I am bummed tonight. I learned that one of my favorite local pet stores is closing. I got to be friends with the owner and she kept her animals in great conditions, and tried to be competitive. But in the end it was not profitable for her I guess..
Just bummed. How much longer will the fun local pet stores be around? Before Petco and Petsmarts take over.. I don't know. I bought most everything I needed in the way of supplies from her; I guess now I will just buy online (I started doing that anyway.) I know of another cool shop in Buffalo, but the guy who runs it does it as more of a hobby.. so at least I'll have a supplier of live rats for when I need them.. But it was nice to have a little place to pick up a rat and share a story.
