My View of Life on the Dock

Special thanks to our local captains including Heath Ellis and Harold Burnham for the extra efforts toward making this a memorable weekend for all! We appreciate all the efforts over the years to build this festival into an iconic event for Gloucester. I think you know who you are.

Meet Mancha, a 5 month old pup who traveled all the way from Puerto Rico with her four siblings in search of her forever home!
Mancha is considered special needs due to an injury she experienced before coming to us that caused some degree of paralysis. Thankfully, this resilient little girl has made an amazing recovery and is now able to walk, run, play, and enjoy life just like any other puppy! She does still have a bit of a funny gait in her back legs, but her current condition is not painful and certainly doesn’t slow her down. Her bathroom habits are affected however, and while Mancha is able to hold her urine, she doesn’t always realize when she is going number 2. Becoming fully potty trained may be difficult and this is something her future family should be prepared to potentially manage long-term.
But don’t tell Mancha she’s any different! She loves other dogs and has been fostered with canine friends who she loves running around and playing with. Her current foster even recently took her paddleboarding, and Mancha was happy to join in on the adventure!
Mancha has also made some special friends around town! Her foster is friends with the Gloucester Fire Department, and after getting to know this sweet girl, some of the firefighters fell in love with her too. They generously donated $150 toward reducing Mancha’s adoption fee to help her find her forever family!
Mancha’s special needs aren’t stopping her from living a happy, active puppy life. She’s looking for a family who will embrace everything that makes her special and give this sweet, adventurous girl the loving home she deserves!

Here’s this week’s music line-up at The Rhumb Line. See you there!
It was so nice to get back to The Lobster on East Main St for lunch last week. I had been craving a taco salad and theirs is outstanding. Love the spicy tang in that salad. Jim got the smashburger which was a nice welcome back from our recent road trip. And, only for the sake of this blog post, I also ordered the key lime pie. Honestly, it’s the BEST. Thank you Lobster staff for such a wonderful experience.

On Sunday the Parade of Sail was incredible. I took over 600 photos the shots just kept on coming. Many observers mentioned how emotional it was to see these beautiful schooners decorating Gloucester Harbor. Thank you to the committee, volunteers, The schooners and wonderful visitors who came to our beautiful city. f

In today’s world, so much emphasis is placed on quick results and instant achievement. Horses don’t operate that way. They teach us that strong foundations take time — and that slowing down is not weakness, but wisdom.
Learning how to approach a horse calmly. Understanding how to move around them safely. Recognizing when a horse feels relaxed or uncertain. These simple moments become the building blocks for everything else.
And often, they become life lessons too.
