San Mateo Photos

Howie and Maxx · #1 01-16-2007, 10:19 AM

Hi Folks,

I posted the first of the photos I took at San Mateo on Saturday. UNFORTUNATELY I had a major electronic failure in my camera but couldn't tell until I got home and put everyting up on the computer. Auto focus and auto exposure were the two main things that went out. My Camera is now in the shop getting repaired. I was able to salvage a good part of Saturday's but most of Sunday's photos are a loss. I will try to salvage as much as I can and post them for you in the next couple of days. I'll try to have the rest of them posted by this evening or tomorrow for sure.

I am TERRIBLY sorry--I REALLY feel awful about this. I know how you were looking forward to pictures of your Champions. But, we'll get this fixed and I'm sure we'll have better pictures in the future than we've ever had.

Thank you for your patience and support. It's important to me to provide you the best photos I can because I know how important your pets are to you--just as mine are to me.

Don't worry about the upcoming Sacramento event. If my camera isn't back in time I should have a loaner and be able to still get pictures for you.

Hope to see you all in Sacramento....hope it's warmer, too :lol:

Thanks for being there Howie (MaxDog).

We all understand how cameras and electronics are.

Thanks for all the hard work

Thanks Greg and Sandra I really appreciate it. There's REALLY something special about our Splash Dog family and I'm so proud to be a part of it.

Also this is an update on the photos----I got the rest of Saturday's posted and a little of Sunday's. I'll have the rest of Sunday's posted tonight---that I was able to salvage, that is.

REALLY looking forward to the Sacramento event, my buddy Maxx will be there and his new little girl friend, Lucy :lol:

Howie, as always you've captured the true spirit of the events. Even in the pics you can see how cold it was, yet dogs just kept popping off that dock! It is so awesome having you at the events!

Thanks Ursala

I love these events and I'm having such a hard time concentrating on work because I can't wait until the Sacramento events :wink:

BTW--I love the new banners that Tony is using now and that Flag on the Dock is SOOO COOL!!! All of that really adds to the photos so nicely and it's so great to see that flying proudly at our events!!

The pictures are a wonderful addition to the really awesome weekend that we had in San Mateo. We're new to this but it was just a blast! Howie, it's so thoughtful that you take the time to do this on our behalf. The vast majority of the pics did make it and they are great fun to look at. Thanks again for all that you do to document the exuberance of the dogs & the fun that they have at Splash Dogs (us handlers too).
cheers,
