What lovely plans you have for your life. Not that I give advice, ....but binka_nugget, don't wait till you are too old to enjoy it. IF this is what you want in life, then do your utmost to make it happen. I don't know how old you are.....NOR do I want to know. !!!!!!! If you can make this become a reality, with your dogs on a farm then save, plan for it and by golly ..Do It !!!

You only have one life, and you can't go back once you have grown old.
