Happy 2024 friends.
I’ll keep this post short and sweet.
Effective Monday, January 8, 2024, at 2:16 AM, JC & Paws are permanently closing their doors.
I apologize and I want you to know, I appreciate the ones who let me into their homes and get to know their fur babies. If I could, I would do it all again.
So with that, this is the last post and I will be deleting this page very soon, so Thank you and Much Love, JC

Happy Birthday to ME! Chapter 25 has officially began! This year had a lot… a LOT of challenges that I had to overcome, and I did. I’m actually speechless because I have overcame more things this year that I think I’ve ever had to do before. I don’t have any updates to give yet about Jackson, I’m scared of the answer that I will get, but just know that a disability whether it be a mental, physical or etc., your disability does not define you. YOU are more than your diagnosis/disability. That’s been the hardest thing… is to not get in my head and say oh Jacob, this is your disability and that is what everyone is going to see now. Sooooooo….. on to happy terms.. I’m 25… half of a century old, What? 25 is going to be my year, whether that be good or not. We are going to own it. But please be gentle with me, because 24… woah buddy you almost broke me. For my birthday/Christmas, I need donations for my car. It’s going to take a chunk of change to get it back on the road and everything. I need a lot more but right now, my car is #1, as soon as I get that fixed, I can get on the road again and start doing something to get income. If you would like- my Venmo is Jacob-Conklin-27. Anything and everything is appreciated, but just saying happy birthday is more than you know this year, because honestly guys for a minute, I was so ready to throw the towel in, but my goal was to survive each and every day and I AM STILL HERE! So here’s to 25, and a good year!

Happy December, you guys! It’s here, the holidays are here, and we got some updates to share so buckle up.

Without giving too much away, I have created 2 Plans for the future, because I’m in between a rock and a hard place financially and mentally.

Plan A- Everything gets accepted with Jackson, and I will be able to fix my car and start maybe doing Spark Driver and start JC & Paws up but can only pay with cash this time. I’ll also find myself a part time job somewhere where I can tolerate it like at a nutrition store.

Plan B- Also Jackson said I now have to wait until January then it might be March until I even get anything, so more patience that I don’t have. Jackson says no, I will have to put my Venmo and cashapp up here for car donations because honestly I have no clue what else to do. I have literally tried everything in between. Get my car fixed with the donations and start up on TikTok as my new source of income and maybe even become a twitch streamer.

Guys, I don’t want to do plan b but I mean I got to do something. Good vibes and prayers please for Jackson to see that I’m not making my diagnosis up.

I am happy that I thought about Plan B, and I don’t want to ask people for money. You can ask my mom, it’s like pulling teeth. I feel like I need to be independent and that’s all cool and stuff but it’s also cool to ask for help when you need it.

My intrusive thoughts are very loud and ignorant, and I’m trying so hard not to listen to them also.

With that being said, I will see you in 2024! Thank you for being here and cheering me on! Holidays are stressful, please give yourself some grace and a break when you need it.

I will put my Venmo and CashApp in the comment section below probably in January if I don’t hear anything back. As I said, I literally don’t know what else to do, I have done everything possible and still nothing.

I’m going to make it though, one way or another! We’re all in this together, right Wildcats?

But just wanted to say I do have a plan if things turn south, so anyways see you in 2024!

Happy Holidays,
JC 🫶🏻

Happy Thanksgiving from JC to you and all your furry family members! Will be posting a more personal gratitude post on my personal page not here. I’m attempting to stop using this page as my personal blog so if you would like it’s under Jacob Conklin.

11/07/2023

Hi everyone again, so I need to kinda update everyone again, I’ve been needing to post this for ever and I get in my head and say no. Well today, that answer is yes.

The real reason for my unemployment in June was yes my car but there’s also a side that you don’t know. I had a car accident, I’m ok, the car is ok, but it definitely scared the mess out of me. My brakes went out on me, Thank goodness there was no cars, but I crashed into a bush and the rest is basically history. It was an accident, but knowing that I could have actually killed my self that day scared me so I stopped driving. I got my brakes fixed, and still I used an excuse saying “I still can’t drive because of no ac” and let’s be honest here, it was HOT 🥵 but I still could have worked but I didn’t.

I have a car that is almost older than me, needs a lot of work and maintenance, like the ac/heat and a big leaning wheel that is also expensive to fix.

I think I’m probably going to put a down payment on a new car if I receive the funds I need.

