We are in our mid 70's and concerned with having to always walk the dogs as we get older.

Thoughts?
When we first moved here in 2022 we had 3 dogs. We have since lost 2 of them but we did choose a courtyard villa because our dogs are used to going outside for exercise but not necessarily on a leash. As our dogs aged and sometimes had to go outside in the middle of the night I was very grateful not to have to put them on a leash at 2am! Luckily our dogs are not barkers nor do we leave them outside unattended to bother the neighbors.
