THANKS MOMMAS
Special Hello to the Mommas here, thanks for making our world ROCK...
Ken-Dogger: Morning Guys
Guys: Hey Dogger Man…Guess what day it is?
KD: Why, I believe it is Mother’s Day.
Beano: It is Bro…We’re honoring Mom all day long.
KD: And how are you going to do that?
Gusto: We’re gonna stay close to her, suck on her teat, and follow her lead.
KD: Moms ARE great comfort aren’t they?
B: They are the ROCK upon which we build our world.
KD: Yes they are…Mommas ROCK!!
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF IT ALL
Ken-Dogger: Hold on there Thor…
Thor: I’m ready to go, I need some room to move.
KD: But you gotta learn how to walk on this leash, it’s how we get you to places.
T: Leash? I don’t see no stinkin’ leash on you?
KD: Umm, I walk upright, I follow rules, and I maintain the public good.
T: Well, aren’t you all righteous…
KD: No, just being safe for self and others, more should also.
T: Dude, to get there with humans, you’re gonna need more leashes…
LOVE the Land Where You Live...
Not always snow-covered, but when we leave our neighborhood and head West, this is what we see...AND LOVE.
FOUND THE PROBLEM...
We aren't casting enough out into the Wilderness...
GROWTH...We often don't make it personal, and yet, that is what benefits us most.
Ken-Dogger: Hey Lucy, you getting juicy?
Lucy: Just stop, do you just joke all the time?
KD: Sorry, I awake at 100 mph, I’m on the clock…
L: Yes, and I’m cute, but that doesn’t mean I take liberties.
KD: Oh, like making jokes at others’ expense?
L: Something like that…You need a new shtick.
KD: Wow, you mean personal growth?
L: Yes, even now when this pandemic rages, we should focus on growth.
As Christina Aguilera, our WAZE voice, tells us when we arrive at our destination..."WE MADE IT." Love you Mik, Happy Anniversary #25.
Happy Anniversary Honey...Couldn't be happier and lovin' life out West with you...Blazing new trails.
SOME ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR GROUP LESSONS
"...Show us again Ma, we promise we'll watch attentively this time..."
PUPS ALWAYS HELP US THROUGH
My mom died on May 6, 2019
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Dash, how ya doing?
Dash: The better question is how are YOU doing?
KD: Oh, you mean losing Mom yesterday...I'm sad but happy her pain is gone
D: I am too KD, she was your biggest fan, a great teacher, and a wonderful partner for your Dad.
KD: Yep, taught me a lot about love these past few years...
D: Dude, she will still teach, you just wait...And I'll help you through.
THEY GOT RID OF PUJOLS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Poncho, why you looking over your shoulder?
Poncho: They got rid of Pujols
KD: IKR, sad day, a future HOFer unceremoniously released.
P: IKR, he wasn’t producing, so they’re moving on.
KD: Team said it was holding back their progress, most likely read as profit.
P: So see why I’m looking?
KD: Why?
P: Bro, I was reviewing my progress to ensure it’s profitable.
KD: Everything isn’t about profit.
P: Tell that to those of us who love the game.
BUT, BUT, SHE NO LONGER LEAVES...
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Hap, what you got?
Hap: Dude, a flower, it’s for Mikster’s Mom
KD: Aww, that’s sweet…Because she’s leaving.
H: Yep, wanted her to have some smells to remember…
KD: She certainly got in a lot of sights too.
H: It didn’t seem like 3 weeks did it?
KD: Who you kidding?
H: Come on, you know it was a good visit.
KD: It was, helps me out with the whirlwind known as Mikster.
H: Amen Bro…Me too, me too.
PEACE...We keep looking
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Bronco Billy, what up?
Bronco Billy: You remember that song you played yesterday, Johnny’s Garden?
KD: I do BeeBee
BB: Well, that line ‘and they give me peace in quiet hours’, what’s that?
KD: It’s about enjoying the floral beauty of Johnny’s Garden and finding peace there.
BB: Wow, you can find peace there?
KD: Yep, here, there, and everywhere, you just gotta be looking for it.
BB: That’s what I’m doing, looking for peace.
Starting golfers at Coral Canyon, watching bikers from Ironman go by...
LIVING IN A WORLD WHERE DOGS MAKE MORE SENSE THAN HUMANS...
CONTINUING WITH THE JAIL AND JUSTICE THEME
as Richard Pryor once said, You go down there lookin' for justice, that's what you find, JUST US...
Bernadoodles to die for...
FROM 2019
Ken-Dogger: Aww, you guys loving on each other?
Vito: We ARE Dude, saw your mom and dad doing this and ya know, it resonated with us
Sonya: Yea, we dig it
KD: Yea, I dig it too...
V: They do have a love story, what is it 77 years now
KD: Yep, few get there...it takes love and commitment
S: Yea, commitment for some, others just end up committed...
KD: Sad but true Sonya, sad but true...
POUNCING ON FEAR
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Hannibal, what up with you?
Hannibal: Dude, I’m a tad freaked
KD: What is it this time?
H: I can’t tell if I’m awake or a woke.
KD: Seems we’re getting some stuff confused. There’s a physical part (awake) and there’s a mental part (woke). You get it now?
H: So the physical part and the mental part are separate?
KD: No, they blend…it’s just the mental part scares the bejeezus out of some folks.
H: And Peeps love pouncing on fear.
