Took Kimo out (since he was barking). Made a small poop. Then walked to the beginning of the street and back. With periodic stops to pee and eat grass, etc.
As we came back, I saw Frank nearing our house. Frank is the new neighbor's dog, a dachsund. The owner says he not very dog-friendly or people-friendly. But I figured how much damage can he do? So I let him come close to Kimo.
He seemed more curious than anything and came to sniff Kimo. Kimo shied away like he usually does, but then started sniffing Frank. So they mostly were going around sniffing each other. Frank seemed unsure and Kimo seemed apprehensive. But no incidents.
Meanwhile I see and her Teri Ann (or whatever her name is) calling for her dog. I wave to her and she starts walking down.
I tell her no problem, they were just sniffing each other.
She comes to get Frank, but I tell her maybe Frank will follow Kimo up the road. So I take Kimo up the road and Frank follows more or less. Teri Ann comments that it's good that Frank has friends. (Well, I wouldn't go that far yet.)
Anyway, she picked him as he came closer. And so I guess that went OK. Both are now a little more socialized to each other.
It would have been interesting to see Frank and Jojo together.

Meanwhile, Kimo continues to be uncomfortable around Kaya. Sometimes I take him out when Cari takes out Kaya. I don't really bring him that close. But still too close because he tends to charge at her. I guess a pre-emptive strike. I thought he was getting better with her for a while after I walked him with Cari and Kaya up the street a couple of months ago.
And so it goes.
