From my notebook:

• My husband and I were pleased to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony at PrimePet Rehab in Myrtle Beach on Saturday. Dr. Tom Walsh and his staff were amazing when they treated our dog, Petey, recently. Petey had been paralyzed in all four legs and now he can walk, run, jump and play again thanks to PrimePet's therapies. Mayor Brenda Bethune cut the ribbon Saturday at the new facility on Mr. Joe White Avenue and she made a heartfelt speech about how her dog, Max, was rehabilitated at PrimePet, too. PrimePet requires referral from a veterinarian at the moment, but plans to offer other services as time goes on. (PrimePet Rehab)
• New13's Pet of the weekend is Oreo, a young dog available for adoption from Grand Strand Humane Society. Oreo has a unique look! Oreo is trained. He loves other dogs and car rides. He is either a Lab or a hound mix and he's very friendly and playful. (WBTW) Grand Strand Humane Society had to temporarily close one location due to sick volunteers. The shelter was so short-staffed that, when two volunteers got sick, there was not enough staff to cover all the GSHS locations. All locations should reopen within a day or so. (wpde.com)
• Myrtle Beach Pelicans: "The annual Guns & Hoses Charity Softball Game will be played on Saturday, November 12 at Pelicans Ballpark! The event will feature an 8-team showdown between local first responders with proceeds benefiting SOS Care and Horry County Project Lifesaver." (Myrtle Beach Pelicans via Facebook)
• In a press release issued on Friday, Myrtle Beach-based Grace Revealed, LLC announced that it is celebrating its third anniversary on November 15 from noon to 1 p.m. at the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce offices. The company provides stress-reduction training for workplaces. (GraceRevealedLLC.com)
• As we approach Veterans Day on Friday, some Horry County volunteers gathered together to help the veteran community of Myrtle Beach. A group of volunteers including some employees from Home Depot in Murrells Inlet got together and beautified the Disabled American Veterans Center of Myrtle Beach building by adding a fresh coat of paint, some flowers and a new flag garden. Chapter 30 DAV Commander Michael DiLeo expressed his appreciation to the group. Veterans may attend chapter meetings at the facility on the first Thursday of every month. (WMBF)

About me: The best decision I ever made was relocating to the Myrtle Beach area from New England a few years ago, with my three dogs and three cats. I enjoy dogs, cats, road trips, photography, writing, vegetarian food, live music, bicycling and above all my daily walks on the beaches in and around the Grand Strand.