Hard part- I was diagnosed with a autism spectrum disorder in 2019 and tried forever to block it out but recently me and my family have made the decision to apply for disability, and in 2-3 weeks I will have an answer, and this could be the biggest blessing or curse. I’m still in my head about it.

I have tried about everything you can try to receive money and it just doesn’t work.

JC & Paws is coming back in the future and I can’t wait!

I have plans with a TikTok business account where I can potentially earn a little income to keep the business going.

My dream of becoming the best pet sitter in Mississippi is not over, it just began!

Thank you guys! You are the reason JC & Paws is what it is today!

Hi everyone, I’m making two posts today, one is to promote a wonderful incredible person on TikTok who has a huge heart for animals just like me and I will be making a post about a return of JC & Paws maybe in the future. Just know JC & Paws 2 or 3.0 will be so much better hopefully, because I got plans but we will see.

Anyways, I joined TikTok in September, never thought I would say that because I personally thought that TikTok was a waste of time and energy, and now I’m obsessed. If you are an animal lover like myself and like baby animals, then have I got a treat for you.

Her name on social media is Nola Kitten Nursery and she is AMAZING! Her work and her heart for animals is overwhelming, I wish everyone had the heart for animals like she does. She also shows the good, bad, and yes ugly parts of animal rescue and handling a kitten neonatal nursery. She does great videos on her babies, and I believe you will really enjoy her content if you are an animal lover like me. She usually goes on TikTok live at 8pm central, so pop in, say hi, and come meet adorable baby animals.

I guarantee you that you won’t want to miss it, plus she has PUPPIES! 🐶

Carly, Thank you for all you do 🫶🏻

Hi everyone, it has been a minute. I’ve been needing to update you on everything, so here it is. Before I start, Thank you to the ones who have asked is JC & Paws coming back and am I okay, I really do appreciate it! I promise I’m not ignoring you, if you know how depression is, you know it never stops.

First I want to answer, Jacob how are you doing? We miss your posts.
Thank you for reaching out and checking in, seriously you all are awesome to still be here with me through every high and low.
I’m surviving, it’s been a struggle every single day, but I’m here and I can’t give up. I have so many questions like Why am I dealing with what I’m dealing with? What have I done that was so bad to have caused this situation to happen?
I’m hopeful I can get back to posting soon, I hate to say this, but money would solve all my problems right now. I’m working on benefits behind the scenes so hopefully something will change soon.

Second, I need a sitter in a few months and you was the best sitter we had, so are you JC & Paws coming back?
I can’t give you an definite answer at this time. I love doing what I did. I loved every pet I sat like mine. I would absolutely 1000% want to continue JC & Paws, but I really don’t know. Because of you and your support from the beginning to now, I really want to come back but we will have to see.

Last, Jacob, I’m sorry that you are going through this.
Thank you for seeing me but I feel like I put myself here. As I said, hopefully things will change.

For me to start pet sitting again-
Money to get auto insurance and money to fix my leaning wheel and AC/Heat system or a new vehicle, but like I said it is what it is.

Thank you to each and everyone of you, I know I’m not the happiest, but I’m here. I really do appreciate you sticking with me through all the ups and downs with me. It has been one whole rollercoaster ride, hasn’t it?

Thank you, Much love
JC 💙
Talk soon hopefully

08/01/2023

Hi 👋 I know it has been two months since I’ve came on here and said anything and I believe you guys need an explanation because without you, I would have closed way sooner than I did.

First off, Hey y’all! I missed you, How was everyone’s summer? Did you stay hydrated and inside? Pop Quiz lol: Barbie or Oppenheimer or Both? Let’s see some pictures for Dog Days of Summer.

Second off, I’m not going to lie and sugarcoat this by saying, oh yeah I’m just rainbows and unicorns and doing fine because we both know that is a lie. I don’t feel comfortable airing all my dirty laundry but I will say I’m going through a lot right now financially, mentally, and emotionally. The one thing I do want to say is this is not a pity party post, this is a catch up post. I’m a fighter, I have fought many battles which were unseen by most, but I have survived every day, and I’m going to keep surviving. One day, I’m going to get there, but today is not that day.

Third off, JC & Paws is still closed until further notice, I hope very soon I can have another update for you, just know that I loved and miss being a pet sitter and it hurts knowing that the door might be closing.

I am a overcomer and will come out of this better on the other side.

Thank you for the messages lately, I’m sorry if I didn’t respond, as I said most days I’m lucky if I move from the bed to the recliner.

