Well I got a bunch of emails yesterday and once again thanks so much for all you kind words.
I also got a few questions, some coming up more than others. I decided to make another video to answer these as it seemed to go down well last time.
The video is just below. I hope you enjoy it and make sure, whatever you do, you check your email tomorrow.
See you then,
Richard

Hi There,
This is just a short video I put together so people could see how I give my dogs a bit of attention and massage their ears. Specifically with the older one in the video during a yeast infection. Doing this when he was in pain gave him a lot of comfort. I could see that he liked it, make sure your dog is comfortable with doing this too. If not just stroke his/her belly and chest, this releaes plessure endorphins in dogs, as does any comfort, and will at least help the dog to be calmer.
Look out for tomorrows video, I’ll be covering a lot more ground then!
All the best and good luck,
Richard

Wow…Thank you all so much for the fantastic book title suggestions. I really had an enormous struggle to come up with a winner and I have to say the amount of high quality titles given to me frankly embarassed me that I was so unable to to come up with my own suggestion!
I had originally planned to get the results out this Sunday but by the time I went to bed I was no closer than I was in the morning. Having said that I had got it down to the final two. It was no better this morning either but my man induced indecision had to be put to one side and I finally picked a winner!
Again thank you everyone for your suggestions, you have all really helped me out. But there can be only one winner and that is……(drum roll)……
Jamie Aranda with “Yeast No More. A Guide To A Happy Dog With Healthy Ears.”
Congratulations Jamie! Your book and the free goodies that come with it will be sent to you asap. I also decided to have a second place prize (which I need to decide on) for Dan Baron for his great suggestion. You two we’re very close. Having said that every suggestion entered was a definate potential, they were all that good.
As I said In the email I have an extract from the new book and a new technique I have yet to share with you. Please note I have not tested this on my dogs because of their lack of yeast infections now! However this was recommended to me by a number of people including a vet. It’s been used for years on humans with great effect and it apparently has the same effect on dogs. It’s called “Pau D’arco” and I hope I didn’t butcher the name there! Below is the extract from the book. Please note there’s a lot more in the book and it’s not long now!
“A lot of health food shops sell “anti-microbials” to help us humans fight yeast infections. Take a look at “Pau D’arco”. Candida Albicans which is responsible for yeast infections has been wiped out in tests by the Pau D’arco herb and has been used to treat humans for years. Clinical studies have showed strong activity against bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Ask you vet before feeding your pets any herbal remedies but do look into this as it attacks the yeast infection at it’s root.”
Ok thats all. I have recommended this to some friends and one used this last week on a mild yeast infection with very fast results. Anyway thank you all so much once again for your great suggestions and thank you all for the lovely comments I’ve had via email. It’s been very touching,
Warmest regards as always to both you and your dog/s

Hello everyone,
I think I now have, just about all the comments on the blog and emails compiled and the decision making has begun. And let me tell you it’s difficult!
Before I had brain freeze over what to call the dog yeast book, if that was bad now I’m really confused with all these fantastic suggestions! But thats a nice problem to have. I’ll let people carry on tonight, then tommorrow I will decide our winner!
Stay tuned for the results!
Richard
