Some Coming Changes

We’re always trying to improve our website for you and in the coming weeks you might notice some changes that we are preparing to make.

Our video distribution channel, Blip.tv has made some changes in how they format the videos we put online and we’ll be revising our existing pages to reflect that. You will still be able to watch for free and download for free and, yes, you are still encouraged to share these videos everywhere and anywhere you can.

Our work on the Ruffus The Dog Christmas Carol continues – and we’re preparing to shoot New Short Episodes. That’s right – all new shows for exclusive online release. As we get closer to our release dates we’ll be sure to let you know more. The print-to-order storybooks and audio books are also in preparation for a fall release.

We are also planning on having a few live online broadcasts with Ruffus from the Bookshop, where he (and his friends) will read silly stories & poems and answer any chat questions you might have. In addition to this we are hoping to be able to make special video birthday greetings from Ruffus. When we think we’re ready to try this we’ll provide an email link so birthday information can be sent to Ruffus and he will then post his special and personalized birthday greeting.

So stay tuned! There’s more great Ruffus stuff on the way.

P.S. Our mission is to keep Ruffus The Dog online for you. If you enjoy our shows and would like to see more please click on the PayPal donation link and contribute what you can. Every little bit helps. You can also help by purchasing items from The Store.

We have been considering setting up a subscription fee for our new shows but we’d really prefer releasing them so everybody can enjoy them. Feel free to send us an email and let us know how you feel about our work and how we can make the online Ruffus experience better. Thanks!

While we work to get the show itself finished – here’s a holiday gift from us to you.

This song, composed and performed by JP Houston, is a very catchy and heartfelt tune that deserves to be heard by everyone. Please feel free to share this song with everyone you know.

Happy Holidays.

Behind The Scenes – A Christmas Carol

Our release of “Ruffus The Dog’s Christmas Carol” has been delayed to ensure we can give you the best production possible. Our shoot went extraordinarily well and the music from our composer, JP Houston, is outstanding.

We’re eager to show you what we’ve been up to these past few weeks but you’ll just have to be patient as we put the finishing touches on the show.

In the meantime, here’s a short “Behind-TheScenes” video put together by one of our talented puppeteers, Ben Deutsch from video and photos he shot with his wife, Tatiana Hernandez, who also worked on the show.

We’ll be posting more behind-the-scenes videos, photos and interviews over the coming months. And there are still some of the original episodes we haven’t released online yet!

As soon as we can we’ll be announcing the release date for “Ruffus The Dog’s Christmas Carol”.

Happy Holidays.
