Morning,
A Pups Memory
Ken-Dogger: Morning Clyde, how’s it going?
Clyde: Going well bro, what up today?
KD: Continuing your lessons, today’s is on touch
C: Touch…You want me to feel stuff?
KD: Yes, there’s so much AI shite going around, it’s hard to know what’s real
C: And I’ll know what’s real via touch?
KD: If you can touch it, it’s real…If you see it, it may be real
C: Dude, let me grab your face…Yep, you’re real
KD: And so are you bro, so are you…
An IMPORTANT PM
Ken-Dogger: Morning Cuddles, just what are you doing?
Cuddles: Being true to my name
KD: Well, struck me as odd, I thought kittens were enemies
C: You would think so, but I’ve come to a new realization
KD: What’s that?
C: Well, if you keep looking for enemies, you’ll find ‘em; if you choose to look for friends, well you can find them too…
KD: It’s a strange world when you see more humanity from dogs than people
C: It’s not strange, we’re just choosing LOVE…
Pups Memory
Morning Seekers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Mr. Peabody
Mr Peabody: Hey Dogger, what color is this?
KD: It’s black Mr P, what’s up?
Mr P: Just a little confused on the relative nature of things
KD: I hear that…
Mr P: I want to live in a world where black is black, and grey is grey, and white is white.
KD: Unsure that world exists anymore…Peeps like making their own reality now.
Mr P: But isn’t there a shared reality?
KD: There is, it just isn’t getting much airplay right now.
Morning Peeps
Ken-Dogger: What’s up with little Petie, Rosie?
Rosie: I’m not sure, he’s cuddling a lot.
KD: You never know with these pups
R: They DO keep me movin’
KD: Let’s ask, Petie, what ARE you doing?
Petie: Dogger, My Momma loves me and takes care of me…I can do what I can to show some appreciation.
KD: Wow, just wow…Rosie, you’re doing something right.
R: We mother, it’s what we do.
A Bonding PM
Morning Gold Bonders,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Scruffy, what is up?
Scruffy: Dude, I was just thinkin’ about Taxi Driver.
KD: The what?
S: You know, that Scorsese thing about relationships.
KD: About bizarre relationships, where you going with this?
S: No, I was more thinking about Travis feeling so alone in a populated city.
KD: Lots of peeps feel lonely, even in crowds.
S: Well, we need to build connections, they bond.
KD: Bond away Scruffy, Bond away…
Bridges, Not Walls
Ken-Dogger: Hey fellas, what you doing?
Sam: We're just sittin' here, holding onto each other...
KD: That's nice, we could use some more togetherness in the world.
Cam: We DO need it and we just thought we ought to show how it's done, maybe more peeps would get it.
KD: I hope you're right guys, we'll see...
Sam: Bridges, not walls, dude, bridges, not walls...
Ken-Dogger: What? Why are you staring?
Stanley: Bro, you’re doing it again.
KD: What?
S: You’re setting yourself up for disappointment. You know how you get when you play that Hearts game.
KD: I know, it’s just I reach a point where I think I can win all the time.
S: Impossible standards
KD: Huh?
S: You keep doing it, you set these impossible standards and then you get ticked when you don’t reach ‘em.
KD: Possible standards?
S: Now, you’re starting to get it.
AAA PM
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cujo, you stirring the sound this morning?
Cujo: Dude, I'm howling...I just open my mouth and these howls come out
KD: Dude, important skill, distinctive sound, I'll teach you how to catcall, another important skill.
C: What's catcall...
KD: Cujo, it's a little trick to help you with les femmes...
C: Dogger Man, could I master runnin' and fetchin' first?
KD: Right on buddy, baby steps...
Another, another PM
Ken-Dogger: Morning Lady, you look worried?
Lady: The world’s becoming a scarier place
KD: Yes it is, not sure why…
L: I know I’m just a pup, but it seems to me there is way more hate than love
KD: You may be right Lady, what can we do about it?
L: We could talk more, we could love more, and we could resolve to resolve…
KD: Resolving to resolve, you think that will work?
L: Bro, it’s the only thing that ever has…
Another PM
Ken-Dogger: Hey Thayer, you’re looking sad.
Thayer: I am sad, my decorations are gone.
KD: Your decorations?
T: Why YES, every year, starting about 4 weeks ago, you put up all these decorations inside and outside the house, just for me.
KD: Really, I have to break something to ya.
T: What? Fifi’s pregnant again?
KD: No Bro, the decorations are for Christmas…
T: Dude, I’m not attached to Thayer, call me Christmas.

Morning Peeps and Gamers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Domino
Domino: It’s starting…that blame game
KD: Someone’s playing a game?
D: It would seem so, curious thing about leadership.
KD: What’s that?
D: Well, you can seek to fix, or you can seek to blame.
KD: But, at some point, don’t you have to get after the fixes?
D: Therefore, Leaders keep playing the blame game.
Another, another PM
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Jeter, how's it going?

Another PM
Ken-Dogger: Morning Checkoff
Checkoff: You following your passion today?
KD: I am Checkoff, I’m into this game…
C: I marvel at you, so easy to find a new passion, it’s like this bone.
KD: What do you mean?
C: I mean, I’m passionate about this bone, so I’m stuck on whether to eat it or save it.
KD: That’s that thing about passions…
C: And?
KD: They keep you moving one way or another, but it’s a groove move
C: Then, let’s get to grooving and moving…
KD: It’s passionate.
Working today, a Pups memory
Ken-Dogger: Morning Queenie, are you hiding?
Queenie: I am bro, all sorts of stuff going on
KD: Oh, you mean the continuing chinks into WORLD PEACE
Q: I think WORLD PEACE is a misnomer, maybe just COUNTRY PEACE
KD: Dude, that’s getting harder to find also…
Q: You know what, PRICKS KEEP PRICKING…

Q: The World could use a few less PRICKS
