Space Bear - Ex-Doggo Tavern Owner & Accomplice
Update: Doggo Tavern has been seized and handed over to a new leadership. AJ is currently attempting to recreate the chat on a new account.
Our recent overview of June Smith mentioned briefly her alleged husband, Space Bear or SpcBear or AJ. AJ is an interesting figure because unlike June, who is a furry fandom orbiter using a randomly generated furry avatar to grift for money, AJ is an actual furry ingrained in the community and often is written as the victim in the story of June.
See AJ is the owner of Doggo Tavern, the location of where June does most of the saber rattling against the community and is where he runs the business "Dog and Bear" from which is allegedly involved in PayPal fraud.
This is also known as "Doggo Division" which is some form of illicit PayPal fraud.
Of course, in the context of June, you are an idiot if you don't commit crimes, I suppose:
If interested in more logs of the events, check out @doggotavern3 on telegram.
Yet, there is a lot that came to light that shines questions on if AJ is a victim in all of this or if he's the enabler behind June. See, June sort of has an interesting relationship with AJ. AJ provides all the money and June spends it. June allegedly abuses AJ, up to and including holding a exacto knife to his throat which June is facing charges in Denver, Colorado over.
Denied any assistance from public authorities to separate the two, denied any assistance in escaping the relationship, denied any assistance from anyone that was not giving them cash directly.in the pending legal drama in Colorado:
Them body blocking cameras so June can shoplift from big box and local businesses.
Allowing June to contact the DA / victim's advocate pretending to be them so that they don't have to deal with it.
Demanding June not be charged with holding a knife to their throat and allegedly attempting to steal someone's Jeep.
Lived with June while a TPO was in effect multiple times.
Moved their "location" to allow June to live with them while June had a geotracker on which would go off at the location of the RV they live in.
Denied any assistance from public authorities to seperate the two, denied any assistance in escaping the relationship, denied any assistance from anyone that was not giving them cash directly.
Cash that is directly always given to June.
Again, refused any help including legal remedies for all of their issues.
Is involved in the "Dog and Bear" PayPal scams being ran with what is assumed to be Nigerian & Indian scammers via Telegram.
So, basically June spends all of their money on drugs and random things like onlien gambling and AJ does absolutely nothing except make excuses right now. Up to including being on June's side in the pending legal drama in Colorado:
The interesting bit here is that there's a third person involved, Sarah, who has a husband who owns the RV that they're staying in. They're currently dating AJ who has brought June along with the relationship. They're located in this mess and are helping June as well.
So the question is, if they're so onboard with June doing all of these assumingly criminal things, including allegedly robbing a local sports bar and helping June evade measures designed to protect them, then are they a victim?
Well the community came together when June first got a TPO issued against her at a hospital in Colorado during a long fight between the two. June often does doctor shopping, another thing they brag about on Telegram often, to obtain opioids. AJ decided not to be an accomplice for once, the police intervened and helped separate the two of them and gave AJ a new lease on life.
AJ begged for food for the evening to start his new life and a kind furry donated a fully pizza dinner with drinks and everything for pickup. The next photo was June eating the pizza, complaining about how bad it tasted and AJ siding with June on how everyone is overreacting to them sharing food with their wife.
AJ was also the one to immediately shelter June once June was released from jail and has again toed the line about everything in regards to June.
If someone, who is supposedly being abused, refuses all remedies and assists someone in supposedly criminal acts then wouldn't you say that they're an accomplice as well?
As a final word: June is still on the run from charges in Houston and AJ was the one to help there as well. Where does that put him? Something to think about.
Remember before you donate money to anyone, get to know them a bit more, otherwise you may be assisting criminals in doing more crime.

An Insider’s Guide to Tuscon, AZ
More than half a million people call the city of Tucson, Arizona home. This desert city is the perfect southwestern destination when you’re on the hunt for unique sites, great food, and budget-friendly entertainment. Tucson has been the backdrop for hundreds of movies and television productions, but it also boasts “350 days of sunshine!” This sunny city offers milder temperatures from Mid-fall (October) and into early spring (April), but when summer hits Arizona, the thermostat gets serious—the average temps in Tucson for June and July hit 99 degrees! In Tucson, though, both hot and cold converge–from spicy foods to cool and cold caves–and no matter if the temps rise or fall, there’s still sites to explore, new food to taste and lots of fun to enjoy! So what are the must-see sites and scenes in Tucson? Here’s your insider guide to Tuscon, AZ.
Museums
Every city has its own unique museums. And Tucson is home to several must-see sites. Whether you want to gaze upon art, learn more about the state’s history or check out tiny treasures of miniature displays, there is a museum that will make your Tucson visit top-notch. Admission prices vary, so plan your budget accordingly.

