C L A W _ 2 0 2 6 Grateful for the moments, the people, and the purpose behind it all. From volunteering to learning and connecting—every part of this weekend carried meaning. @clawinfo.org Always showing up. Always evolving 🖤 #CLAW26 #Leatherman #LeatherFetish #DehnerBoots #BLUF #TomsMen

i had a really wonderful time at #CLAW2026 in Columbus. the CLAW organizers, hotel staff, and city of Columbus really stepped up and showed us how a signature leather, fetish, kink, BDSM event can be held with excellence & fun. plus i loved dancing at AWOL bar & #Nashty’s eternally party! #CLAW26

Was an awesome CLAW weekend! Explored lots of new things, and met lots of new people and pups, though probably just as many I missed a chance to interact with. Don’t be strangers 😁🐶💙💚🩷 #claw26 #pupplay #bound #ropeplay #shibari
