Pet of the week-Toby
Toby here and ready to move on! I am a transplant from Texas and lucky for me I arrived here ahead of Hurricane Harvey.
Not so lucky for me I had an old trauma to my left hip, most likely from an accident involving a car but no one can know for sure. The wonderful folks here took great care of me and got me the femoral head ostecetomy surgery I needed to ensure I could lead a much more comfortable and active life in the future. I have had my staples removed and am healing well. I still have to take things a little easy so they won’t let me run and play like I want to yet but they keep telling me I can slowly start to increase my exercise and some day soon I will be able to run and play like I want to.
I am a handsome and lovable fellow. I adore tennis balls, rope toys and am much more of a fan of keep away than fetch but I will trade my toys for a tasty treat. Did I mention I adore piles of comforters to lay on. I get along well with most other dogs, big and small although I can’t really play much (the vet says I need to take it easy for a little while longer). I did get a chance to swim a little at the pool at Camp Spindrift and swimming is great exercise for me and it will help to strengthen my muscles and help me heal faster.
I keep my kennel clean so house-training should be a piece of cake. I am an adult rescue looking for a more adult kind of home, one with older kids maybe 10 years and up who can respect my desire to not share a tennis ball sometimes. If you are looking for a loyal companion than I am your man.
Please come on down, spend some time with me and I am sure you will fall in love just like most of the staff and volunteers have already. To see all of the available cats and dogs at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please go to our website: capeannanimalaid.org

Bring a friend for FREE this week!
Yoga means union, connection and love for ourselves so that we can love others fully and completely. As a studio owner and longtime yogi, I have witnessed the power of yoga to bring people and community together. I have also witnessed the courage and vulnerability it takes to show up to yoga, especially as a new student or as a student that has taken some time off to heal injury or just got busy doing life! Sometimes it just takes a little support from a friend to get us back to our path of health and wellness which is why North Shore Restorative Yoga is excited to offer Bring a friend for FREE this week Monday October 9 thru October 14, 2017. Your friend will receive a complimentary class and you both receive all of the therapeutic benefits of the yoga practice!

Dead injured seal on Long Beach
Know anyone that can aid an injured marine mammal today? There is a seal about 1/2 way down Long Beach. From the boardwalk and at a big distance, I saw it haul itself from the water, heading to the wall (4pm). The seal was negotiating beachwalkers, joggers, dogs and basically looking at everything coming and going. If it sees you, you’re too close. See Kim Smith posts on GMG about what to do if you find a seal on the beach.
People were close enough it barked at them. One of them said that it has a cut on its chest. Phonecalls were made to the local town animal protection numbers. I have seen several dying (and dead seals) on that stretch. Unlike those, this one maybe could benefit from aid?
update: 6:30pm police were by, the tide has gone way out, and someone from an aquarium (?) may be coming. The seal had dragged itself back to the water’s edge. Neighbors, Maureen and Chris, were keeping watch from a distance, at least until it gets dark. Maureen was signaling ‘keep back’ warnings, especially with off leash dogs.
6:30AM next morning- lifeless with no visible gashes or blood, though surrounding sand story of paw prints and drag marks (coyote?)

Beautiful dedication of Morgan Faulds Pike altarpiece in Rockport
Carved from limewood. Look at the range in surfaces!
Dir Rev Karin E Wade developed a very special service today at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 24 Broadway, Rockport, MA. The visitation of Bishop Alan M. Gates and Deacon Bruce Nickerson for the dedication of the graceful and evocative Reredos by sculptor Morgan Faulds Pike was a resounding (and glorious sounding) success. There are wonderful acoustics in this little church.
Bishop Gates related that he was a Russian scholar, and acknowledged the exquisite music and choir immediately. I believe he mentioned the Lvovsky Hospodi Pomiloi specifically (see program notes below). The Offertory Anthem, Each Road, with words by Jeannette M. Lindholm and music by David C. Pike, inspired by Morgan’s work and created for the dedication of the new reredos, was still to come! All of it was so very moving. If you were unable to join today’s dedication,
save the date as there will be a Festive Evensong Dedication on Sunday October 29, 2017 at 4pm

No matter the reality of Columbus’ voyage back in 1492, it’s a glorious thing to have a long weekend in October. Perhaps the theme of this weekend should be one of discovery. Sometimes we seek the discoveries and sometimes they seem to seek us. I’d like to be open to them when they present themselves. It’s easy to cloak ourselves in the weight of daily responsibilities and neglect to look beyond the next task on the list. Here’s hoping you discover something new this weekend!
