Onto the fun news.

As you all know we had to close down due to unfortunate circumstances.

Life took a wild turn and threw a major curve ball, leading to a ripple effect of decision making on my behalf.

I admit I tend to take on more than I can handle at times, believing I'm some extraordinary work horse who can do it all.

Which in turn, this can lead to disaster if executed poorly. On which I did.

But with that said, I've had a year of reflection, grown in more ways than one, and after a long thought, have decided to reopen the business but on a much, much smaller scale.

The details are to be announced in time.

I've missed the business, the friends, the people, the animals, everything, and although it'll never be what it once was, I can atleast still contribute what I can to do my part in the animal world.

Mainly focusing on sitting type jobs, walking will not be a focus as of yet, the store will remain closed as will the food.

The sitting will mainly be check ins and visitations, but regardless, all details will be posted in due time.

We'll have a new payment system, using invoices to track everything more efficiently and lead to a more stable income/refund system with a digital trail.

Small step back into the world, something to atleast help and still get my dog fix in.

I'll have more reliable help this time around, me and one other person to tackle the reopening.

All bx based only for the moment, unless we can quote larger jobs towards orange and surrounding areas.

I have missed you all, i hope to hear from you all soon.

ComixCanines will be back

29/01/2025

I've really missed alot in the year we've been gone.

My phone has been blowing up with notifications regarding a previous business associate and their business. Articles have been published and apparent videos circulating of animal abuse.

We posted a video about said associate showcasing their miraculous record of "most dogs walked at once" and at the time it was an astonishing feat, only now the comments have turnt into slander and for what seems an appropriate reason.

I appreciate no one lashing out at us here at ComixCanines as we were just at the time posting and connecting with other animal businesses in Australia, it's truly devastating if these stories are all true.

I've seen the business in question has recently closed, all socials have been deleted but the website still remains.

In further news, stay tuned for some exciting developments.

I have missed you all and the world of dogs in my absence.

Love you all, thank you for everything you did for us, I hope to see you all again someday

Paw-esome news for Aussie pet owners! 🐶🐱✈

Virgin Airlines has announced it will allow pets in cabins on all domestic flights in an Australian first.

It's been a while. There's alot to say, so please, read this post till the end....

I've been thinking long and hard, I've come to the conclusion we'll be needing to close the walking, sitting and the website will not be effected, but comixcanines will not be operating like it once used to.

I've given everything to this business over the last 4 years and in that period my personal life has drastically gotten worse, I am not doing well mentally, but will be okay. This is unfortunately making me unable to fully pursue my dream and a vision I once would give anything to see fulfilled.

The start of this year through a dumb mistake, I lost my licence, which stopped me from being able to get out to walk, this lead many clients leaving because the walking would no longer be me, I tried building a team, but new clients and old were preferring me and managing a team while trying to focus on my own personal life seemed near impossible to juggle, even for me.

I can't get a home due to refusing to get rid of my dogs, I've had to go back to the work force and I've lost a majority of my income now to not being able to operate the business.

I've given everything to this dream, I've gone above and beyond to do everything in my power with limited resources to help dogs and better the animal world, I like to think I've made an impact and this wasn't all for nothing, I've lost almost everything due to fighting for my beliefs and I wouldn't change that for the world.

Now, I won't be done forever, just need to stabilise my life and get myself back to a point where I am safe to operate again without disappointing myself and others.

As stated before, I'll still be doing sitting, always here for you to reach out too, and will predominantly be doing content creation and ecom now until I can open the services again.

I personally will be over at KhyG-S focusing on my body building and a new dream which is a little easier to fulfill with this chapter of my life I'm in.

I will always advocate for dogs, always be the first person to fight the good fight, but for now, I need to focus on me to make sure I don't hit rock bottom.

To everyone over the years who made my dream a reality, I'll never be able to repay you, you all made my life perfect for 4 years, allowing me to do things I never thought possible and meet so many people.

