The last half of your inquiry is spot on. Good, active friends of ours swore that their new pup would not interfere with their activities, however, it was not long before they were leaving socials early to tend to the pup, or turned down invites due to the pup, or cancelled activities because the pup needed the vet, etc. Totally changed their lifestyle as it was similar to having a child. It's good that you are giving this careful and full consideration. I love dogs but at this point they just don't fit into what we are doing.
