SEPTEMBER, 2010
Howdy,
How are you goin? Welcome to the September issue of the Bombay Petfoods Newsletter. Here I sit perched precariously between the soon to be "Super City" and the Waikato district on a stunning spring day looking for inspiration out the window. Summer is on the way so there are a few titbits in here to help you with your pets pests for summer, an offer on the latest in environmentally friendly petfood and a sad tale about a death in my family.
RIP Mr Fuzzy
So, we had a death in the family last week, a terrible tragedy occurred just before dinner last Thursday night. It all started when my wife turned up home with a bag of dog biscuits for Poppy the mad mudgutted mongrel that hoons around my house at the speed of sound. When the bag of biscuits was opened (we use these as treats at bedtime), out came a dog toy, Mr Fuzzy to be precise. Now, some of you may recall that Poppy has in the past, destroyed rubber chickens in less time than it takes for Rodney Hide to avoid a direct question (which is pretty quick), but Mr Fuzzy was not subjected to the same destructive forces of nature. Oh no, not Mr Fuzzy, the people of the house all received a personal introduction to Mr Fuzzy. This was accompanied by a look, a tail wag, a nudge in the leg and a bark. Throughout this Mr Fuzzy just lay there looking... well ... Fuzzy and if you moved to pick him up, Poppy would snatch him up, make him squeak once or twice and then the Mr Fuzzy fight was on. Friendly growls, tail wags and chasing around the house to the squeak squeak squeak of Mr Fuzzy. Sooo, everything was going fine and fun was being had for a week or so until..... Mr Fuzzy sprung a leak, yes his furry flock stuffing appeared from a hole in one of his sticky outy bits and like a shark with the scent of blood in its snorkel, Poppy attacked.
Mr Fuzzy didn't stand a chance against Poppy, she shook the flock out of him and poor old Mr Fuzzy squeaked his last squeak. A brief ceremony was held and Mr Fuzzy was cremated. RIP Mr Fuzzy.
Shoo Tags
Now, we attended the Hamilton Pet Expo last month and while we were there, we met heaps of groovy people, big dogs, slightly dodgy looking cats, little dogs, kids, dogs that dribbled, people that look like they'd dribbled , kids that had dribbled and rodents up peoples jumpers but we also met some people that were selling a range of products that I think you might be interested in.
The products are called Shoo Tags (which don't go on your shoes) but are a new way of controlling pests on your pets and people. A chemical free option for pest control, I thought they were very clever and innovative so here's a little blurb on them :
Shoo!Tag's are Chemical Free, Odour Free & Non Toxic

When combined with the energy around an animal the shoo!TAG's magnetic strip emits a frequency that keeps pests away.

They are Effective, Economical and Eco Friendly

Okay, now hold on to your lentils ladies and gentlemen, we've got something exciting for you environmentally conscious people, we now have possum patties available for dog food. I know they are pretty cute (possums that is), but they are an environmental nightmare to New Zealand so I reckon turning them into dog food is a pretty good option.

This product is sourced through a licensed premises and all possums are inspected and approved as fit for petfood. We process them into patties for convenience an they contain 100% pure possum, fur not included. Each pack contains 16 individual patties packed in a vacuum pack and this month as an introductory offer called the
