I did indeed give her a big hug. I could sence she felt a bit daft and she lay down (well more like flopped) behind the sofafor a few minutes and then came bac out and wanted a hug and she doesn't normally ask for hugs.

that is her a few years ago before she became deaf after a bad ear infection!!

She is gorgeous, I love collies, they hate looking stoopid don't they. I have one but he's not very bright really. Right now he's staring at the cat waiting for it to run about, like the cat cares!

[muddyjames]

My mums is far from bright too bless her.

We rescued her 11 years ago and she hadher head under the back gate trying to get out all day as the people who used to own her had a kid that screamed all day and she wasnever allowed off the lead on walks.

She hates all kids under 5 years old and most dogs too. We did have another dog who changed her ways very quickly as he kept on going up to her n trying to play but she didnt want any of it at first and then she actauly liked the idea of playing!!! She took a chunk out the side of him in the car once coz he moved to close to her!!

She has improved greatly since we got her thank fully. She is nearly 100% deaf, her sight isnt as it used to be, and she has had arthritis for 11 years too but yet she still acts like a puppy throwing her toys around etc. Mad as a hatter that dog :D

[Cate]

Sounds like you've worked wonders with her, some collies can be so damaged by previous experiences they can't be helped... I know, I had one. Look after her, they are so precious.

[muddyjames]

It was mainly our other dog who worked the wonders. She did need some serious telling off when she stole things like a whole gammon joint.

Only time she eats people now is when we lift her into the car and get it wrong and it hurts her back legs with the artritis in. Its a fair cop so we let her off those nips!!!

I had a rescue collie that was 9 months old, it had gotten a bitch pregnant and she kept attacking him, i couldnt keep him though as i lived in the centre of town and he needed some serious running space, so now he lives with me mother down south in a little village surrounded by fields.  But he is still really scared of other dogs and people :(