Much love,
JC

Big post-it is totally fine if you don’t read it, I’m feeling all the emotions getting ready to actually write this but it is time.

Dear JC & Paws,
Wow, Bud, 2 years and a few months. You have gave me so much confidence that I didn’t even know I had. With my crippling anxiety and depression, it can be very difficult on days to get up and do drop ins or meet and greets. I have made excuses just so I don’t have to say, I’m having a bad day. But you, you have taught me that I can literally live out my dream job. Believe it or not, you have helped me with my anxiety and depression. You have taught me that having a small business is hard work and lots of responsibilities but Jacob, YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS! ❤️ JC & Paws, you have given me the chance to meet the most caring and loving pet sitters which have became my 2nd family! You have given me the chance to meet and care of many dogs and cats, from the elderly to special needs to spunky and everything in between. I am humbled beyond words can express how grateful that I got to be a part of my lifelong dream! You have not been the easiest, but you have also been the most amazing job I will probably ever have in my lifetime. You have helped me open up and be authentic. You have instilled into me that there are good people in this world and not everyone is out to get you. You and me have been through a long journey together of self love and discovery, and learning to love pets one paw at a time. JC & Paws, you will always be my baby! I love you and Thank you for everything, the journey, the pets, the people, the love, everything. Because of you, I am on the way of loving myself again and accepting me that I am a lot at times but that’s ok. Most importantly, I CAN DO HARD THINGS! JC & Paws is closing its door permanently starting June 12th, 2023.

Dear clients/followers:
I have issued all my refunds and cancelled all my future sits. To all of you, Thank you. Thank you for liking this page and listening to me. Thank you for caring about me and my journey. Thank you for sticking around through all the ups and downs. Thank you for getting the word out and telling your family, friends, and etc. Thank you for letting me into your home’s psychically and emotionally. Thank you for the support. Thank you for the love. Thank you for the opportunity of a lifetime to start my own pet business, even though it wasn’t a success like I prayed for, I had the best time. Thank you for letting me get to know you, You are now my 2nd family, thank you for letting me know your dogs and cats and sit for you. I have enjoyed every moment of it, but it is time that I close the doors and start another path. I will be deleting the page on Monday. You can follow me or like my profile Jacob Conklin.

I’m on the verge of tears so let me wrap this up, Thank you for everything, I seriously could not have made it as long as I did without the love and support.

I have a lot of things relating to my car and my house right now that I’m focusing on then I will be delivering DoorDash and working as a Spark Driver until I find another job.

This new journey is scary and stressful but I CAN DO HARD THINGS!

Thank you, and please give your fur baby a kiss for me, and my clients, I want pictures and updates monthly please. Your pets are apart of my family as well.

Much love and always loving pets one paw at a time,
JC ❤️‍🩹

These are some pictures of the pets I took care of and the River of tears is coming..

To Cocoa, Lily, Theo, Po, Hobby, Khalesi, Puggy, Winston, and the names go but here are a few.
I hope you know that I love you and pray for you to have a happy life with plenty of kisses and treats.

God was with me this morning
I feel like one thousand knots in my stomach
On top of a leaning wheel that is literally falling off at the seams, no AC in my car, still dealing with water damage from my hot water heater, and everything in between.
I came very close to death this morning, my brakes decided to stop working today and thankfully I crashed into a bush. It could have been so much worse.
Anxiety is at a breaking point, my life literally flashed upon my eyes.
I’m trying to remind myself that I’m still young and things will get better ❤️‍🩹
JC & Paws is closed until further notice

05/30/2023

Hi everyone, how is everyone doing? This is a short update today to update my prices and update my calendar on availability.

Remember, last post I made I said there was like 3 or 4 days with a Rover booking that was pending, well unfortunately their plans changed so I’m available now during that week. Please refer to last post to check.

Price Change- These new prices will take effect June 1st, 2023.
Daily Drop in visits-$25
Daily walks-$30
Doggy Day Care-$45
Night Care-$65
No Holiday rate at this time, might change in the future.
As of June 1st, 2023, a 15% discount will be offered to Teachers, Doctors/Nurses, First Responders, and our heroes that have served/ are serving.

Thank you for your business and support and I hope to continue serving you and your fur family!

05/26/2023

Good Morning and Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope everyone has a great weekend and I want to thank the brave men and women who have fought and have went through the unimaginable to keep us here at home safe and sound. Don’t forget I offer a 10% discount to all who have served/ are serving, doctors/nurses, and first responders.

