DITH Nov 7 – Pets.com closes

November 6th, 2009 | Author: Jeffrey Powers

2000 – It was a time that would be known as when the Bubble burst – dot com-ers losing their sites and livelihood. Pets.com was no different. They had a pretty good run, but couldn’t make the books run. They even had a mascot – a sock puppet of a dog holding a microphone – that made the marketing of the site. Nonetheless, the only good sales at Pets.com were the sock puppets. The puppet was sold upon bankruptcy to a company called Bar None – an auto loan firm.
