REACH K9

10/22/2026

I'm shamelessly pulling rank today and using the REACH page to promote my hobby—one of the perks of being the boss! 😉

Most of you know that when I'm not working with our canine companions, I love getting crafty. Recently, I added a laser engraver to my craft room and have been having an absolute blast making some pretty neat custom pieces. I’ve given a few away as gifts, and everyone keeps telling me I should be selling them. So... here goes nothing!

I’ll be highlighting different products as I get the hang of them, and this week, it's all about custom tumblers. I’ve added some videos down in the comments so you can see the full designs. (Fair warning: they are definitely not staged or edited—just me being a little proud of my work!)

Right now, while I'm still learning the ropes, these 20 oz custom tumblers are just $25. That price will likely go up as my skills do, since each design is a unique work of art that takes time to create.

If you're interested in grabbing one, send me a message!

This morning, our adventuring party set out before the sun had risen too high. Our trek led us into the village, where, nestled in a quiet, shaded corner of the town green, a modest stone stood vigil. It is the kind of marker easily overlooked by everyday travelers, but a stray glint of morning light against weathered bronze gave away its presence. Etched into its face lies a ward of patient magic—a century-long temporal seal. This stoic guardian satisfies the Sentinel’s trial; though I certainly hope our own vault doesn’t demand another 74 years to open! ⏳🗝️ Perhaps the Three Sisters will have the answer.

(If you are utterly confused - you may have missed yesterday’s campaign kickoff post! October 1–7 is National Walk Your Dog Week, and to inspire everyone to get outside and explore with their pups, we devised a clever scavenger hunt across the realm. 🗺️🐾

Because the infernal Facebook algorithms won't let us post direct links, your very first quest begins on our main website: head over to the calendar page and look for your clue planted on today's date—the day the adventure begins! 🗝️✨)

Tomorrow, October 1, kicks off Pet Wellness Month! 🐾

Coincidentally, October 1–7 is also National Walk Your Dog Week. 🐕 We originally planned to share a few daily walking suggestions for inspiration, but—well—it turned into something much grander! (You can thank Carter for the upgrade 🐺✨)

We are posting the campaign lore tonight so you and your four-legged companion can plan your route. There are seven primary objectives to uncover, and they can be tackled in any order throughout the week. If life gets busy or daylight runs thin, fear not—find Chronos for a time extension! ⏳

Creative approximations are fully accepted if an objective isn’t directly on your path; the Game Master values clever craft and good-faith adventure above all else. 🌲📦

Now - because the infernal Facebook guards block outside doorways without collecting a fee, the very first step of your journey is a puzzle: your first trial is to find the Quest Log itself! Head directly to our main website and look for a clue on the date the adventure begins! 📜🔍

The roads are waiting, the autumn winds have begun to stir, and your most trusted companion stands ready at your side—scout, guardian, and steadfast ally. 🍂🐾

Unearth the hidden Tome of Quests from our archives, consult your map, and venture past the gate. Gather proof of the realm’s secrets, and return before the Game Master to speak the unbinding words and claim the champion’s bounty. 🏆

Your quest begins at dawn. 🌅

God Speed, Brave Adventurers!

Achieving a High in Trial is an incredible feat, but taking home the Combined High in Trial requires a remarkable level of consistency, communication, and partnership across multiple runs. It represents the absolute pinnacle of the weekend's achievements and a true testament to the bond between dog and handler.

To honor this extraordinary accomplishment at our Black Tie Gala, our Combined High in Trial winner will be awarded this beautifully crafted wooden keepsake box. Featuring delicate carved details and a custom engraved plate, it is designed to be a timeless piece to hold your most treasured trial memories, favorite ribbons, or small mementos of your dog's journey.

We cannot wait to see which brilliant team takes home this top honor this weekend!

((If you're seeing the award pics and wishing you had entered - you're in luck. We've opened up DoS entries! Come join the fun!))

This weekend we will be honoring High in Trial competitors. It's not something we always do- but it seemed fitting for our Black Tie theme. These are our Gala Laureates.

In the spirit of distinction, a "laureate" is one honored for exceptional achievement, marked by their remarkable skill and celebrated performance within a particular discipline. It is a fitting title for those who exemplify hard work, dedication, and true mastery in canine sports.

​We are so proud to celebrate our High in Trial competitors, who embody this level of skill and teamwork. To honor their achievement, each distinguished High in Trial winner will take home more than just a title. Each winner will receive a custom rosette and a handcrafted Amish leather leash. These leashes, with their classic tags and quality craftsmanship, serve as a functional accolade and a stunning, lasting memory of a truly remarkable accomplishment.

​Congratulations to all competitors, and here's to celebrating partnership and skill!
