Finally got here with kids and dog
Hi Everyone, after landing just over a week ago, our trip went pretty smooth with regards worrying about my dog Stanley. Flew for Heathrow with A/C and staff were great. Went to a special check in and the guy dealing with my dog was great and very helpful with any questions. Make sure aswell as the feeder and water bowl you have a funnel as it was a must as I nearly didn't bother but could have purchased one for $5. Dog was just excited and happy to see me at other end and made no mess in his Kennel, bless him.
Hopefully I have offered some peace of mind for anybody a bit worried about flying their pet over.

Know how you felt about your dog ! We did the trip in june from glagow with 3 german shepherds and two siamese cats ! WE got our knickers in a twist-they were fine !
Where on earth is Hubley when it's at home ?

Re: Finally got here with kids and dog
Hi guys
yep, certainly is cold, -16 last night and a hell of alot more with windchill. Didn`t realise how good thermal underwear can be!
Marathonwreck, Hubley is just 10/15 minutes out of Halifax, take highway 103 and we are in a quiet subdivision called "Lake of the Woods" just 2 minutes off exit 4. It`s a pretty neat place to live, and I know it`s been said a million times before on these forums, but there was no way we could have afforded a house like this in an area like this back in Blighty!
So far I love everything about Nova Scotia. It`s early days but I can`t see me ever returning home.
