Nope. I went to me vets right across the street and saw it was all papered up and signs were off windows. No loss in my opinion.

They said at the PL meeting that the store closed due to lack of business.

Oh so sad I hate when a business goes belly up!

I know what it feels like! My husband and I used to own a hobbyshop and the economy and the internet killed us. You wouldn't believe the # of people that would walk in the door and ask for a better price on stuff. I always felt like saying sure I don't have any bills to pay I will just give you anything you want at a discount.

We are still paying the bills too. We wont be free of it for another 4-5 years..

I will not go into all I know about this store and it's owners. I am sorry that lack of sales drove them to close. I did not agree with their method of madness so to speak. It was a huge mess on CL everyday.

I saw it down too. I was in there several times. Very helpful, good conversation, and good selection of items. Would even special order for me!

Does anyone know of a decent shop in the Bel Air area? Also looking for a decent breeder as well!

Thanks!

Everyone is having trouble weathering this economy, and unfortunately, small business owners are really having a hard time. I'm sorry to hear of the store closing.

It might be a little hike for you, probably about an hour, hour and a half depending on where you are but there is a place in pa called rentzels bird farm, I haven't made it out there to tell you what it's like but I haven't heard anything bad. I've been meaning to go and check it out but our car hasn't been running as of late so it's still on my to do list.
