Title: Dangers of Zoomies on wet grass
Post by: MIN on December 09, 2015, 06:07:35 PM: Poor Gemma is nursing a grazed chin.
She was zooming on the grass when she lost her footing and slid along a path on her chin :fear2: for about 5 foot before getting herself back on her feet and continuing with out batting an eyelid or losing speed . Little speedster :luv:

I'm not surprised they get bumps and scrapes the speed that they go and how fast they can change directions. Cockers seem to have no sense of fear at all.

Hope Gemma feels better soon.

Post by: Ernies mum on December 12, 2015, 06:37:42 PM: Bless little Genma , glad it's only a little scrape . sometimes I try not to look when Ernie goes into crazy zoomie mode , last week we were walking along footpath where there are old straw bales along edge of field . He had a crazy moment jumped onto the top of the huge round bale , ran at full speed along the line off them ( there were about 5/6 ) , jumped off the end & then did another lap ... Funny and terrifying to watch all at the same time !!

Funniest I ever saw that was similar was when Bosley went to jump in his favourite large puddle on the park (one that's there all year round) but it had iced over, so I saw him go skidding on his backside across it - he was more confused than anything bless him (was his 1st ice) LOL
