I think you'll find many in your position. We move and our pets have to adapt to a whole new way of life with us. They'll adjust. They're with their people and that's much more important to them.

Yes, they'll have to walk on a lead but there are some great running areas where they can run and be walked untethered (very large area on Rio Grande behind the mailboxes -- not a dog park). If they're people dogs, they'll get lots of love and attention from strangers. If typical, they'll love riding in the golf cart.

So, shed a tear or two for what they'll lose and then think of what they'll gain -- happy mommy and daddy, lots of attention, new smells and sounds.
