Oh, I'm very sorry - about Borders, and about the doggie, too. (One of our dogs is approaching that point, but she's not quite there yet.)
We don't have a Borders in my town - it's a B&N - but I know how sad I would be if it went away! There's just something about browsing books in real life that's so much more fulfilling and satisfying (and inspiring!) than getting books online. I like the convenience of places like Amazon.com, but I don't want it to make bookstores go away completely; that would make me sad. :( (Though, at the very least, I think we will probably always have small used-book stores; it's not quite the same as a giant, brightly-lit BOOK EMPORIUM, though ...)
It's possible that if you don't have a local Borders, your Barnes & Noble will expand its stock to fill the market niche. Ours has not just books but also music, movies, and journals & other writing things.
