Vail-based skiing champ Lindsey Vonn loves to share her life on social media.

Note the way she documented her relationship with golf superstar Tiger Woods beginning in 2013, not to mention her announcement regarding the couple's inevitable breakup earlier this year.

But she's set a new personal TMI standard via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts documenting ugly looking injuries to her hand meted out by her own pets.

Our guess: If Vonn had to choose between another dog bite and more knee injuries of the sort that kept her out of the 2014 Olympics, she'd happily let her canines chow down on her again.