Some exciting news then my calendar as of rigjt now.

I am not promising but I am striving to become more active on here and treat it more like a business and not a personal blog. This is something that I will talk about because it is apart of me. Next month is coming up in the matter of days and it’s Pride Month. One statement and then I’ll move on for now. Pride ain’t going nowhere, so come at us, because we will get up and RISE!

Last year, we did our first donation event for the Columbia Animal Shelter and raised over $300. This year, we will have our 2nd Annual Fundraiser. I don’t have a date yet or time, but it’s definitely in the works. I’m hoping to be bigger and better than last year.

Update on Prices- I’m doing my research because I want to price everything fairly and accurately as possible. I will probably be posting an update on prices in the next couple of days, will go straight into play on June 1st. My clients that I have just booked, your prices will remain the same.

My 10% discount will now be 15% and.…….. Drum Roll please…… the discount also goes to TEACHERS! Because without Teachers, where would we be?

Also if you go by any nutrition shops, you might just see a JC & Paws business card.

Calendar: I’m filling up fast! Thank you to everyone that has shared, commented, liked, and told others about me. Like I said a few months ago, my mission is to be the best dog sitter in Mississippi! Thank you so much again! As I said I’m filling up fast, so if I have any availability and you need a sitter, let me know! I usually like about 24-48 hour notice beforehand. Also, I need to point out that I know allow checks, so checks, cash, Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, and also Square Payments are allowed. Calendar will change throughout the months while these are JC & Paws bookings and Rover bookings.

May 2023:
May 26th- June 2nd: Doggy Day Care, so no nighttime care

June 2023:
June 4th- June 7th: Drop in visits and June 7th- 12th nighttime care pending on Rover, will post an update as soon as possible.

June 16th-June 19th: Overnight care, can do drop in visits on these dates.

July 2023:
July 12-31st- Drop in visits, can do overnight care on these dates.

Thank you once again, I know it’s a long post again but I had a lot of information, so I will be updating everything soon!

JC

Time for a long post so buckle up…
Having a small business/side gig is HARD. As one of my High School Teachers once said, it’s not Unicorns and Rainbows. You are basically everything for your business, so if you make one slight mistake, it might destroy everything you created. You never have off days- even when you are technically “off the clock”. It mentally drains you and psychically drains you. You can work your butt off and do your best, but sometimes that’s not even enough. 99.9% of the time you make zero profit especially when you consider the essentials (water, food, house, gasoline for car) then you are broke or either minus. It is very STRESSFUL, You worry about MONEY all the time, but the reason why we do what we do is because we love it. Yes…. It is a HUGE headache every single day juggling not only trying to manage a pet business that is literally crumbing at the seams everyday, DoorDash which puts gas in your car, and Spark-Walmart Delivery which is not profitable unless you liked getting paid once a month. I don’t know when JC & Paws will close down or stay open. Everything is in the air, I am doing what I can so I don’t have to close because I have had lots of people tell me that this is awesome, this is exactly what my community needs, I never knew people dog/cat sat before. And No, my job is not easy, do you know the pressure I’m under, you, the owner, are trusting me as the sitter to take care of your babies. Some jobs are easy and some aren’t. I’ve had people say Jacob, you must be the dog whisperer because that dog usually doesn’t let no one pet it. I will say it again and again, I’m good at what I do. I go the extra mile making sure that not only you, the owner, but also my fur clients are 100% happy after the sit.

With that being said, I need substantial income coming in, like daily jobs, weekly jobs, and monthly jobs. I really only have one client right now that is keeping me in business. I need other people, Summer is here and you would think that would be my most productive months, the answer is No. It is radio silent. I need my calendar filled up ASAP.

Price changes are coming, with that instead of 10% it will move to 15% off for all first responders, and people who have/are serving.

Business cards…. not at the moment, they do get expensive over time.

I have one booking for June but that’s it.

I am going to be doing doggy day care all day from the 27th to June 2nd, and overnight care the 16-19th.

Right now because of the heat, walks are a no go until late afternoon, early evening, when it cools down. I’m going to try to get some more advertising out here, in the meantime, share this page to your friends and family and talk about it.

I started this because I knew this is what my community needed and wanted, and it’s what brings me joy.
It wakes me up in the morning (and coffee) and makes my day.

Loving on dogs, one paw at a time.

