That's fair enough, but I did work very hard on the photo guides, and do feel like these are now not good enough.

Oh no, some people do prefer the picture route, My wife cant stand video tutorials and would find that a nightmare trying to watch and then do.

She would just get stressed, where as you give her a book or a photo slide show type thing and she would be so much happier and find it a lot easier to follow.

I was think it would go more a side by side with yours, or as a back up to it.

Not at all Doris! They're invaluable. Some people work better with pictures, others with videos. It depends what you're doing I guess. And not everyne can or wants to stream video anyway - lots of people are technophobic these days, and pictures do them just fine! For me personally, a lot of things I pick up with picture guides, but occasionally I like to see someone actually doing it, such as nail clipping for example. I remember I had to see my vet do it first before I even attempted it. Other stuff like sexing is easier with pictures for me to see. If we did add videos it would just be to give people a choice, not to replace any of your guides - that'll never happen!

I can only do picture guides too - can't seem to take things in that quickly. And yes I am one of those technophobes

Your guides are and have been extremely useful to members Doris and I'm sure will continue to be so

I can see why a video might be of use to others though for certain procedures

I'm very much a 'visual learner' and found the photo-guides absoultely fabulous for washing Sgt's bits and bobs (took alot of courage just to look at the pigtures with Meg's encouragement so not sure how I would have been if it had been video plus sound effects )

I'd like to thank Doris for her time and thoughtfulness in preparing these as they have been a god-send to the uninitiated like myself (always having had sows in the past, bloke's bits were a bit of an unknown territory - if you know what I mean!!)
