After spending the last 26 years as a fixture in the Parksville pet scene, Erna Grant is calling it quits. The owner of Best Friends Pets in Parksville is retiring and closing the store. Anyone who wants to bid a fond farewell to Grant, dogs Bentley and Rudy or Tango, the talking parrot, should make a point of heading down to Best Friends Pets on McCarter Street before the end of the month.
