Run over at the dog park

I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF LADY GETTING RUN
OVER AT THE DOG PARK, SO THIS WILL HAVE TO DO.
Lady had a rough time today at the dog park. She was standing around when two younger and bigger (and more active) dogs ran into her bottom. This happens to her now and then, but her reaction was stronger than normal.

She spun and went down and let out a loud YIPE! Crying all the way, she staggered up and limped badly to where I was sitting on a bench. She spent the next few minutes clearly afraid that she'd be hurt again, so I took her to the small-dog side.

Naturally, within minutes all of the humans present took their dogs and left.

Strangely, she was limping worse last week than she is now.

Update: Lady was limping slightly today, the day after she got hurt. We walked a little bit around the neighborhood, and she seemed happy with that.

Update: Because of her limp, I haven't taken her to the dog park but maybe once in a couple of weeks. She doesn't want to get into the van.