Let’s GOOOOOO

JC & Paws

P.S. I’m attaching some more advertising which was not made by me but I’m so appreciative of the person who made this ad for me.

05/10/2023

I’m probably not supposed to tell you this but I am anyways, It’s no mystery that the dog sitting is not doing good, but I also don’t want to quit so I’m trying to do anything I can so I can keep it up.

I have tried applying at all the tea shops locally from Hattiesburg to Sumrall to Foxworth and Columbia, and most of them tell me no. I recently applied for a part time or full time position at Platinum Nutrition in the strip mall by Columbia Walmart, and before I left I said Do I have a chance? I said please be honest with me because I know tea shops usually don’t hire guys, and they said don’t worry about that, we have plenty of guys that work with us.

I do have a chance, and I also have a wonderful opportunity at a hotel for night audit in Hattiesburg. The thing is, the hotel job means I’ll have to shut this down completely because most of my dog sitting jobs are night sits, and the tea shop would mean I could still do this and make a living, because right now, I’m basically unemployed.

If you know me, you know how I feel about my loaded teas. I love them, and want one everyday, but I’m leaning back, and trying to drink more water because they are a little pricey.

I would love the opportunity to serve you, Columbia. I would give my 110% everyday no matter if I’m mixing a loaded tea, putting toppings on a meal replacement shake, or creating the most perfect protein waffle.

I want this job and will do whatever it takes, so I do need your help, I don’t know if this will help me or hurt me, but I got to try.

If you go by Platinum Nutrition, Could you perhaps say one or two things about me? It would mean the world to me and it would help me to hopefully get the job.

I know this is a small ask but It might get me in the door, I feel really good about this one, the waiting game is hard, I’m ready to start today, but patience is key.

Thank you as always and I hope to see you soon making you a tea at Platinum Nutrition!

05/08/2023

Hi everyone I am just now getting over a really bad mental health spell, so I will be getting to everyone soon.
Thank you for being patient with me, I might actually have to just stop social media for a minute and get my head clear. So many hurtful things are in my heart and my head right now, but I’m fighting like hell. Giving up is not an option, but I believe Good things are coming on the rise! I love you and Thank you, I’ll come back better than ever before.

04/26/2023

Good morning, I know I said that I was going to get back to you this week, and I am, just maybe a little later than I planned. As soon as I’m done answering my messages, I will be posting my May calendar.

04/24/2023

Hi Friends, I know it’s late/early but I just wanted to pop on here and include some more details since I have a lot of new followers.

* This is not your normal business page, I usually post about once or more a month and I’m very open about my mental health and etc. I know the long posts are not cutting it and I hear you, more shorter posts in the future with attached calendars and puppy pictures who I have sat.
* I might upgrade my pricing in the future, if I do, it won’t be more than a $2 or $3 increase, but I did want you to know that I do offer a 10% discount to all my clients who are serving/have served, doctors/nurses, and first responders- police, firefighters, EMTs
* I will be posting a May Calendar in a few days, I know I have a lot of messages to get to, I want to apologize that I haven’t really been that active lately, Life is like walking on nails right now, without giving so much away. This week, I will be getting to your messages, your comments, and etc. Thank you for your continued support!
* I will be continuing JC & Paws and I will be updating my Rover profile, I have found out that my Wag! Profile was deactivated because no one booked me on there in several months. Business cards are coming in the near future and maybe even shirts if interested?
* Last but not least, I saved this for last because I know this is a very hot topic not only in our state, but everywhere else. I am apart of the LGBTQIA community, it’s something that I don’t take lightly. Negative comments will be deleted ASAP. Being true to myself is very important, the reason why I’m putting this out here is because I have had people on Rover book with me and then we do our meet and greet, and the last question they ask is… are you gay? I’m not going to deny it so I answer yes. A few hours later, I open the Rover app to find out they had declined me as a sitter. It does happen, I don’t know why my sexuality matters so much when I’m literally talking care of one of your family members 🐶

As I said earlier, I will be answering your messages and updating my May calendar and posting it on here, please inbox me if you are looking for a sitter either in May or June, July, August.
Thank you again!

——— I will not be surprised if I lose followers because of my sexuality, because I will not bully myself for another 20 years

04/17/2023

Hi Everyone, I was hacked on Sunday, I do apologize on my part for anyone who received any messages claiming I was asking for money or any programs or whatnot, to say it nicely, I found the culprit, reported him and he will be going to Facebook jail. That is one thing I will not deal with. But on better news—— Has anyone seen the Love is Blind Reunion yet? Probably the most boring reunion ever. Marshall deserved better, but the Browns, Brett and Tiffany are GLOWING!

