Dave's Newsletter
March 1st, 2010
Howdy,
How are you goin? I'm sitting up here on my perch atop the Bombay Hills on a stunning clear summers day and I can see right down to Raglan. Awesome.
Judith the QE2 trust lady and a mate from way back has just driven down the drive in her purple Hilux full of dogs to pick up some Dog Sausages and I'm about to tackle my second coffee for the day so all is good in my world.
This leads me almost seamlessly if not logically into a theme worthy of further investigation, what sort of animals (cats or dogs) would our famous vocalists / rock stars be if they were cats or dogs?
Lets start with Pavarotti : he'd have to be a Saint Bernard, Elton John : Poodle x Chinese crested dog would suit him I reckon, so long as his crest didn't blow off in the breeze, Elvis Presley : Hound Dog, Willie Nelson : I think he would have to be a retired drug sniffer dog suffering from RSI, Tom Jones : Bull terrier x poodle (just look at the face then the hair doo), Barbara Streisand : Afghan Hound, Mick Jagger : Stray Ginger tom with a fat lip, Leo Sayer, Chihuahua poodle cross.
Ah, the list could go on and on, I can just picture Mick Jagger sitting on top of a fence looking all mangy and straggly screeching at the top of his lungs.
Anyway, as always, this is the publication where we ask the big questions like:
A: They only have one tail.
Now last month we ran a caption competition for the photo of the swimming cat, angry lookin fella that he was, and the winner is: Susan McMillan with "Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water" Susan, send an email to sheryl@jimbos.co.nz and claim your prize.
We had a heap of entries to the caption competition so I thought I would slip another one in this month. The best caption for this mad looking dog wins 5 x $6 Jimbos vouchers. Send your entries to david@jimbos.co.nz, good luck. On the back of that, if anyone can send in a snap of a dog looking more demented than this poor fella you get a jimbos chiller bag and goodies.(the condition is it has to be your own animal not a download)
Now, from the Jimbos I don't believe what I'm seeing file, check out this guy, a dog claiming to be the tallest dog in the world that has his own website, facebook page and twitter thing going on. Yep, you guessed it, only in America. I bet he even has his own bark activated cellphone. Click on www.giantgeorge.com and check him out.
Okay, Jimbos single serves are now hitting the market, these are a snap off 80 gram portion of Jimbos Pure Beef. Each portion is perforated and peelable with a portion size to suit most adult cats. Five portions per pack, they are a easy no mess way to feed your cat and great if you are going away to ensure the neighbours don't over feed.

This month's prize pack winner is Tracy Shaw. Please contact sheryl@jimbos.co.nz to claim your prize.
