Re: Shops and Stores in NS

To most Canadians, I would have to say that this is a really stupid question.

Re: Halifax Hotels

Hi,
We really like Halifax's Waverly Inn on Barrington St.

Re: Docked tails

Another thing to watch out for is if the puppy is sold with a "non breeding contract". It probably wouldn't matter if you have no intention of breeding,

Re: Nova Scotia: Shelburne or Yarmouth?

I would check to see what the cancellation policy for the hotel is.
As far as I know, most require 48 hours notice, or they will charge your credit card.
