❤️ A Message to Our Cartel Dawg Family ❤️

We know we told everyone we’d be back this weekend, and we were looking forward to seeing all of you.

Unfortunately, The Cartel Dawgs will not be open this weekend.

Right now, our hearts need to be somewhere else.

Our dear friend Kevin is beginning his transition into his heavenly home, and we feel it’s important to honor him and the people who love him most. This is a chapter no one is ever truly prepared for.

We have one favor to ask of our amazing CD family…

Please keep Kevin in your prayers as he makes this journey. Pray that he finds peace, comfort, and is welcomed home with open arms.

Please also pray for his family, for all of those who love him, and for us. Watching someone you love say goodbye is never easy. Chevy has lost more than a friend—he’s watching his brother, his lifelong friend, prepare for his final ride, and it’s been incredibly hard on him.

Thank you for always understanding that sometimes life asks us to pause and be present for the people who matter most.

We appreciate every one of you more than you know. We’ll be back as soon as we’re able.

Until then, hug your people a little tighter, tell them you love them, and if you have a moment… please say a prayer for Kevin.

❤️ Thank you for being part of our Wiener Protection Program family.

❤️ To Our WPP Family,

The Cartel Dawgs will be closed tomorrow, August 1st, as Chevy and I travel to say our final goodbyes to our dear friend, Kevin.

Many of you have followed his journey with us over the past several months, and we’ve been incredibly grateful for every prayer, kind word, donation to the family’s GoFundMe and message of hope you’ve shared along the way.

As we spend tomorrow with Kevin, we ask that you please keep him and his family in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time. We continue to pray for peace, comfort, and strength for everyone who loves him.

Thank you for always supporting our small business and for understanding that family and friends come first.

We’ll be back soon, and we look forward to serving our amazing WPP family again.

❤️ With gratitude,
Jennie & Chevy
