always sucks when a place you used to go to shut down
Good thing ponta's so smart/well behaved, some ppl will just shamelessly bring a pet into the store but i can't imagine leaving my dog outside even if i tied the leash to something (tho i only ever walked her for walking's sake versus some quick trip and such, but vending machines aren't everywhere here like in japan, you'd think parks would have one , water fountains aside)
