Finally had a chance to go over the documentary PROOF, and everything looks good. I did re-upload the corrected spline text (our fault, not theirs), and am waiting to hear back from them. I told them once they receive it, we are good to go. FINALLY!
As always, will keep everyone posted.
Much love,

More news!!!
I am supposed to talk to Ed Pittarelli, who works as Dean, Program Development, Learning Technologies, and Process Improvement Bergen Community College. He wants to talk to me via conference call on July 14th, with another colleague of his. This is in regards to having the documentary aired via their public tv station, Torch TV.
This is such a thrill to even have the possibility of doing so. Oh my gosh.

Well, it's finally come to fruition! As of last night, I have given the publisher the "thumbs-up", and we're ready to rock-n-roll! As you can imagine, I am so excited and can hardly believe the day is here.

Dear M1
Just ordered my copy through the link you sent. I will of course need it signed after it arrives so I'll mail it to you then and include the cost of return shipping. Congratulations from Nigel and Dogdaddy!

Thank YOU!!!! It's great to be able to share this with everyone. I know how long everyone was waiting. Too long! But I hope it will be worth the wait. I just want to make sure my vets are happy and will always be remembered.

One thing I'd like to say...being able to produce in three segments, allows me to start generating some sales, which in turn will tremendously help me pay the remainder of my current (and future) bills, since I wasn't able to procure any grants, or corporate sponsorship.
As of right now, I still owe my voice-over talents close to $800.00, and I repeat, I sure appreciate your patience during the production. I was very lucky to find people who were willing to work with me and agree to get receive partial payments. I am GRATEFUL!

Wanted to thank the more than three dozen people who have emailed me in the last few hours. Just awesome. I sure appreciate hearing from you guys. You made my day. It ain't no fun unless you have a bunch of people to share in the joy!

Well Marion,
It's been almost six years since I found your website and called up Dad to let him about it. A lot has happened since I signed on and I don't have the words now to tell how I felt about reading the news today. I wish I could have been a little more help because I know how hard it was at times but any way,you know I was behind you all the way and I just want to say, you did good for the guys.

I just ordered several dozen, so I can send them out to many of the vets, and some other special people. I should have the DVD's by next Friday, and will ship them out then.

I apologize to everyone who is having problems purchasing a copy, and in fact, I just sent a letter to the company telling them about your frustrations. At least half the people making purchases yesterday, wrote to me and were ready to pull out their hair.
When I went in last night to purchase 50 copies, I spent FIVE MINUTES going around in circles between the shipping and billing screens, until I finally hit the NEW PROFILE button, or whatever the hell it was called. THAT actually took me to the screen where I typed in my credit card info. I've never encountered anything like this. I'm a computer consultant and if it was frustrating for me.... ![]()
I hope this will be modified in the near future, for several of you got so mad you gave up and wrote to me to ask if I could send a copy to your home. Of course I will do this, but the idea of having it for sale via a company, is supposed to take all this off my hands, not make more work for me.
Well, will wait and see how they respond. Sigh!
