Campfire Pet Spaw

27/01/2024

Can we talk about humility for a quick minute? See, it’s Friday evening at 8pm… im sitting in a parking lot in a town we relocated too in hopes of continuing to chase our dreams… We gave up everything we had been working so hard for with our first business Campfire Pet Spaw to pursue dreams in Steamboat Springs. Not just for my amazing wife or even myself, more so, our 3 amazing kids.

See the worlds changing around us faster than we can see. We wanted a slower life style, we wanted our kids to be outside more than they see a screen of any sorts. We want them to experience what we experienced as kids. Life at its fullest…

The only reason we put our business to the side was because our dreams seemed to be coming to fruition from an opportunity I found in Steamboat.

We had reached our point and pulled the trigger after months and months of negotiations for what we felt was our dream coming true. Having the chance to purchase an established business focused on dog boarding with 39 acres of land. Somehow we spent months praying for the chance to earn this. Those negotiations came with many sleepless nights. But then we got the yes we had been hoping for and started putting plans together. Bare in mind this was in September of 23’.

Somehow between our arrival November 23rd and Decemeber 14th everything we had been working so hard for had instantly been taken away from us…. Because we thought we could trust someone. Someone who told us we were like family… someone who had no family around telling you that knowing you’re relocating for makes you feel comfort. You never think that, that person would flip the script and completely destroy every facet of life imaginable.

I say humility because it’s 830 pm now still in this parking lot trying to think and pray of ways to keep my kids stability the main focus. We plan to open another business as we already still have all our equipment but it’s making it to that point. Does humility count as swallowing your own pride in order to ask your community for help to save something so special?

Please, give our Gofundme a read. It explains way more than I just did. It’ll make more sense to see how you can go from the highest of highs to lowest of lows in a matter of absolutely no time. This isn’t something I’d wish on my worst enemy quite frankly. All want wanted to do was help someone and earn our chance at our life dream.

I should be at the property enjoying time and smiling with my kids and wife, but instead I’m here in this parking lot trying everything possible to help make sure we don’t lose everything. We just wanted to work hard and have a simple life with our little family.

I just ask you give it a read. Do what you think is best, at the end of day having to ask for something like this isn’t easy at all. Letting down walls to be transparent to the world isn’t easy at all. But in times like this you have to do whatever you can to save your family.

Update* There is more info and updates in the Go fund Me. We reached out to the owner of the property/business we are trying to get off of to see if she would possibly help our family financially especially with all of the money we put into getting here quickly to help her with her business. Her attorney who is absolutely horrid to our family basically tried to play with our hearts over getting the help we need. They acted like they would be open to helping us and wasted precious time we needed to find other resources. I’m just so baffled how absolutely heartless people can be. I just don’t even understand how they get through life being so mean and hateful. We’ve heard so many others stories now that ours is out and it’s just so wrong how someone can build their business, career, and life hurting so many other people.

We are so lucky to have found someone to help us get into a reliable vehicle we can make payments on and we found a rental home but we just need to raise enough money to get moving help.

We also need to raise enough for first month and deposit so we can move in quickly. We are doing what we can on our part to earn and raise the funds. We are being told we have until Thursday for the sheriff's to show up even though they know it might take until Saturday to get help out here. The property/business isn't even being used anymore and if anyone can help us get out of here sooner we would appreciate it so much.

I feel terrible for having to post this but things somehow managed to get even worse for our family. We moved to steamboat to operate a dog kennel. I was hoping to reach out to everyone individually and express our love and how much we miss everyone. I have been wanting to thank so many for the support we needed when I got sick. I thought we would be a little more settled and have some peace by now. I still struggle with my health and I haven’t even had much time to focus on it now that we are in the middle of this situation that is destroying so much for us. I’m so sorry for all our amazing friends who haven’t heard from us but please know we think of everyone and we are here if you need to talk. Message us on our personal page. I plan on reaching out to everyone like I’ve wanted to since we had to close down. I want to update everyone on what happened and how bad it got as well as issues I still deal with. Most of my health issues are still a mystery but we might be figuring some stuff out soon. Right now we’re facing being homeless. It’s humiliating to say but it’s true. We were defrauded out of our dream come true and then threatened with dhs to help with our kids as we are thrown out into the streets as this lawyer tells us almost everyday. We wake up to terrible threats and it’s making some days hard to even function. We have to pull ourselves up and hold each other up because it feels impossible right now. We love all of you and hope to speak to everyone and catch up with everyone’s lives very soon.

************ UPDATE TITO HAS BEEN FOUND AND IS BACK WITH US!!!! Thank you everyone SOOO SOOO VERY MUCH ************

******* WE NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE *******
Please share this everywhere so tri town area knows and can help us locate her please!!!

Tito our white Cockatoo is Missing!!! Jess took her outside late this morning from the shop to get some sun since it was finally out. Tito caught a heavy wind draft and she couldn’t make it back to us.

She’s most likely scared and confused. She was last seen circling the building next to the shop by the liquor store and dominos. We’ve been searching for almost 2 hours with no luck. She could be anywhere at this point.

Backyard, perched in a tree, hunckered down from this incoming storm. The options at this point are limitless.

If you see her, please do no approach her. Please instead keep in eye sight of her to offer her some sense of security and call us ASAP please.

