Made it just in time to see the sunset. Excited about shooting some dock diving tomorrow and seeing some of my Michigan friends at Paws-A-Splashin’ Dock Diving 💥😍💦

🚨 FCI Shirt Customization Update 🚨

We've received several inquiries about swapping the featured dog in the Invitational shirt design for specific dogs or other breeds. First, thank you! We're thrilled by the excitement and enthusiasm for this design—it's shaping up to be one of our best sellers.

Right now, our priority is producing and fulfilling the standard event shirt orders to make sure everyone receives their apparel on time. Once those orders are complete and our production schedule allows, we'll be happy to consider custom versions.

Please note that custom dog substitutions require additional artwork and separate production, so they will be subject to a customization/design fee and/or minimum order requirements.

We appreciate everyone's understanding and support, and we'll share more information if and when custom versions become available!

We are going to be printing and shipping shirts. Thank you all for your patience as June was crazier than we expected - travel, tire blowouts and other life events. If you have a shirt order in with us, please email your shipping address to [email protected] - just to be safe.

Thank you!

Travel Day. I'll be back to your emails and galleries in a few :)

We just beat the rain on our last day in Belvidere, IL. Reese even got herself a fun run just as the drops started to fall. It didn't bother her one bit.

This was a great event, for a great cause with some of my favorite people. This was a fund raiser for the AKC Reunite Disaster Relief Trailer Program. This program provides trailers that can be deployed to areas during natural disasters with specific attention to pets and their people. This is a great cause and there are currently no such trailers in Wisconsin. So the folks at Fast & Fun Dogs -Fast CAT Page are making it their mission to help. You can still contribute to the cause by contacting them via facebook or their website and sending a donation via Paypal. Aline Kleppetsch Denges Don Adams

Regarding event photos: We photograph all runners but post galleries by request. If you are interested in viewing your dogs' photos, please fill out this form: www.mlbaer.com/gallery-request and we will create a personalized gallery - just for you.

Thank you all who attended and all that took part in the raffle and contributed to this awesome cause! Looking forward to seeing you all a future event!

I told Ashley Stafford - if she sold more images from White Post than I sold from Lampeter I would give her a raise. So far I am kicking her butt. Sherri Ruch did her part. The rest is up to you 😆 Shirt sales also count!
