Aww, I'm sorry. :( About both things. It's awful when you have to have pets put to sleep. My brother had to have his black lab put to sleep just before Christmas - congestive heart failure. I loved that dog.

I haven't found out yet if the Borders near me is on the closings list, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised. It's not really in a great location and there's rarely very many cars in the parking lot. It's too bad. :( Everything is going digital. I'm not really mourning the video places, but it's a real shame to be losing the bookstores.
