Beatrice broke her leg when she jumped off the couch,about a year and a half ago,just a couple of weeks before her 1st birthday. We are so careful now with both of them.She had to wear a collar when we left her alone so she wouldn't take the bandage off. She is perfectly fine now....we have a wonderful orthopedic surgeon.
The closures are like 2 straps that fir through 2 D-rings and then snap on to themselves.
By the way, I took a chance and left the collar on for 6 hours, while I was at work. I was a bit nervous about it ,but when I got home it was still on,and no wraps were touched ........yippee !!! I am so happy,now he will keep his wraps in from week to week.I used to just keep him wrapped on the days that I was home,but even when we'd go out for an hour or two he'd take about half of them out.Beatrice leaves her's in and never bothers with them.
Thanks Jenny

and yes Nancy,now being beautiful doesn't have to be painful LOL great phrase !!
Thanks again Bo,I'm really liking this collar !!!!
