from the
President August 2000 -- By Jill Gallagher Summer is flying by, zucchini is taking over the garden and in the Pacific Northwest, the Pygoras are hitting the fairs. The Pygora show results are starting to filter in and the results look great. If you have pygoras going to fairs in your area, drop us a line. We love hearing all about your fun! Pictures on the PBA Web site. Yes, we need pictures. If you have a photo that you think would be great for the web site which is located at: webmaster@pba-pygora.org please send to PBA attention “Web Master.” It will be a first come, first serve and the web master has the final say so on what will look the best. So get those photos in. And if you want them returned please include a self addressed, stamped envelope for their return home. Also be thinking about this, the next time we ask for breeders to be listed in the breeders book, we will also put you onto the web page. That form will be coming in the months ahead, so be looking for it. Also in the months ahead we will be looking for some interested board members. If you have an interest, we will be looking for you! Board Meeting announcement: We didn’t have a board meeting in the last quarter as summer is a bit busy, but the next meeting is to start on September 11, 2000 which is a Monday. And all agenda items must be on my desk by September 6th which is a Wednesday. So board members and committee members get ready. We have some great job openings that are listed in this newsletter, along with needing a newsletter editor. So please look at the list and see if there is something that you would be interested in doing. We do on the job training. Until we have an official newsletter editor, we will be taking, “Guest Editors”. That is someone that would like to do, just one issue. We have a form to help the editor out with what needs to be in the issue and we will let you have free advertisement in exchange! Wow! So if you would like to just by the job once with out committing full time, to just see what it is like contact me at my address or Email or the home address. I was wondering what you all use to guard your goats or livestock. I use an Anatolian shepherd dog and tall, 6ft. non-climb fences. Although, we love our dog, sometimes we think she tries to guard to much of the neighbors down the roads homes also. So I am not sure, in my situation anyway, if I would do this breed again. So drop me a line and tell me what you are doing to keep your ranch safe and if you would recommend it to others and also what are you protecting against. I have coyotes and mountain lions after the goats and raccoons and possums, bobcats and foxes after the chickens and cats. I would love to hear your solutions. Well, got to go as summer is calling, Bye Now! Jill
Gallagher
