My first minecart accident.

The *maple minecart* strikes the Stray Dog in the lower body, bruising the muscle and bruising the guts!
The Stray Dog looks sick!
The Stray Dog's left front leg skids along the ground, bruising the muscle!
The Stray Dog's right front leg skids along the ground, bruising the muscle!
The Stray Dog vomits.
The Stray Dog slams into an obstacle
The Stray Dog retches.
The stray Dog vomits.
The Stray Dog stands up.
The Stray Dog is no longer stunned.
The Stray Dog vomits.

On the bright side, that proves I have managed to figure out the interface to use the things. I've now marked the track as 'restricted' instead of 'low traffic'. That won't help with the dogs of course.

Hm... you know, running the track through my temporary meeting room was a particularly dorfy facepalm-worthy thing to do.

I like the way you say "accident" as if it were an actual accident.  Let's be honest with ourselves here.

Aaand... my first dorf casualty. Let's see if they're less lethal when pushed instead of ridden.

Unless the tantrum spiral gets me first. My other miner is "attending meeting"

So, the minecart smacked the dog in the arse, and the dog flew through the air and landed on it's chest/front/face and slid along the ground.
Painful.

My first minecart push of all time smashed up a puppy.

Has Toady coded in some sort of suicidial tendency regarding canines and carts?

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.

Aren't you designating the tracks as restricted traffic zones?

Nope, I'm using carts and dwarven genetics to breed a super-dodging population.

EDIT: just checked, and as promised by Toady, tracks are auto-designated as Low but not Restricted.  However, don't pets ignore traffic zones?

Ah, yeah, you're right. They do that. Tightly closed doors, then?
