KD: It's always a problem of scale, wish more peeps would get that.
F: Thanks Dogger...knew you'd give me peace

Ken-Dogger: Hey Shep, what ya doin'?
Shep: Streets full of people, all alone
Roads full of houses, never home
Church full of singing, out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon
KD: Wha...you dreamin'?
S: Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon
KD: You're right, Long time ago, Life had begun
Everyone went to the sun, now not so sure...
Ken-Dogger: Hey Rascal, Katie got you in her grip?
Rascal: When blackness was a virtue, and the road was full of mud, I came in from the wilderness, come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm
KD: How did you know Katie was gonna give you shelter?
R: Not a word was spoken between us, there was little risk involved
KD: So, you imagined a place where it’s always safe and warm
R: Righto Dogger, she gives me shelter from the storm
KD: And that’s all you need…

KD: Rough order of magnitude of a thousand years…
S: Estimation – it’s a dying art.
ONLY WAR BRINGS US TOGETHER
“We all know the importance of vaccines, but less than 20% of U.S. adults have received the updated COVID vaccine. We all know Trump wants to be a dictator, but half of the country still wants to give him another term. What is wrong with this country?”-RR
PERSPECTIVE
“The GOP winner of the Iowa Caucus shouldn’t get too excited. The last four winners failed to win the general election.”-GV

Law and Order BS...
COME TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW...OVER PEACE
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Lovie
Lovie: Hey Dogger, I see people stoking hate last night
KD: Yep, when that’s all you got, you stoke hate.
L: Why do some peeps find it difficult to love?
KD: Perhaps they feel unloved
L: They’re gonna feel more unloved if they keep stoking hate.
KD: It IS making the distinction pretty clear, we can come together or we can get pulled apart.
L: I’m coming together…right now
KD: Yes, let’s come together.

KD: Not yet...it's coming, maybe no-confidence vote first
F: Damn, shit's gettin' real...Governing ain't what it used to be is it?
KD: Nope, and it won't get easier, we need solutions, not promises
F: Right, more fantasy...

NATURE...It's a Therapy
Ken-Dogger: What Cleo?
Cleo: Just checking you Bro, you seem tense lately.
KD: A lot to be tense about right now.
C: Yep, I DO believe you can get caught up in it.
KD: The anger, the acrimony, the toil on all of us.
C: I’m sensing it’s overwhelming…
KD: It can be, but you can’t stay in it.
C: Is this why we’re walking so often these days.
KD: One of ‘em, but mostly it’s the nature therapy.
Okay, Helper Comment Part Deux...
If you're successful with the tip from Helper Comment Part Uno, then this follows...
MOST OF YOU HERE KNOW I'M A HELPER...

CEMENTING LOVE...DOGGIE STYLE
Ken-Dogger: OMG, look at you Dash.
Dash: Wha…?
KD: Hugging Cato, how cute.
D: IKR, and we’re supposed to be enemies.
KD: Not sure enemies, you just usually don’t get along.
D: That’s why I’m huggin’, shows we can.
KD: You might not want to do a chokehold around the neck.
D: Bro, I’m controlling the hugging until Cato gets it.
KD: You sure Cato’s gettin’ this?
D: The hugging stops when the love cements…
KD: Let’s get to cementing then…
Morning Walkers and Bonders,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Luca, you ready?

L: And I get cuddles from the Ladies
KD: Where is that leash?
