Milomuffin’s Gourmet Dog Treats

01/02/2025

ANNOUNCEMENT

To my amazing followers,

Happy New Year from me and my babies, to you and yours! 🎆🎉

I hope all of our followers had an incredible 2024, and a beautiful holiday season with the people, and fur babies, you love the most.

2024 was a busy year for us. We relocated to DC temporarily for work, and have been busy living the city life, but certainly missing our home in West Virginia!

I have had lots of time to think about the future of Milomuffin’s, and it is with an extremely heavy heart that I have decided to close this little business of mine.

I believe that everything in life has a season, and serves a purpose for your life. As the boys and I move into the next season of our life, I plan to dedicate more time to the building blocks that will create the foundation for our future: building up the relationships with the people we love, home renovations, making memories with the people we love, traveling a little more, actually resting during the holiday season, a little more overtime at work when I can find it, and more long walkies and fetch at the park for sure.

I started Milomuffin’s in a season when I was a little lonely, a little sad, looking for a creative outlet, relatively new to the post-college world of adulting. And for all that I poured into this business, it gave me back so much more than I could have hoped for— immeasurable gifts and blessings really. Milomuffin’s took off and became so much more than I ever dreamt it could or would be. Let me tell you— the pride I felt over starting and running my own little business, the courage I had to find overnight to become a salesperson and vibrant extrovert on market days (which was wonderful, but a challenge for me),the resilience I learned when I failed at something that I thought was going to be a hit and then it flopped, the time management I had to get really good at between working full time and baking dog treats full time on market weeks. I grew so much through my years of running Milomuffin’s. But none of that compares to the greatest blessing that came from this venture. The friendships I made along the way. I am blessed to have had customers who showed me endless love and support and grace, other business owners who took a chance on me, sold my treats in their stores, or gave me advice when I needed it most. Between other amazing vendors at markets and my sweet sweet customers, I’ve met people with whom I will have cherished friendships forever, all because I decided to make dog treats for your dogs too, not just mine. A gift from God, for sure.

Milomuffin’s was a true labor of LOVE, and I will miss it, and all of you, so terribly. (I already do after having to sit out all of 2024, and especially the 2024 holiday market season.) From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to all of you who made this business a success, for every order, for every like/share/follow, for every review and picture of your babies eating my snacks. I’m forever grateful for each of you.

Love, Jordan

UPDATE: To add for security purposes, I DO have a house sitter who will be staying in my home for the duration of my trip! So no funny business 😂🚔🚨🙅🏼‍♀️

Hello everyone!! It has been a while since we have checked in, and I wanted to take a moment to share some updates in our lives, and about my little business!

I have had to take a break from Milomuffin’s this year, due to some personal things I’ve had going on between work, and my home life! But last month I was so fortunate and blessed to be selected for a temporary duty assignment in Washington, D.C., my favorite city in the world, through the end of December, and possibly through January 2025. We have been in the process of traveling back and forth, packing our necessities, finding a place to live, all that fun stuff! 🇺🇸🏙️

Unfortunately this means I will be taking a hiatus from Milomuffin’s, including participating in all of our favorite markets during the holidays this year, etc. 🥺

I can’t thank you enough for being such loyal and wonderful customers over the last few years, and supporting this little dream of mine! You have made this a dream come true. Me and the boys are so excited for this once in a lifetime opportunity, but this is far from the end of Milomuffin’s! I have missed/will miss baking for your babies, but I am already so looking forward to reviving the business when we come back home! 🩵🦴🧁

AND: BOLO for merchandise sales on Facebook though! While I won’t be able to bake, I do still plan to sell seasonal bandanas, Christmas stockings, toys, stocking holders, etc., on occasion!

Thank you Market on Main Bridgeport for putting on another amazing event!! So blessed to be a part of this day every year! ❤️ And thank you to every single one of our incredible customers who helped us almost completely sell out AGAIN! As I reflect on this year, and the journey Milomuffin’s has been on over the last few years, I could not be more thankful for each person who continually supports this little business of mine! You all are making my dream come true, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude for you and your sweet babies who love our treats so much! ❤️🎄🐾

From the bottom of ALL of our hearts, THANK YOU to every single one of you who took the time out of your busy holiday season to support us today!!

THANK YOU, and we wish all of you THE most joyful holiday season!

Key to Adam for their beautiful music adding the touch we needed for such a joyful event!
