> Wag.com, introduced Wednesday, sells 10,000 pet items like food, litter, toys, clothing and grooming supplies. Quidsi, which was acquired by Amazon.com for $500 million last year, also runs Diapers.com for baby supplies, Soap.com for drugstore items and BeautyBar.com for cosmetics.

Incidentally, I've been buying all my dog food online for a few years. Giant bags of dog food with free shipping. And nowadays my little USPS lady has to carry them up the stairs on Sundays.

I think she might hate me, but I don't think Amazon is going out of business.
