JUST BE NICE TO ME
Ken-Dogger: Hey Shakes, what’s going on?
Shakes: Feeling a little sad to tell you the truth…
KD: On Christmas weekend, you’re feeling sad?
S: Yep, I can feel it draining…
KD: What’s draining?
S: That Christmas spirit, it crested two days ago, and now it’s falling again.
KD: Wow, what must we do to keep it up?
S: You’re still talking Spirit right? OK, then…We just need to be nice.
KD: That’s right, just be nice to me…it’s a simple task.
THE PLEASURE OF LONG LASTERS
Morning Lasters,
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Krypto, what up?
Krypto: Bro, did you hear that speech from King Battery? It brought a tear to my eye.
KD: Didn’t hear it…
K: It was inspiring, talkin’ ‘bout lasting long for the boys and girls. Keeps their toys goin’
KD: It sure helps the parents out doesn’t it.
K: It’s an important lesson, long lasting leads to increased pleasure.
KD: In toys?
K: In most things Dogger
KD: Good to know, Krypto, good to know…
Morning Peeps,
Hopefully, yesterday's meal didn't unfold like this...
It always helps to review the subject matter content prior to assigning tasks at the Holiday Table...
Ken-Dogger: Malph, you better get out of there.
Malph: What you mean, I’m just chillin’.
KD: You’re under the tree and you’re messing gifts up.
M: I thought they were mine…
KD: Interesting you only tore open the ones with the weird taping.
M: The nice ones were so beautiful…
KD: And you didn’t want to disturb them?
M: No, I knew weird ones were from you…so the selection followed.
KD: You do know me Malph, Merry Christmas…
M: And to all the peeps who follow us, Merry Christmas.
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
MC & HH Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Donner
Donner: …And so this is Christmas, well how do you do?
KD: Well, this is Older Christmas, it’s not like this everywhere.
D: Really?
KD: Lots of homes buzzing with activity, and sharing, and love.
D: So, you experience that differently now?
KD: Now, we don’t often see it, but we very often hear about it.
D: So, Christmas is about activity and sharing and seeing and hearing love?
KD: You got it.
Ken-Dogger: Morning Roscoe
Roscoe: Hey Dogger, hearing the White House is getting more manners…
KD: The Pardons? Don’t go there, it’s Christmas Eve.
R: Just sayin’…But tis the season for forgiveness.
KD: it tis…What do you want forgiven?
R: I’d like Santa to forgive me for going after Tiger the Cat.
KD: So, you’re gonna stop hounding Tiger?
R: At least till after Christmas, doesn’t forgiveness have a time stamp?
KD: Not supposed to…But it’s 2020, not ruling anything out.
Morning Peeps,
Merry Christmas Eve...
Don't get me wrong, you can still call 'em SCOTUS, it just stands for
SUPREME COURTESANS OF USA
We've become regulars at the Beans & Brew...
Christmas Mocha JOY
Ken-Dogger: Morning Nick
Nick: ZZZZ
KD: Hey, you getting up? Maybe if you wouldn’t party so much at night…
N: (Doing downward dog stretch, then looks up) Bro, it’s exciting times….Christmas lights, partying, overeating, presents
KD: Well…That’s not what Christmas is all about you know
N: Dude, I’m hip…That’s why I was sleeping, after all that activity, I need to recoup…
KD: You’ll recover, and we’ll talk a little more about Christmas later
N: Okay, girding for excitement here…
Hey Peeps,
Many of you know we moved West to Utah in 2020...
I've had the most difficult time growing tomatoes here...
Go figure
Morning Peeps,
When you linger, let it be with LOVE
Ken-Dogger: Earl, stop it, would you just stop it...
Earl: What?
KD: You know what you're doing, cocking your head to one side, just showin' off your whole cuteness thing.
E: Oh that, yea, I know, works doesn't it?
KD: It did, that's why we got you Buddy...
E: Dude, let me let you in on a little secret, it still does...Cuteness lingers
KD: Earl, I'm hip, let it linger...
There was a Four Seasons Press Conference, then the aftermath...
Plant LOVE, and then Let It BLOOM
Morning Boomers and Bloomers,
Ken-Dogger: What ‘cha doin’ Mr. Fluffy?
Mr. Fluffy: Admiring the flowers and the Amaryllis
KD: Yes, those bulbs turned into beautiful blooms.
MF: We should give more plants as gifts.
KD: Why’s that?
MF: Well, It’s a message of growth. Think about it, we get bulbs, it’s up to us to nurture it, water and feed and ‘clothe’ it, and love it and tell it you love it.
KD: And then it blooms…
MF: Yes, and then it blooms…
We all need training...
Some more than others...
'Tis the Season
The Stratford Festival Theatre in Ontario, Canada putting on a production of Billy Elliot in 2019 for service-dogs-in-training to practice sitting quietly through a performance.
And have yourself a Merry little Mandalorian Christmas time...
WHERE DO YOU FIND JOY?
Ken-Dogger: What’s with the noise?
Rocco: Aye, yi, yi, yi, I am the Frito Bandito…
KD: You’re what?
R: Frito Bandito, Bro…new image
KD: You’ve been watching Telemundo again, haven’t you?
R: Brushin’ up on my Spanish Jefe…
KD: You can’t fool me, you’re watching those voluptuous women in scant clothing.
R: Dude, ‘tis the Season to find our Joy…
KD: It tis...What time is that show?
