Pet of the Week- Felix


Do you enjoy travel and cruising around and are looking for someone who would enjoy car rides as much as you do? Well then here I am! I love going for rides, just sitting in the seat and watching the world go by, maybe I was born for an RV lifestyle? Felix here and considering myself a lucky guy for getting to travel from Georgia up here to Massachusetts to find a new family I can relish as my own! I am a very affectionate fellow and want to be part of your day. I get along great with the other pooches here and don’t mind having other small dog roommates here so wouldn’t mind sharing my new home with a canine sibling or two. I spent some time in foster before traveling here and my foster family had this to say. “Felix was sort of needy and whiny his first few nights in my home but once he figured out the schedule and what was expected of him he settled right in. Felix is very well crate trained, and walks great on the leash. He is not 100% house-trained but does well with supervision. He really loves attention but likes to explore too. I have never seen him react negatively to anything or anyone. I honestly think that Felix would be a great addition to any home that plans to treat him with patience and positive, consistent reinforcement. He is so very special and deserving of a posh life in his older years!” So what do you say, take a chance on me?

Turkey Trauma

A few turkeys were walking around the side yard of campus yesterday so I walked outside to take some photos of them.  Imagine my horror when I realized that one had a long arrow straight through its body!  While it seemed to walking fine and keeping up with its friends, it was totally heartbreaking to see.  I can only imagine the pain and discomfort the arrow must be causing.

I made a phone call to Beverly Animal Control who told me to call Fish and Wildlife who told me to call Boston Wildlife Rescue.  They asked for photos and asked for us to keep an eye out to see if the turkey is able to roost at night and whether or not it looks like it is eating, etc.  Hopefully they will come find it this week to see if there is anything they can do.

GLOUCESTER’S AWESOME DPW HARD AT WORK AND ON THE JOB!

Phil Curcuru shares that a new and improved boardwalk is being installed this week at Good Harbor Beach at the #2 location, directly in front of the snack bar. The boardwalk will be wide enough to be handicap accessible.

Thank you Phil and Mike, and thank you to the Gloucester DPW for the tremendous job they do maintaining Good Harbor, and all of Gloucester’s public beaches, throughout the year.

Wanderbird Open House At Gloucester Marine Railways Saturday May 27th

Good morning Joey. It’s Rick here from the vessel Wanderbird over at Gloucester Marine Railways. Hey we are having an open house on the vessel Saturday May 27, 1500-1800. The purpose is to introduce folks to our new floating gathering area for groups of families and/or friends. We are anticipating offering an afternoon or evening aboard at harbor side for groups of up to 12. The evening would start with snacks and wine while sitting in comfortable chairs on the open deck. We would then move into the coach house for appetizers of maybe local scallops wrapped in bacon and then dinner of possible local fresh sole picatta, wild rice and rolls from a near by bakery. To sum it up, a group of 12 can spend the evening on a beautiful vessel, eating and drinking all while getting close up in personal with one of the finest kind harbors we’ve ever met. Can you help us promote this to your loyal followers? Cheers, Rick

Salt Island

The light on Friday at Good Harbor Beach was so beautiful.  Could not stop myself from getting my camera.  Looking forward to be able to sit in my chair and taking a swim.
