Yes. But there are Sobey's in Kanata and Orleans too. Not that I'd ever live in Orleans though.

There are actually multiple Sobey's in Ottawa but they are all outside the Greenbelt.

I don't think they're anything too special though. The one thing I can be certain of with Sobey's is that if they have anything decent on sale, they won't have any of it in stock.

^ I don't usually shop at Sobey's but I thought it was a Western Canada thing.

It's actually an Atlantic Canada thing. They are headquartered in Nova Scotia. I've been in one in Saint John and it was much nicer then the ones I've been in in Ontario.

I knew there was one in Barrhaven, but that's so out of my way I would never go to it... however I know there are Sobey's in the east... considering I saw quite a few when I was in NS for the past week...

I'm pretty sad, because this dog is my childhood pet. She's almost 14, and has lived a very good life, and I knew this day would come eventually... but I think that deep down I was secretly hoping she'd live as long as I do!
Good luck to you and your dog...I hate hearing about things like this.

I'm so sorry . This is always a really hard thing to go through.
I will hope for good news for you with your dog. They really are family.

I feel like going ape on the people who live below me, who insist on blasting their damn rave music all throughout the night, far too often.

Well Sobeys, or at least the ones in Ottawa, now carry them. And best of all, they carry more then one flavour. I picked up Original, Chewy Caramel, and (for the first time) Dark! Can't wait to have some tonight while watching the Sens (hopefully) beat the hell out of the Leafs.

Chicken I was planned to have for dinner wasn't defrosted so I've got to improvise and nachos it is! Hopefully, this goes better then the last time I had nachos and didn't eat for 36+ hours afterward.

There is nothing worse, when eating chocolates, than to be expecting one type of chocolate and instead end up biting down on coffee-caramel.

Blech.

Agreed, except for me it is when I bite down on coconut flavoured ones.

Coffee-caramel sounds good. For me it's biting into a chocolate, getting a funny feeling in my mouth, taking a closer look at the ingredients list and discovering that I missed cashew/pecan/walnut/hazelnut the first time I looked.

For me, it's biting into a chocolate that has some kind of fruit in it. Gross.
