      We've done all that PLUS put the heating pad on Buddy's feet (usually 
under the blanket we've wrapped around his feet and ankles).  Buddy says 
that this helps UNTIL he unwraps his feet from the heating pad .... then 
he's cold all over again .... It's funny how an injury in your neck and/or 
back will make your feet and ankles so cold, isn't it ??
