colors rhyming with 'urple'

on my way to the gym today, i noticed a new sign above the recently vacated space (which had previously been a gym) next to it. in big, curving purple letters, it read puppyville. what the hell kind of store is that? the name evokes faint childhood memories of that depressing peanuts gang cartoon, snoopy come home. as a child i always imagined that the daisy hill puppy farm was a twisted, evil establishment of animal torture and abuse. i don't know why. but this does not abode well for puppyville...at least, for me. i'm guessing that this place will, in fact, sell puppies or dog-related items. i don't like pet stores. i never have. something about big animals and small cages rubs me the wrong way. but do you know what's on the other side of my gym?! a mammoth store called animal jungle. can you guess what they sell? this has to be the most redundant, flintstones-house-like city...ever.
