Around Dutchland, July, 1994

by Penny Pyrbred

It's hard to believe that when the last issue was being 
prepared there was snow everywhere. Now we have blazing heat and 
Penny is spending most of her time in air conditioned bistros imbibing 
lots of liquid refreshment! Some scientists blame the weird weather on 
a hole in the ozone layer and are looking for something to supplement 
this insulating layer of the atmosphere. Penny suggests Pyr hair. 
It's light, an effective insulator, and environmentally friendly. 
Just send the Shuttle up to the problem area with an enormous hair 
ball of Pyr fur, and poof, no more problem!  NASA, however, has yet 
to respond to my fax.

Elsewhere in this issue there are reports on Penn-Dutch's well-attended 
supported entry show in Harrisburg, and the GPCA National Specialty 
in Iowa. Conrad Gill and escort, Ms. PB Marple, had an especially 
good time at the Pyrenees Ball, which was formal this year. The Iowa 
Pyrs hosted an exceptionally elegant and fun event which will be tough 
to top. Too bad the hotel management didn't appreciate the Pyr hair 
in their swimming pool filters. Perhaps next season's Pyr swim suit 
should feature a large hair net.

Heat or no heat, Penny is looking forward to seeing all her people 
and Pyr friends at the Penn-Dutch Fun Match July 30th. Last year we 
got a real break in weather, and maybe that will be repeated this 
year. The Lancaster Central Park is a great place to play, and there 
will be lots of fun, food and games for both people and Pyrs. (The 
food isn't, strictly speaking, supposed to be for the Pyrs, but practice 
looking cute, folks, and the people will share.) I hope to see everyone 
there.
