Every summer without fail, hot spots were among the most common reasons dogs came through the door at Manchester Animal Hospital. The condition has several clinical names.
The Town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, for quite some time, has identified the need for a suitable location for our seniors to gather. Over the past few years, that dream has become more of a reality.
With the World Cup underway, it’s time to embrace all things soccer. The publishing world certainly has. This season there are new books about all aspects of the game, for both children and adults.

I've spent thirty years watching ticks turn people's lives upside down. Not metaphorically, literally.