04/15/2023

Hi everyone this is my approach to advertise my business one last time in hope for more clients and hopefully stopping me from closing down.

Hi everyone, my name is Jacob Conklin, and I am the owner of JC & Paws. A few details about me and then I’ll describe what JC & Paws is and why I created it, and finally I will be describing all my services I offer.

I am 24, going on 25 in December. I graduated high school in 2018, and did go to college online and had to drop out unfortunately, and was going to get a Bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. I started working at a Hotel for 2 years and loved it, but didn’t love what it was doing to my mental health. Mental health is very important to me, and I believe the only way to end this taboo topic is to stop putting mental health in a box and call it a day. There are many forms and a lot of people suffer in silence afraid of what might happen, so please be kind!

I have always been in love with dogs, I remember my first ever dog I had, I named him Scooby-Doo, Huge fan of Scooby-Doo, also had a fish named Daphne. I was sick and tired of neglecting my mental health so I could sit behind a desk and get yelled at. My aunt, who dog sits on the side, she took me sometimes to her dog sits and it made me so happy. I got the idea from her, and from there I got an ad saying Start your own business and be your own boss. I was like Okay, keep talking, so I started my business with Wag!, then Rover, then JC & Paws.

I have been in business since 2021, going on 2 years. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I am thankful that I found my CALLING, some people search their whole lives in search of their calling and I found mine! Mine is taking care of animals, specifically cats and dogs. My heart for animals wears on my sleeve. If I was financially able, I’ll adopt all the animals and send them to great homes, but unfortunately I don’t, but I can get involved and help get the world out as much as possible!

JC & Paws is a Dog Sitting Business-No Insurance, but if you book through Rover, you will be under their Rover Guarantee which is insurance. I’m very good at what I do because I give 110% to every animal in my care.
I offer my services in the following locations:
Columbia, Hattiesburg, Petal, and Purvis.
My services are as follows with price included- price might go up a few dollars, it determines on business and if I close for good
Drop in Visits-$20- feed, water, playtime, bathroom break 25-30 minute
Walks- 30 minutes- $30
Doggy Day Care- $35 a few hours or all day- stay in your house with dog
Nighttime sits- $40 all night
*Price is flat fee no matter how many dogs/cats

Thank you once again, and if you have any questions like referrals or what not, please contact me whenever you can.

Forever Grateful 😇
Jacob Conklin

Good Evening everyone. New Month, New Post.
I’m going to try to keep this as short and sweet as I can. Prior to last month’s post, a lot has happened. Mentally-All over the place, but my car is getting fixed on soon, and I finally got accepted to drive for Walmart as a SPARK driver! I’ve been putting in applications left and right, and really nothing valuable just yet. I am finally seeing a glimpse of goodness.

With that in mind, Unfortunately I have made the decision to close JC & Paws for good starting May 1st. I have enjoyed every second of learning how to become a pet sitter, and more importantly LOVED being self employed and being my own BOSS! But all good things must end at some point, I had a fantastic 2 years meeting all my fur and human clients. All I can say is I’m one lucky person, to have so many people care about what I do and want to know more. I got to actually do what I love for 2 YEARS! That’s crazy! I am going to miss my JC & Paws family so much. Everyone of you has a piece of my heart ❤️

I’m starting another great chapter in my life, Life got really hard there for a long minute, and honestly I was almost at my wits end.
I’m not giving up, I got too many awesome people out there waiting for me to succeed.

I don’t know what I’m going to do just yet but like Degrassi’s Theme Song says, “Whatever it takes, I’m going to make it through”. Yes, I’ve been watching the old Degrassi episodes and I’m obsessed, like 25-30 years later and still very relatable.

I did the damn thing though, I started my own business. So yeah, that makes me pretty happy!

I will be deleting my business account permanently May 1. If you would like, you are more than welcome to follow my public page.

Thank you for the last time! You all have inspired me in so many ways and I only hope I have inspired-this and then I got to go before I get too emotional- I only hope I have inspired a young person that it is okay to be YOU, the authentic You, it is okay to have depression and anxiety, it is okay to be inexperienced when it comes to trying to have a business, but Work,Work, and Work and I promise you, You got this!

I love my JC & Paws Family
Jacob ❤️
