Good Morning Gloucester

Through the Grapevine…

When I saw the bevy of surfers enjoying the remnants of Ernesto, I couldn’t help but wonder what a group of surfers is called. Is like an animal grouping: a murder of crows etc?

Anyhow, it’s good to note that beach enthusiasts should check to make sure their favorite beach is open before leaving the house. We’ve had a number of closures recently that appear to be storm related. The Gloucester Beaches Facebook page is a good place to start.

Nocturne…

We decided to stop in at Cape Ann Lanes on Gloucester Ave for lunch at Laneside Pub and Brewery. It wasn’t quite nice enough to eat outside, but there is outside seating available. We had some brew and snacks including pizza and an appetizer assortment platter. The place was hopping with families bowling and enjoying the games as well as the grub! When you enter, you are greeting in a friendly manner and service is prompt and efficient. It’s a nice little break if you are seeking such.

The state of veterinary medicine has advanced significantly in recent years and thanks to the availability of more effective medicine, many pets are living longer than they would have years ago. With age however, comes the onset of problems such as arthritis and other forms of pain and inflammation. Conventional pharmaceuticals commonly used to treat pain sometimes have a negative impact on the immune system, GI tract, liver, and kidneys. Additionally, they don’t always work as well as we would like them to – for humans as well as our pets.

CBD is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory which can help your senior pet experience better joint health in their Golden Years. Please stop in for a free consultation for your pet Friday or Saturday 11-4 to speak with a Certified CBD Consultant or call 978-985-4592.
