Today just wasn’t my day, so my ability to think clearly and make logical decisions is not the best. Objectively, I know sleeptime for dogs is important and that I should not have disturbed it.

I could not sleep and by trying to get water, I accidentally woke my dog. He refused to get more sleep, so I just decided to check his commands.

It went well. We played a bit, he obeyed voiceless commands and all was well. I accidentally signed the “sit” command when I looked elsewhere and was caught offguard by him obeying.

This led to me gasping in excitement and leaning forward to praise and pet him, but he got excited and jumped up, knocking his skull straight into my teeth.

He is absolutely fine, but my gum is a bit swollen, as well as a headache caused by one of my teeth feeling as if it was thrusted back into my head. There’s almost no blood, though.

TL;DR: I went in to praise my dog, but he jumped at the same time and knocked his head against my teeth. It hurts.
