Parks4Pups would like to thank the 280 dogs that brought their families to show off their athleticism and love of life at our sixth annual Dog Splash Days event in Templeton. The dogs leapt with abandon, dived to the bottom of the pool and captured every traitorous yellow banana, rubber duck and Frisbee.

Thanks to our incredible photographers Jeff Bowen, Roger Bowsky, Gail Gresham, Hope Harrington, Char Holway, Nick Monzo, Julia Posmoga and graphic designer Jan Wolfinger, we have photos and a 2013 calendar to savor the special moments.

I encourage everyone to visit our website at www.parks4pups.org to view their artistry.

Event and calendar proceeds benefit Vineyard Dog Park of Templeton, which is funded solely by donations and maintained by volunteers.

Dog kisses and wagging tails to our sponsors SLO County Parks, Rabobank of Templeton, Supervisor Frank Mecham, our numerous volunteers who make this event possible and to the dogs that make us so proud.
