but she could have diiiieeed!
She just likes fetching things... like I said I normally take out one of her toys to throw... just this case I forgot and threw sticks instead! *edit* so when I say I won't throw sticks... I won't... I will throw her toy ball and things instead  She is being spoiled rotten today now! |

I tried to think of a nice way of saying this....but I'm better at being blunt
 She's a dog, she'll chase sticks and whilst out playing will sometimes get hurt. That's what dogs do. I know it's not nice seeing an animal in pain, especially when it's your pet, but she'll recover and she'll be fine. Don't stop throwing sticks for her.

I knew someone who lost a dog to it - threw an (unfortunately pointy) stick, dog ran after it, and it ended up in the dogs neck. After hearing that none of our dogs have had sticks thrown for them, just toys. Doesn't take anything away from the dog and they're less likely to get hurt. I can understand people doing it but after that our folks threatened us with pain of death if we ever threw sticks. [edit]Sorry if that comes across as scaremongering Pheebs, I didnt mean it to be There'll be plenty of dogs out there safely playing with sticks, and accidents will always happen in life.

A dog will take a football to the face point blank and still go after the rebound. They're made of strong stuff!

I used to swear that our old dog Ben would always run himself to death. He was an old man, but he would always chase his ball, no matter how many times you threw it or how far. Sometimes he's quite obviously be completely shattered and he'd just chase anything for the hell of it.
Tough as old boots he was. Retired sheep dog

My sisters dogs don't do sticks, they have branches about 3ft long and 7 inches in diameter they run after (from the log pile we had after chopping down a tree, no pointy ends) and strip the bark off. Anything smaller than that and they aren't interested.
