Don’t Go There
There is a new pet store in Maryville called Pet Land. The Mrs. went to check it out, hoping that it would be like PetsMart. It wasn’t. The sold all kinds of purebred dogs that likely come from puppy mills, purveyors of misery. We won’t be back.
I like PetsMart because they only have adoption services and don’t sell purebreds. They also let you take your dog (it’s a great place to go to socialize your dog with people and other dogs, cats don’t do so well).
As Bubba tells us, the other pet store in Maryville is not better.

Melissa and I just noticed the new pet store last Sunday when we went to Kay’s Ice Cream. Maryville trivia: it used to be a daycare center.
The Blount County Farmer’s Co-Op kicks next door kicks much ass. The last time I went there the cashier was a UT vet student who was extremely knowledgeable about medicine for our cats.
The co-op also sells hardware, batteries and tires, and gardening supplies. I can’t recommend it enough. They have fair prices and the staff is the sharpest around.