You also can visit the “Aircraft Boneyard,” but reservations must be made 10 business days in advance. Admission prices range from $10 (kids 5 to 12) to $16.50 for adults. Two-day tickets also are available, and discount admissions also are provided for seniors, Pima County residents and groups (more than 20 individuals).

However, some of the trails areas are better suited for more experienced hikers. When you want to hit the trails, climb a mountain or just enjoy the outdoors, here are the best locations in Tucson.

Order the family platter for $29.99.

4 Things I Learned at Goat Yoga

4 Things I Learned at Goat Yoga
“Hi! Want to try goat yoga?” the message from Goat Yoga Texas read.
In a word: Yes.
That’s how I ended up in Cypress with two coworkers on a 102-degree Sunday afternoon while city officials broadcast heat advisories. An email that morning from Goat Yoga Texas owner and instructor Kimberly Brooke advised us to hydrate before class. I chugged a Red Bull.
This was not Houstonia’s first rodeo with regards to goat yoga, but it was mine. My only expectation for the day was a selfie with a goat (check), but I got so much more—including, later, a seriously good cheeseburger and local beer from Murdoch’s Backyard Pub, where Goat Yoga Texas sets up the corral every Saturday (11 a.m.) and Sunday (2 p.m.). Thinking about trying the fad for yourself? Here are our biggest takeaways.
1. If a goat’s gotta go, a goat’s gotta go.
Sometimes, that means all over your $78 yoga mat. “What happens if they go to the bathroom on us?” I wondered aloud to my coworkers on the drive there. There’s plenty of hype around goat yoga, but no one ever talks about that. Which led me to believe it doesn’t really happen; these are professional goats, surely they must be trained to hold it, right? Wrong. Either I jinxed myself in the car or I had the look of an immediate target—or both—because no sooner did I unfurl my Lululemon mat did Black Jack saunter over to promptly relieve himself right then and there. Number two is actually less of a problem, as goat droppings are small, hard, and pellet-like so can be easily shaken off a rubbery surface. It was the pee that did me in, and I spent the entire class avoiding the latter half of my mat, bandaged in paper towels. It should be noted that neither Black Jack nor any other goats peed on anyone else’s mat but mine before, during, or after class. Speaking of that mat…
2. Leave your Lululemon at home.
In my world, yoga is almost as much about apparel as it is about asanas, and vinyasa is practically synonymous with $98 spandex. Naturally, I donned an all-black Lululemon ensemble, focusing more on the “yoga” than the barnyard term that preceded it. That, as it turns out, was my bad. Sweat, grass, dirt, and maybe some stray goat pellets (who’s to say?) all conspired to send my luxe athleisure-wear directly to the hamper.
3. Goats are like puppies.
Excrement notwithstanding, I have nothing but good things to say about these goats, which were sweet, docile, cuddly, and overall more chill than expected. As it turns out, goats were one of the first species to be domesticated by humans, about 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, which explains their comparison to puppies. More recently, they’ve been used in animal-assisted therapy programs to demonstrably good results. Goat Yoga Texas’ herd consists of Nigerian Dwarves and Nigerian/Pygmy mixes, which are miniature breeds that weigh between 25 and 50 pounds when full grown—just enough heft to stand comfortably on your back in tabletop pose. Goats are exceptionally good sports in the 30-minute “cuddle” period post-practice, when they tolerate being pet, held, and infinitely photographed.
4. Goat yoga is real yoga, but don’t expect an advanced practice.
If you’re doing anything fitness-related with animals, it’s probably more for the novelty than the workout. Which is not to say that this class isn’t legit—owner Kimberly Brooke is a bona fide yogi with more than 600 teaching hours, and her goat yoga class is akin to other all-level slow flows. Expect to move through basic poses (like downward dog, scorpion, and cat/cow) and a few sun salutations, then throw (well-behaved) baby goats in the mix. One might curl up at the head of your mat during savasana, as was the case with my colleague Gwendolyn, or you might find the soft, furry belly of a barnyard animal the perfect resting place for your head while you deepen a spinal twist.
Brooke herself wasn’t immediately sold on the concept, though. It was 10 years into her yoga practice when friends began reaching out about goat yoga, the weird wellness craze picking up steam in Portland where thousands flocked to sold-out classes. Brooke, already a certified yoga teacher, had recently started raising goats of her own (including a herd of babies rescued from Harvey) on a micro farm with her husband in Magnolia. Unconvinced the phenomenon was “real yoga,” she turned her nose up at it until, a few months later, she tried it herself. “The looks on people’s faces, the calm that settles in, the belly laughs, and even some tears,” her website reads. “Pure emotional releases and tensions letting go after years of binding and holding on.” Sold on the benefits of goat yoga, Brooke never looked back.
In short, if you’re looking to deepen your practice and really commit to your form without running the risk of elbowing a goat in the horns, stick to class in a traditional studio. If, on the other hand, you want to try some basic yoga and spend a sunny weekend afternoon with adorable animals, head out to Cypress.
