Dogs who comfort pain need pajamas too

Actually this is an email I received from Nancy at “Pawsforcomfort”, who contacted me a while ago about dog pajamas  at my site for her xolo dogs.  I think one of them was allergic to cotton.  For that reason and the fact that I myself have fibromyalgia, I wanted everyone to know what these wonderful dogs do go people with fibromyalgia and other pain issues. So I am quoting her whole email here for you. The dogs are absolutely wonderful.  Almost before you realize your pain, the dog goes to the right spot and covers it with his body.
