Do you remember the dime stores of the '60s? Did you ever shop at G.C. Murphy's, Woolworth's, or Newberry's? Discount department stores became very popular in the '70s and dime stores began to close.

It wasn't really surprising that she had a bad heart, possibly the result of poor breeding or inbreeding. The vet didn't have much hope for her. He said Blondie would probably only live a few months up to a year with a leaky heart valve. Blondie showed no signs of having a heart problem. She wasn't coughing or getting tired easily. Since I wasn't ready to give up on her, I found a specialist in the area and scheduled a consultation for...
