53. Ugh. They suck. Now, they suck more.

I made a small donation to Lucky Dog Rescue and left a comment. I wonder how many 'small donations' will be made because of this. Probably more than a year's worth of dog food!! Compare that to how much business 1-800-Flowers lost...who's the winner NOW?!!?
