does anyone else have a super clumsy dog?

i swear willow hurts herself once a day from doing flips, sliding into chairs, missing a step, something!

is this something she will grow out of? a puppy thing?

Yeah, it's a puppy thing. We had an incident once where Korra was sitting on a chair, decided to chase her tail, obviously fell over backwards when she tugged on it, causing her to fall off the chair and startle herself, and the cry in public. I swear people thought I was abusing my puppy, she just bawled for a good 15 seconds. She was fine though, just startled haha.
Once she was chasing a toy and got distracted, rammed head-first into a wall, and...well, see above. (She likes drama..)
Willow just has a case of the puppy clumsies. It's cute!

Sophie is very clumsy, she slips and runs into things a lot.

LOL!!! okay glad it's not just my girl.

Willow also does the scream bloody murder thing & she's always fine. just startled. i think she likes drama as well

lol, Sophie isn't the brightest husky in the pack so she just looks around like "What just happened?" and continues on.

Karli was super clumsy. I don't know how many times she bashed her head into something from running head first into it. She wouldn't even yelp, just keep going like nothing happened. It did help her to be super quick though, she can turn like no other now. Although I think she forgets how big her butt is and still smacks that on things from time to time. Don't know how many times she's flipped herself over. Silly puppies!!

Loki as pup would run out the sliding glass door and run into the screen. Now he is constantly hitting his head on the coffee table and falling off the couch when he sleeps. Doesn't even faze him.

Mishka is always slipping and sliding and running into things. He flips himself when he runs around in the yard too. It's so funny.

Saphire still has her moments. She trips over her own two feet, she runs into things, she falls off the couch, she tries to walk under things that are too low for her and hits her head, falls over randomly etc.

I guess this is one of the things that surprised me the most about owning a husky. You would think they would have to be very coordinated to pull sleds and the like. And nothing I ever read in preparing to get a husky said anything about being clumsy. LOL

LOL! i know i read books on huskies before ever getting one. it never mentioned the clumsiness. haha it's somewhat entertaining at times though.

One day I was walking Lycus as a pup and he pulled suddenly and the leash slipped and he ran off. He ended up tripping over nothing and that's how I caught up to him

All three of my Huskies are clumsy....as puppy's and adults!!
They've all bumped into chairs, people, and eachother.
Karma has fallen off the stairs, Kato trips over Khloe,...their all just a bunch of klutz!!

Idk, maybe it's a husky thing!!

lol! maybe so!!! its just hilarious how clumsy mine is! and she's only 10 weeks old (tomorrow).

I know sometimes it looks painful when they do get hurt, but you can't help but laugh at them.
I honestly can say they are entertaining. hahaha

i know! she always runs to me crying and climbs in my lap while i comfort her & calm her down... but then i giggle after i see she is just fine.

Nanook always runs into the door because he builds up too much speed before reaching the tile part of the floor and can't stop in time.
Luci runs into stuff all the time because she just doesn't pay attention. Maybe one day she'll knock some sense into herself, but no luck with that so far.

Usually Cain will freak out and run a lap in the house occasionally tripping on chairs in the kitchen, it's kind of weird because he gets these sudden bursts of energy out of nowhere.

Selena gets the random bursts of energy too and goes completely psycho in the house. Runs like a maniac..in circles, on and off the couch, into the kitchens chairs, sometimes the walls lol, on the fireplace or into the fireplace door (good thing we don't use it!)...She will do it for like 5 minutes then be huffing and puffing afterwards. She is constantly falling over or what I find the funniest is when all four of her legs go out and she lands on her belly just laying there LOL nothing phases her though!

haha basically what Cain does!

Sheba is ridiculous. When her and Kennedy get going...watch out. She doesn't care what is in her way, she will hit it full force and keep going. She also likes to throw toys up in the air and just chases them where ever they end up. She is also a drama queen when she gets hurt...even though she does it to herself!!! When she was a puppy, she would do anything to keep from being held. She once jumped out of my arms and slammed into the wall. Screamed bloody murder for what seemed like FOREVER. Then of course, she was fine. Then this past week, she got the zoomies on her leash and tried to jump up on me to give me kisses and fell on the ice or something like that. All I know is I thought she had broke her fricken back and I was scared to death. After about 30 seconds of making the scariest noise I have ever heard..she was fine. These dogs, I tell ya.

lol they're crazy aren't they! but I love it drama & all.

One day Luna was shaking her stuff ducked back in forth in her mouth and I mean she was shaking it hard. But I don't know if she just decided to let go or if it slipped out or what, but next thing I knew the duck was flying through the air and landed on top of the fridge in the fruit bowl. I was amazed! Ha ha!

The first day we met Loki at the shelter, we were playing with him and running around and chasing eachother, when suddenly, Loki trips on AIR and FACEPLANTS into the ground, gets up and continues running. I think it was that moment we fell in love with him. He's such a dork.

He still runs into the mirror and sliding glass door in the apartment. hahaha.

They have their own unique way of being clumsy and cute at the same time.
