Celebrating its 18th year as an advocate for family values!

We were just informed on May 1, 2009 that our book ”My Buddy Butch – Confessions of a New Dog Dad” has been awarded the prestigious ”Dove Family Approved Seal” from the Dove Foundation. In its 18th year as an advocate of family values in entertainment, The Dove Foundation has worked to encourage and promote the creation, production, distribution and consumption of wholesome entertainment. The Dove foundation is recognized by well over 50 million Americans as the “Keeper of the seal” and a trusted source for the kinds of entertainment that all family members can enjoy together with confidence.

My Buddy Butch Wins Dove Award!

Choosing only about 220 books, dvds, cds, and movies each year, we are proud and honored to be included with over 4000 others and in the company of such recognized names as Disney, Dreamworks, 20th Century Fox, Nicolas Cage, Miley Cirus, Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogan, Hugh Laurie, and Steve Martin among many others. It has long been the goal of Jeff Marginean and JEMAR Entertainment to provide a highly entertaining product that can be enjoyed by the entire family. This “vote of confidence” by the Dove foundation reinforces our march toward that goal with the My Buddy Butch series of books. As we move toward film rights negotiations we will keep our commitment to “family approved” entertainment firmly in the forefront of any resulting product while hoping to procure many more Dove Foundation Awards!

Heloise has a great "Pet of the Week" section and Pet tips for all!

 

 

HELOISE! That name has been a household word for years and we are proud to have her as a guest. She is one of the most trusted sources for helping people and pets anywhere! Her column “Hints from Heloise” is syndicated in over 500 newspapers in the USA and around the world running 7 days each week. There are not many of us that have not received a newspaper cutting from a parent or friend about some helpful tip that Heloise has written about which directly addresses a need we may have had. Join us as Heloise discusses helpful hints for caring for our pets and talks about her own furry family members and the care that she has given them over the years. She give us great tips that you wouldn’t normally think of. She is as delightful to talk to as her column is to read. She made me feel as if I was getting advice from my own sister! Chek out the “Pet of the Week!” section on her Web Site.
