I have begun to delve into canine comfort. Having a 120lb dog freaking out in the middle of the night is just not something I enjoy. Some versions of the freaking dog may involve the vet, or some sort of event luke the up-and-coming 4th of July.
I have made weighted blankets for children and adults who have needed the comfort. Whether it be caused by autism, hyoer sensitivity, restless leg ayndrom, weight therapy, and just because they are comfortable. I have seen them do wonders and thought why not try it to calm a dog?
I tried using a weighted blanket on Edison during a storm and it helped. It got a little hot because I used a personal one, fleece and flannel. I have begun the process of picking material and planning out how to make the blankets last. I have thought of a few ways to make blankets upgradable with just some snaps and such, and even water ressistant.
Edison's physical therapist seemed intrigued by the idea. I may make a prototype and shoot it her way to try out.it should be fun either way to see what I end up with.
