Tonight Max and Calypso were outside playing unbeknownst to me when I took Kia and Chips out for their nightly constitutional.

After they pottied, I asked Jim if he was fine with me letting Chipper off leash. He said to give it a shot.

Chipper charged up to Max, who submitted instantly. They sniffed, licked, and then began to play.

Chipper can be a bit overbearing and dominant which I reign in and he thankfully listens. Max is a sweetheart to put up with Chipper's shenanigans.

Kia just adores Max and play bows to him. And I can thank Calypso who loves to tackle Chipper and divert his attention when he's picking on Max.

So while they may not be best friends, I'm glad it's not all out aggression.
