COULD WE JUST TRY TO BE COOL WITH EACH OTHER AGAIN?
Ken-Dogger: Hey Jasper, what up?
Jasper: You remember that big barkin’ dog Mad Max down the street?
KD: I do J, why?
J: Well, every time we walk, Max just barks and barks and barks, it’s tiring.
KD: IKR
J: So I moseyed down there and we spoke. Turns out he’s just protecting his turf.
KD: So you told him you’re not a threat?
J: I did, turns out talking through it, led to us being cool with each other.
KD: Imagine that…
Come on, CATCH UP...
"This is rich, these adults bark commands, want me to sit, want me to roll over...I'm so quick, they missed it.
Most times, I'm just waiting for the humans to catch up..."
KICK 'EM WHEN THEY'RE UP
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Bluto, what you doing?
Bluto: I was just thinkin’, I could have been an actor, but I wound up here.
KD: Well, you DO look good, and you’re not clear, whisper in my ear…
B: What? You want dirty laundry?
KD: Well, you’re not the bubble-headed bleached blonde…
B: And you don’t seem to know what’s going on or how far it’s gone…
KD: Guess we just keep eating our dirty laundry…
B: Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down.

“The more things change the more they stay the same. Trump claimed this weekend that he never said ‘Lock Her Up’ in regard to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign despite multiple videos proving that he did. Perhaps we were all mistaken and what he was actually saying was ‘Law Corrupt’ which seems to be his current whine as he faces jail time from his felony conviction.”-TC
WE APPRECIATE WHAT IS EARNED
Ken-Dogger: Well Chantay, been in the closet again I see...
Chantay: Well, saw all these kids walking in 'em, thought I'd join in
KD: Well Missy, you gotta earn that hat
C: Not all the time, have you seen some of their grades?
KD: C'mon, be nice...You'll get there, once your training is done
C: I wanna be a graduate
KD: Well then, Earn it...You'll appreciate it more
C: Huh, appreciation, must be more to it than I thought
STRETCHIN'
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Buster, what up?
Buster: Dude, I’m stretchin’…doggie yoga, man
KD: IKR, I want to get you going and you’re stretchin’…
B: I need to know stuff works, I don’t want to get a silly injury
KD: Oh, it’s a dog’s way of knowing your body.
B: That’s it…We seem to know innately how to protect ourselves.
KD: I think you’re on to something, I’m gonna stretch more now.
B: At your age Bro, your body needs all the protection it can get.
KD: Steady, boy, steady…
SOMETIMES, WE NEED TO JOSTLE OUR HUMANITY
Morning HumanKinders,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cujo, what up?
Cujo: Bro, I’m worried, pandemic seems to be raging still.
KD: Not here so much, that’s in other countries.
C: And that doesn’t bother you?
KD: It does, but what am I to do?
C: Well, you could advocate for peeps who don’t have someone to advocate for them.
KD: Seems like we need to get to a group where all are helped.
C: You have that, it’s called HUMANITY.
KD: You’re right to worry…
Morning Beeps and Peeps,
BLESS-ED SLEEP
"Head, Head, would you wake up...
Did you ever see such a cranium?"
(Homage to 'I Married an Axe Murderer')
THE GOOD LORD KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH ME, HE MADE ME STRONG, BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BE A WOMAN
Ken-Dogger: Hey Mama Cass, what you doing with Brutus and Mongo?
Mama Cass: Teaching them how to follow the lead
KD: But they're gonna be MEN
MC: What the hell does that mean?
KD: Well, Men...they, uh, they TAKE the lead
MC: Leaders start as followers, that's how they learn.
KD: Oh, teaching the yin and yang I see...
MC: Yes, you boys stay out of our way, Mamas will make them whole.
Ken-Dogger: Morning Scratch, that’s you boy.
Scratch: Was wondering that, I didn’t recognize me.
KD: Mirrors are great, we get to check ourselves out.
S: Oh, like checking to see all our stuff is in the right place?
KD: Yes, but when we go out, peeps don’t often see just our mirror image.
S: So, they see more?
KD: They see our actions, and our words, and they see we’re more than a mirror image.
S: Wow, and here I thought I just had to look cute, better work on my personality.
SPELLING...THE BANE OF MODERN EXISTENCE
"Dude, it ain't that hard, the rule is I before E except after C..."
"Jeez, Ma, I'm not sure this one is ready for spelling..."
IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABOUT ENDING THE SUFFERING
Ken-Dogger: What’s all this noise?
Nellie: I’m protesting…
Shelley: Yes, and I want him to stop.
KD: So this is how you’re handling it.
N: Shelley wouldn’t let me take a knee…
S: That’s right, I like upping the ante.
KD: Many do up the ante, until we get beyond protesting, losing the veracity of it all.
N: So we keep fighting?
KD: Until you find another way to end the suffering.
The Bears dance lively again...
The Eyes of the World are rejoicing in One More Saturday Night...
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,
You can't let go and you can't hold on,
You can't go back and you can't stand still,
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.
Won't you try just a little bit harder,
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
Round, round robin run round, got to get back to where you belong,
A little bit further than you gone before.
