Jake has long had elbow issues, arthritic in both and as he is ageing and his skin is becoming thinner they've also begun to lose hair and become dry and a bit calloused. We've been using lotions and potions, and he has seen a vet obvs, but because he chooses to lie on a stone floor rather than his beds some of the time they were not improving. I have just bought him some memory foam and sheepskin elbow protectors. They're machine washable, padded and and a genius idea to not only cushion his arthritic joints but to also protect the skin from further damage. I have no links to the seller, just wanted to share with those of you with elderly dogs. www.dogcoats-direct.co.uk, although I bought them from their eBay shop. ??

This reminds me of when my brain gets stuck on a certain type of solution in a crossword, sometimes when I finally understand what the answer is, it feels so obvious I can't understand why I didn't think about it much earlier.

One elbow protection on each side + an adjustable elastic string between them, such an obvious solution. Once you see it.

Jake looks as if he is patiently waiting for you to finish with your picture taking, so he can go to sleep.

Exactly this! He was so much more settled last night. He also looks devilishly handsome wearing them ???
