| When we travel in New Mexico (often), our boys adjust to no grass. Admittedly, they both pee "on things" so there are plenty of bushes/rocks/ect for them to pee on. When we first get there they do sorta look around and then at me like, "Mawawawmmm, where's the grass!?!?". But then they get used to it and "just go"

| Not where we are going to be anyway, I hear you can add some top soil and lay sod and irrigate the heck out of it.

| Water, or the lack of it, is a major problem in NM - the annual rainfall is so little, you really can't use it to grow grass. The babies will get used to not having grass.

| I live in Austin, Texas, now but I grew up in El Paso, Texas. I spent most of my weekends going to our cabin in Alto, NM, or wherever else we felt like driving to growing up. If there is grass in El Paso which is straight desert, I promise you will find grass in NM. There will be more zeroscaping (landscaping with rocks and cactus instead of grass and bushes) but you will still find people who hold out and grow grass. Where in NM are you moving?

| New Mexico` I lived in the 4-corners in Aztec, Farmington, we were 45-minutes from Durango Colorado. And yes they don't have grass. Where I lived they put down rocks.(?) its very desert like. It had the seasons. I loved it there but it was too far away from family. We lived there for 8-years We are back in Texas. My kids are still there. Hope this helps Cheryl/Jack/Bella/some day a biewer |

| You should have plenty of grass around. Everyone I know in that area has it. It is definitely not nearly as desert like as those to the south.....don't even stress over it, you will be fine.

| Hi moving to new mexico, I live in el paso but I visit Albuquerque every 6 months because Trinket has a dry eye and their is an opthamologist in Albuquerque that is just great. It is harder to grow grass on the mountain than in the valley but the dogs adapt quickly to zerocape. In el Paso I live on the mountain and in my back yard there is only rock but we have no fleas or ticks and I consider that a good trade off. I might also mention that if you want grass it is available at a cost....water, fertilizer, mowing, etc. Allow for some time of adjustment but I think you will enjoy the location. It is a nice city.

If you have any vet suggestions in the area I am open to suggestions. The worst part of moving will be finding new doctors, vets, someone to cut my hair etc etc!!
