HAPPY THURSDAY 😊🐶💚

06/11/2024

Before it’s business as usual tomorrow, I want to say a proper thank you to everyone who has messaged, emailed and called.
Our wonderful customers, our wonderful friends and families and also, other amazing business owners.
I had people I didn’t even know calling to offer help. 🥹
I didn’t respond to everyone because it’s been a lot. I can promise you we are more motivated to be the best than ever and we were already pretty motivated.
I want to thank my staff for supporting me and being so bloody amazing! Past and present❤️
That’s my Oscar speech over. We can’t wait to see you all in the coming days and weeks.
Power to the dogs 🐾💕,

Update on daycare. This has been a rollercoster and I’m exhausted but I have some crazy news.
The landlord text me very late last night and asked if I wanted to meet this morning to discuss the lease, which we did.
I’m pretty sure it was because he saw all your incredible messages of love and support and knew we had something special. ❤️
We will be open tomorrow. 🥳
There will be a considerable increase in our rates and I understand this will be hard for a lot of you which is where this all began.
This is bitter sweet for me as I fought for this not to happen… but lost.
The Aunties are over the moon that we can continue looking after your dogs and I can’t thank you all enough.
We are all very humbled by your support.
See you tomorrow doggos 🐾💕

I’m completely devastated to have to say that K9to5 is now closed. The landlord would not renew the lease and has demanded we are out by 5PM tomorrow Wednesday 6 November.
Thank you all for your support and I’m so sorry 😢

Monday and Tuesday kiddos 🐶🧡 Thank you everyone for your support🥰

Hi guys. My lawyer has written to his lawyer and we are now waiting on a response.
My lawyers words were ‘he has me over a barrel’.
I’ve said I would agree to the rent increase so now waiting to hear back. I will post on here when it is sorted.
Meantime, we are open as per usual unless I let you know differently.
Thank you again everyone. It really hurt me to agree to the increase because he’s such an as**at but I feel it’s the only thing to do so we can move on and be positive 🐾💕

I can’t thank you all enough for your overwhelming support on here and your messages and emails.
You don’t know how much it means to myself and my team.
They have messaged me saying how amazed they are by your comments and love.
Hopefully I have more answers after tomorrow morning.
Thank you again ❤️

Hi K9to5 Community
This is quite the post so hang in there.
As some of you will know, I have been battling with the landlord over a very large rent increase and I want to let you know where I am at with it.
On 7 October F’n’G Dogs (my company) went into voluntary liquidation due to unpaid taxes. This was a build up from covid days. I tried my best to get on top of it but the penalties were huge. I started to make a dent and then I got a huge GST bill which I thought it was an error, but it was GST on the subsidies received during covid and I lost the battle.
I want to make it clear I didn’t owe anyone else money. The rent was up to date and all the bills paid, just taxes owing to the IRD, and I was still trying to pay them.
I have a personal guarantee over the lease so even though the business had gone into liquidation, I was going to be personally liable for paying the rent. The liquidator told me it was perfectly legal for me to set up a new company to continue operating so I could meet my lease obligations.
I had explained all this to the landlord, and he said he was happy to negotiate a lease with my new company. I went ahead and set up the new company. I made cutbacks at work, shortened hours and let two of my staff go which we all cried about. We knew it had to be done to continue operating.
Then when it came to the new lease, the landlord put the rent up 17%. There was no negotiating and when I tried to, he said full amount or leave building. Both my accountant and lawyer said it was an unreasonable amount and not to pay it. My accountant said it would ruin me and I would be right back where I started.
The property manager who I deal with, tried her best to get the owner to negotiate but instead on 24 October he said, pay full amount or be out of the building 31 October or, give a date you will be gone. My lawyer said he had to give me a months’ notice even with no lease in place.
Last Monday I wrote him an email saying my lawyer advised he needed to give me a months’ notice, but I still wanted to negotiate the lease. My accountant and lawyer were both expecting him to come back and negotiate as they thought no one would want an empty building in this financial climate.
I was waiting to hear back from him when last night, (Friday night), at 5.10pm, when it was too late to contact my lawyer, I was served an eviction notice and given three working days to get out of the building, with yesterday being one of those days.
I will be going to my lawyer first thing Monday morning but in the meantime, I felt I needed to let you all know where I am at because I really don’t know what is going to happen this week.
The girls and I are devasted. I have considered caving and meeting his huge increase. The customers I have spoken to have been so supportive and amazing and have said put up the rates, we will pay it we want you to stay. I don’t know if this option has been taken away from me yet, it is something I will discuss with my lawyer. My accountant will kill me.
So, there it is. In this industry, the people we meet become much more than $$ signs. We become emotionally attached to their dogs and therefore the families as well. We really care about all of you, and I am trying my best to sort this mess out. I will keep you all posted.

Ending the week with some great photos. We hope everyone has a great weekend🐶🐾☀️
