My View of Life on the Dock
Congratulations Seaside Graphics! https://www.seasidegraphics.com/
After 5pm, I had only got about this far changing the tire when Bill circled back to offer to help–even though he was on his way home and gearing up for a milestone weekend celebration. Thank you ! Congratulations to you and the staff over so many, many years. That’s a long successful run for a local business that is clutch for so many.

On Thursday, after I left the beach due to thunder, it started to rain. Not for long and then the sun came out and looked out my deck and saw this.

After 365 days in the care of Cape Ann Animal Aid, Ozzie finally went home! Ozzie entered our care on July 29th, 2024 after Gloucester’s Animal Control took him into custody. He weighed a mere 46 lbs when he arrived, but after much love and care, he reached a healthy weight and his goofy, lovable personality shone through. He was adopted on July 29th, 2025, on the 1-year anniversary of his arrival!
“Ozzie update. Today makes 2 weeks of him being in his forever home. The first night he was home I woke up at 3am feeling like someone was staring at me. I opened my eyes and realized he was standing above me with his nose about an inch from my nose looking at me. Needless to say I was a little startled, I guess I was snoring and he was curious LOL. The first few days I was looking for his off switch. He had been full tilt from the minute he woke up till bed time. In 2 weeks he has only had 1 potty accident in the house. Ozzie has now settled into the daily routine and is very happy. I now know that I have a permanent shadow. Anytime I walk out of eyesight he immediately gets up to see where I am going. I also learned that the neighborhood now has a permanent watch dog. If a bag blows across the street 4 blocks away he hears it and has to bark at it no matter the time of day or night. He is a very loving boy that just wants to play and be loved. He loves doing zoomies and playing ball in the back yard and also loves going for rides in the truck. He has really enjoyed meeting new friends that have stopped by, offering them his ball to throw, (if they can get it LOL). He is a good boy and I want to thank Cape Ann Animal Aid for allowing me to adopt him. I hope this can give inspiration to other people to give older and bigger dogs a chance at a happy life.”

| PLAY YARD MATCHING CAMPAIGN We have less than $3,000 left to raise to meet our goal of raising $10,000 to improve and reinforce our play yard fencing! And you have 2 more weeks to have your gift matched by Tito’s Handmade Vodka! Through August 31st, Tito’s will generously match every dollar donated up to $10,000. That means your $25 gift becomes $50, helping us reach the $20,000 needed to:✅ Replace the old, dug-out fencing with a secure, permanent solution✅ Add a visual barrier between 2 of 3 play yards (hello, privacy!)✅ Create a calm, safe space where every dog can enjoy time outdoors—especially those who need a little extra space or get overstimulated easily These thoughtful updates will help dogs who are shy, reactive, or recovering from tough experiences feel safe and supported. With visual separation between play yards, they can enjoy outdoor time without the stress of seeing other dogs constantly. |

Long Walk Home…
We were prepped and ready…..drinks in hand and toes in sand….to enjoy the sunset last night and then that storm rolled in (click post to see time lapse video). Fortunately, after sitting in the car for a bit, the storm passed and it turned into a beautiful evening and a perfect sunset.
It feels as though many people are unaware that this is the 100th anniversary of the Fishermen’s Memorial Monument! There’s a great article by Gail McCarthy in the current edition of the Cape Ann magazine if you are interested. One of the Generous Gardeners recently advised that the Memorial looked exceptionally pretty this year with the flowers at the base and that I should document it, so here you go. The annual Fishermen’s Memorial Service will be held Saturday Aug 16 at 5 PM along Stacy Boulevard at the sight of the memorial. You may want to consider attending for this special anniversary. The procession begins at the American Legion on Washington St and proceeds to memorial tp honor those lost at sea. All are invited to attend. For additional information click this link.
Good Morning Gloucester
