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.

I agree. The boys will love riding in the golf cart as their new adventure. Seems like all the dogs love doing that!

We had a house (on a main street) in the city and a house on a lake in the woods up north. Our dog LOVED running free and being on the lake on weekends. But during the week, we played with him he did just fine in the city. He just wanted to be with us!

So never fear - just so long you are there they dogs will be HAPPY!
