I LOVE Borders. As you said it has/had everything from books, to dvds to music. Most of it was a bit pricey, but that had some really in depth music and odd movie selections. Their graphic novel selection was awesome

Not all of them are closing, but it sucks the one near you is :(

Oh, no about you doggie. I'm so sorry, you want to help them so much and sometimes you can't.
