ON POINT
"Look at me, LOOK AT ME...
I'm not a killer, people make me a killer, just like a gun makes a willful murderer..."
FILTERS AND NORMS
Morning Filtered Ones,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Pepe, do you believe that lady?
Pepe: Which one?
KD: The one on the phone in that store…sheesh, sharing her life story
P: Has she not heard of filters?
KD: I don’t know, but there clearly wasn’t one…Did I need to know her relationship foibles?
P: Peeps have been inside for a long time
KD: So, we need to clarify inside and outside voices again?
P: Apparently, we’re reestablishing norms.
HONOR VETS
Ken-Dogger: Rambo, you ready for Memorial Day?
Rambo: I am, what is it?
KD: A day we remember those who gave their lives in defense of American freedom.
R: A most solemn day indeed. What are you doing?
KD: I’m going to be reverent, to salute my comrades, and to vow to never forget their sacrifice.
R: America was built on sacrifice wasn’t it?
KD: It was, freedom sometimes demands sacrifices…
R: Hopefully, Americans can honor that today and all days.
KD: Yes, hopefully…
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Bailey
Bailey: Dude, we gotta talk…Hearing bad stuff about my name.
KD: Not sure what you mean?
B: Why am I called Bailey?
KD: We thought it was a nice dog name, and we also like the alcohol, so it worked twice.
B: And the neighborhood dogs call me LUSH…
KD: Bailey, life is a series of decisions where either you gut it out or you give it up.
B: …And I’m the give up consolation?
KD: Yep, Bailey and Baileys gets me through.
And the rockets' RED glare, gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there...
Morning Peeps,
Most marriages are made in Heaven, this one here, it dwells in HELL.
WHEN WE BREAK UP FAMILIES, WE GET USED TO BREAKING UP FAMILIES
"You want me?"
"You gotta take both of us, nobody separates the litter further..."
"This is what Puppy Power looks like..."
SOME THINGS ARE JUST ENOUGH
Ken-Dogger: Hey Rico, how's it hangin'?
Rico: Dude, I'm a pup, it ain't hangin' much...oh you mean, how am I doing...
KD: Yep
R: Well, I'm just marveling at you and your Dad, you two seem to be adjusting fine
KD: I think we are, trying to find stuff for Daddy to do, at 101, that's a challenge
R: Dude, how 'bout just sharing stories...what about that?
KD: Rico, that can be just enough...
SOMETIMES, THEY JUST WANT THEIR BOWL FILLED
Ken-Dogger: Hey Jackie
Jackie: Hey Dude, got my breakfast?
KD: Could you wait, looks like you've had some good meals anyway
J: It's water weight, it's a female thing...
KD: Ohh, guess I shouldn't ask then huh?
J: Is the Pope Catholic?
KD: Anyway, maybe a little less food and a lot more action...
J: Dude, stop rippin' off Toby Keith, and just get to fillin' the bowl
KD: Okay Jackie, wow Ms. Sensitivity today.
KEEPING INTRUSIONS IN THEIR LANE...
Ken-Dogger: Someone’s having happy thoughts right now.
Howie: Wha…
KD: You have a smile on your face.
H: Oh that, yep I did, didn’t I?
KD: Care to share?
H: Share what?
KD: The nature of the Happy Thought.
H: Nope, no sharing, that’s how I keep my happy thoughts, I don’t let others intrude on ‘em.
KD: You’re wise beyond your years Howie, beyond your years.
GOING ON A SNIFFARI, KNOW YOUR STRENGTHS...

Ken-Dogger: Wha’cha doing fellas?
Nibbles: What’s it look like. Oh sorry, we’re sniffin’
Dibbles: Yea, we’re sniffin’, how do you know the world?

N: Just stop, we’re using our strengths…
D: The ultimate striving, strength through sniffin’…
KD: You two ready for your walk?
N & D: SNIFFARIs Bro, they’re SNIFFARIs…
BE EVER WILLING TO BEAR YOUR BURDENS
I know, I know, it IS tough being this damn cute, and cuddly, and good-looking, but it's a burden I'm willing to bear...
WE GAVE UP ON THIS STRATEGY FAR, FAR, FAR TOO SOON...
...and if repeated smashings don't work, smash those little boys again, and again, and again, till you can smash no more...
GRILLIN', CHILLIN' AND LOVIN'
