I know some of you guys are or have been doggo owners, really sad day today I lost my little puppy earlier in the evening... she was over 19 years old so a really long life, been around for half of mine. Lived 6 years with a cancerous sarcoma believe it or not. Cuts deep. I miss her so much already
Willing to sell a family member for a few minutes on RS

Losing a dog is horrible. The most awful thing I've ever had to endure. Made 1000x worse by my active decision to put him down. The guilt of deciding their life or death is something you really never get over. At least in your puppy's case, she went on her own terms, and that in itself is a blessing. Also, you were there with her till the end and im sure she's there looking over you forever onwards.
Its been over a year since we lost Monty in sept and i still think of him every day. i still top up his food bowl, i still talk to his stuffed version like he's still around. I even take glass vial of his hair everywhere we go. Took that vial to HK, the US, Australia, etc.
It'll take some time to process this grief. When youre ready, you'll find your own way to memorialize your pup. I got big ass prints made, and this stuffed dog. they do a pretty good job (although it took like 3 months and it was about 400 dollars)
^ the lotto tickets are so Monty can tell me what the winning numbers are and then i can use the money to clone him and bring him back to life. Also to take over the world.

Losing a dog is tough, not everyone understands how tough either. In some ways, it's worse because we always see them as our kids and you aren't supposed to see your kids pass away before you do. Condolences
Does BC retail sale mean much of anything across the nation though? I'd hardly think so.
On any given weekday, you can see gob tons of Ah Mo's, Ah Bak's (ie. older aunties and uncles), working age people, and even younger faces (ie. early 20's?) having dim sum and shxt at Chinese restaurants. I was at Richmond Center a few weeks ago, and the Lego store is packed with ballin parents buying big a$$ boxes of Legos for their 7 or 8 yrs old. Didn't someone recently say McArthur Glenn was packed with SE Asians?
I've always been under the impression that BC has gob tons of people that doesn't need to work.
I think fast fashion, semi-premium retail, and off-price does really well in BC.
Go to any TJX store at any time of the day in the Lower Mainland and it's full of middle-aged women just browsing and filling their baskets full of random crap. Parking lots in any TJX in the suburbs are full of crossovers. In terms of my own shopping, I have found really good deals at off-price over the years (and not just outlet-brand clothing that is specifically made for off-price), so I can see the appeal especially if you're not a working slave and have all of the time in the world.
There's always people at Aritzia, Lulu, Zara.
It's probably HELOCs and a lot of underground economy feeding retail.
