Acupetvet Announces New Location
Owner Dr. Tasha Wilson is excited to announce that Acupetvet, PLLC, has located to 279 High Street in Somersworth NH. Established in 2016, Acupetvet has focused exclusively on medical acupuncture, laser therapy, nutritional consults, and hospice care/end-of-life services in the comfort of the home environment. Since then, Dr. Wilson has expanded her practice to include veterinary rehabilitation therapy.
Acupetvet continues to offer housecall services but will now incorporate the unique fusion of modern alternative integrative therapy techniques with a caring and personal touch into the clinic environment. The clinic, designed to closely resemble a comfortable home environment, offers clients and their beloved pets a peaceful and comforting environment in which to receive treatment. Dr. Wilson's perspective is that while the home is almost always best for treating her patients, the clinic should be just as comfortable.

T-Shirt Frenzy at Blue Dolphin
Soon after the Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series, another competition began to brew in downtown Somersworth.
As is customary after a New England-based pro team wins a championship,
Blue Dolphin
's workers were on the job through the night so fans could celebrate with a new T-shirt as early as possible.
Blue Dolphin operation manager Edward Lalone said the factory was to print about 20,000 shirts to celebrate the Red Sox victory. The shirts were bound for a distribution center in Massachusetts, where they will then be sent to stores, ready to be gobbled up by Red Sox fans across New England. The original order to Blue Dolphin was for about 16,000 shirts, but that was bumped up an additional 4,000. While the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins have all celebrated championships since the start of the 21st century, Blue Dolphin has also produced championship shirts for teams outside the region, such as the Philadelphia Eagles after last February's Super Bowl.