Hello world 🌍 it’s Jonathan-

I wanted to send a quick update on here for y’all to know what’s going on.

So most of y’all have seen me hobbling around the shop with a walking boot on for the last month.

I was admitted into the hospital Thursday of last week for what the doctors believe is Septic Arthritis of my left foot.

Basically a nasty nasty joint infection that is quite serious. Can lead to amputation, infection spreading to other parts of my body. Mainly heart and brain - among many other concerns including surgery.

This is the most inconvenient time for something like this to happen. We’ve had to move and or reschedule every appointment for the last 2 weeks. And will have to move appointments for the next two weeks also.

I know this is a severe inconvenience for those needing to be taken care of before Christmas. Just know we will do our absolute best to get everyone resolved and taken care of immediately.

Unfortunately, I will still be out of commission for the next coming couple of weeks. If you have something scheduled, be on the lookout for my text or phone call to get y’all’s appointments rescheduled and situated over the next coming couple of days.

Regardless of what’s going on, Jessics and myself wanted to say thank you so much for y’all understanding and sticking with us. We cherish every single one of you and your furry loved ones. We will be back soon and hope you can understand that I must get this taken care of over anything or I might not be around to make bad jokes at check in anymore 😆😆😆.

If we don’t see you before Christmas or the holidays, we hope you and your family have an amazing time with your family.

Get ready for some ”sappiness” ♥️💙😍😍💙♥️

Honestly not even sure where to begin…😬😬😬

853 days ago we opened our doors for the first time.

27 months ago our wishes became reality

2 years and 3 months later here we are… still growing 💪💪🤌🤌👍👍

To have become 2022 Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorites AND 2022 Best of HomeGuide Advisors in the same year is a tremendous achievement for us.
🏆🥇🎖️🏆

Realistically this is all because of YOU. Everything I’ve mentioned so far in this post is because of YOU 🫵🫵🫵🫵.

Jessica and I being able to open doors to a business that supports our communities animals is something we only dreamed of… until we took a leap of faith June of 2020 and opened our doors. Especially right at the start of the COVID era.

Yes, moments of fear and stress took over... But they never lasted very long, mainly because YALL have kept us busy since day 1. 🥰🥰🥰

YALL have been the backbone to our business. The FOUNDATION to our success so far. The path to Campfire Pet Spaws FUTURE and most importantly our GROWTH and EXPANSION.

We do our absolute best to provide an experience that is unmatched to any other. We hope it shows. We hope y’all see the difference with us.

So here is the first 2 years of our business 🙌🙌🙌- and the next 20+ 🤞🤞

Get ready for the cutest damn thing you ever did see!! Meet Zoey the 4lb 12 week old Mini Poodle puppy who found all comfort in the world from a 200lb Leonberger fluff ball. Different family and never met before. Zoey couldn’t get enough of Thors love and protection.

30/08/2022

It’s always an adventure around these parts. As you know Jessica recently adopted a female named Tito. Well as of about a week ago she also rescued a who we’ve named . This is their first encounter together. It was a very gentle approach from each other as Dobby runs around the shop, more of a dog than a cat. But also Jess says he isn’t a cat. He’s a house elf 😂😂😂.

When one of the cutest most littlest puppies comes to visit you take pictures. She was so sweet and one of the best puppies we’ve worked on. Even at 14 weeks. Never to soon to start the grooming journey.

12/04/2022

Have you ever seen a Leonberger?? They are an especially rare working breed. Whom almost went entirely extinct during WW1 era. Thankfully a small handful of enthusiasts were able to bring this breed back to life.

This is Thor. The 7 year old 185lb fluff ball. Nothing but loving. He came in for some much needed TLC. Thankful his owners found us so we could groom such a rare breed.

Ever seen a true Mini horse 🐴🐎🐴🐎 get groomed ??

For those that don’t know. This is Angus. Our almost 2 year old mini horse. Weighing in at 91 lbs. This is as large as he’s going to get.

It was time to ditch the winter coat and get ready for some much needed warmer weather. 🌤🌤🌤😎☀️😎☀️😎

Say hello to Tinxie and Trigger - 👋👋👋
Tinxie is the closest version of Miniature German Shepherd you could come across 😂😂😂. Also closely related to a ultra mini Bear lol

Dutton the Standard Poodle is definitely turning into the majestic beast he’s supposed to be. Definitely one of a kind

09/03/2022

Corgis are known to have the best dog butts.

Well we recently we were asked to turn Grr the corgis tail into a heart ❤️

Needless to say. She loved it.

Like I’ve mentioned were really digging the creative grooming aspect of the pups lately.

09/03/2022

Did some creative coloring today -

Lucy the standard poodle ate up pretty much all of the coloring for her fluffy big head 🤣🤣

And let’s just say Athena’s crazy husky self wasn’t so easy to get her tail without it getting all over herself and everything else 🤗🤗🤗

And needless to say - my gloves weren’t so effective. My hand will be dyed for a couple weeks 👍👍

Also… this is pet safe dye. It’s called OPawz - it’s specifically designed and formulated for dogs and horses.

Maybe we should color the mini horse next ??

29/01/2022

We’ve been dabbling with colors recently !!
Definitely not for everyone.
But also definitely perfect for the right ones !!

17/12/2021

This little feller is going to be the most majestic
Standard Poodle ever to be seen.
