Problem Statement
"Uh..dude? I don't have cash on me right now. Do you mind covering for me?"
"Hey, let me pay for you too. I owe you from that dinner last week" - "Really? uh..sure. Thanks!"
"I am running short on cash? Do you mind paying me the money you owe me from last month's rent?" - "I thought I already paid you last week" - "You did? uh...well.."
These conversations are often are awkward and are due to an underlying problem of keeping track of group expenses, debts and repayments.

Currently, owners don't know of other dogs in their area that they would be comfortable having their dog play with.Their only option is to allow their dogs to meet unfamiliar dogs that they come across by chance during their walks. These dogs can be antisocial and/or aggressive. Even when they do meet friendly dogs, they find it awkward to exchange numbers and schedule meetups with owners they don't know.
