We will be living WAY out in the country, on 40 acres. The land is all desert, no trees or anything, a few little mountains, but all sand. The yard will not be fenced, so they would have free range, but I dont want them to be outside on there own and get bit by a snake or give chase to a rabbit and not know where they are when the stop, and nobody is home...

My mom, sister, and I will be at school and work, and my dad will be home most of the time, but he is gone a week out of every month to come back to Minnesota.

My grandpa is staying on the farm in his trailer house, and we are going to rent the house out. So there will be another couple living in our house, but my grandpa isn't leaving, the dogs will be in the exact same place.

My grandpa will not have any other pets, but I was HOPING that if it came down to us bringing the dogs, we could adopt an elderly dog from the HS for him, but I'm not sure he would go for that as he doesn't like a lot of change.

He is very very well and does everythign on his own, so he is well enough to take care of the dogs. He loves the dogs like they were his own, and they adore him. He has treats in his shop and water for them, and Autumn sleeps on his deck at night instead of across the yard on ours. So they love him too.