Love you all, forever and always.

Barking Dogs | What should I do before contacting Council 🐾

Attempt to resolve the situation by raising the issue with the dog owner. Remember, the dog owner may not be aware the dog is barking, particularly in their absence.

Be courteous. Sometimes the dog owner may not know how to go about fixing the problem, so be prepared to assist with helpful information. Be specific. Tell your neighbour if the dog is barking at certain times or at certain things and give them the opportunity to rectify the situation.

Patience and tolerance from both parties is important whilst attempting to resolve these issues. Animal noise nuisances often come about from underlying behavioural issues which cannot be fixed overnight.

If you come upon a dog barking excessively, follow Council’s guide - https://www.bathurst.nsw.gov.au/Services/Animals-Pets/Barking-Dogs

Hard life being a dog😅🐶

19/01/2024

This first clip for the site will be up tonight!

While I'll be out walking where I can, I'll mainly be focusing on the "online" side of things.

If I seem rude or quiet in person, it's just the usual, I'm running off 4 hours sleep, 2000mg of caffeinate and 16 hour work days.

You all know the drill now 🥲🤣

So excited for this new design to hopefully show off what we have to offer 🙏🐶

Walking is back up as of today!

I've tried to reach out to some of the walkers to let them know, but everyone is likely busy, which is understandable!

Make sure you've signed up to the site so we can contact you more efficiently for everything service related!

https://comixcanines.com/account/login

As soon as anyone asks to "Book" a service, they'll be given a digital form to fill out and then directed to the site to make an account.

We'll then reach out with a confirmation and get started!

For all your dog needs, ComixCanines is here. We are a local small business with a plethora of goods and services available!.

⭐️QUICK REMINDER⭐️

All sitting jobs must be paid before commencement date.

We have had many instances unfortunately where people have booked us, jobs been done and no contact there after.

Now making it hard on our end.

We are working on a new system to work around these type of scenarios and more others like it.

But for now, it's a firm rule we must enforce until we have our new system operating.

04/01/2024

With the amount of pet sitting requests now coming in, we've made a bookings page on the website.

This will make it much easier for the team to monitor all requests for walking and sitting, giving us all the information required before we start and you guys all the information on sitting, all in one place.

Come have a look below:

Back to track now the sitting has died down and has started getting quieter in the new year!

Khy will be officially back in the field more often, we look forward to seeing him back doing what he loves.

Here's to 2024, let's get back on track

26/12/2023

Well that's Christmas over isn't it!

Been a wild few weeks, finally had a moment to sit down.

I just want to say I'm sorry if I seemed down, tired and drained, we have had that many sitting jobs come in it's absolutely crazy and I'm so grateful.

We've have also been quiet on socials as it's just been non-stop, rest assured we will get back to any DMs soon, just focusing on what's important, the dogs.

2024 will be amazing as we learn from lessons that have occurred this year, obstacles on which we have gained knowledge and insight from.

It's also my birthday tomorrow, which will be quite hectic as I have to work both jobs and find time for family aswell as all my online/social media work, never ends.

Let's smash this year out, put it in the past and make something phenomenal from the lessons God has given us.

Love you all,
Thank you for another amazing year,
ComixCanines

Merry Xmas all and a happy new year!

Hope everyone spoils their pooch and there's nothing but wagging tails and full tums🥰

Love from,
The ComixCanines family!

21/12/2023

⭐️UPDATE⭐️

Alright, so another update regarding sitting and minding.

All job prices will remain, but the meet n greets will have a price jump already to equate for time and fuel.

These will now be $15 for under 30 minutes and $30 for upto an hour.

Out of town or further than 6km from BOA of sitter will be a small fee of $10.

All this will be in our new sitting form and updated on our website.

We hate to have to do this, but with the sheer amount of time we give to our passion leaves us with little time to ourselves, it's a small price to pay to see the happy pooches out there.

We hope you can understand

Thank you,
The ComixCanines Team
