My Stylish Elbow Protector

Now as some of may know I am a total "HE" dog and refuse to sleep on any doggie beds, furniture and anything soft. I just love the cold tiles - no matter what the time of year and when I am outside I like to bask on the concrete patio. Over the years this has caused my elbows to become calloused (they even have a special name for it - hygromas) and the left one in particular has got pretty bad. Mom has tried all kinds of ointments and such to help soften it or harden it but none have really worked. With my recent foot issues I have been laying on it more heavily and it has become very sore....... so Dad went on line and after much searching found me this stylish doggie elbow protector. It is made from neoprene so it is very soft and flexible and also allows my skin to breath which Mom says is important. We had read that it is hard to keep the elbow area covered and many such protectors tend to slip down but this works like a charm and I am having no issues with it at all. Best of all - it arrived just in time for my birthday yesterday and I have been wearing it ever since (Mom does take it off every few hours just to give me a break from it ) but I must say I am finding it very comfortable.

  13. I think it is a Sheltie "thing" to not sleep on anything soft or in beds. I know Eva the Sheltie sleeps on the floor, Dakota does and many others. Dakota only has one bed he will sometimes sleep on and it is very thin and is kept under the coffee table. I think it comes from Shelties taking their security jobs very seriously and they are always on high alert!! That being said, those protectors look like they will do the job! DakotasDen

  20. We like you elbow protector. Mom asked Dr. Karen about me wearing an elbow brace for the sprain, and she said no. Mom is going to show this to her and ask again. :)
