BE A HERO
Morning Heroes,
Ken-Dogger: Whoa, Shock Jock, you all ready?
Shock Jock: Yep, heading out.
KD: Big race today, World-Class peeps here.
SJ: Hence, the suit Bro, lookin’ my best.
KD: These athletes are amazing, strong commitment.
SJ: They’re in prison?
KD: No, they are committed to their training.
SJ: Gets them over their hurdles, doesn’t it?
KD: Commitment to perseverance to success, simple strategy, heroic effort.
SJ: But everyone can be a Hero…
LOVE, let it rock your world
Whitie: I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles, And the heavens open every time she smiles, And when I come to her that's where I belong, Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
Brownie: He loves me unconditionally
Whitie: She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Brownie: Love rocks my world, yours too if you let it...
Morning,
#pups4peace
Ken-Dogger: Hey Chex, what’s going on?
Chex: Dude, fighting at Europa League match, belts and fists
KD: Well, shucks, peeps are getting out of hand.
C: Naw, this is just European ‘goon’ soccer…The Fans provide their own sport
KD: Fans get so amped anymore, what do you think it is?
C: Misplaced anger, it’s always misplaced anger.
KD: So, anger just needs to get placed correctly?
C: Anger needs to seek its source and deal with that.
KD: And this is why misplacement continues…
Give a Little
Ken-Dogger: Hey Rex, morning, a question?
Rex: Well yes, are you my friend?
KD: What kind of question is that? Of course, I’m your friend. I help you, I give you food, and I keep you healthy, I’d say that qualifies.
R: Wow, didn’t realize it was all that.
KD: It’s not too much, it’s a friendship cost.
R: Oh, you mean sometimes you give a little and then you get a little…
KD: Yes, mutuality…a balance between, not a layering of things done.
R: Hmmm, I like friendships.
IF IT'S IN YOUR DNA...
Ken-Dogger: Hey Butkus, where you been?
Butkus: Did a little vacay with my peeps
KD: I see you're reacquainting with Bopsie...
Butkus: Dude, I did vacay, I didn't lose my DNA...
STARTING AT DIFFERENT POINTS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Chuckie, what’s up?
Chuckie: I’m not coming out.
KD: What’s going on? You scared?
C: I am, there’s some crazy shite going on all around.
KD: And you think staying there will help you deal with this?
C: This is how I cope, it’s the best I can do.
KD: But you’re not overcoming your fears, you’re giving in to them.
C: We all start at certain points…
MORNING PEEPS,
SOME THINGS YOU GOTTA GROW THROUGH
Ken-Dogger: Aww, it’s nice to get out and walk, hey Beto…
Beto: Jury’s still out…
KD: What do you mean? It’s a glorious day…
B: The day is cool, wasn’t talkin’ ‘bout that…
KD: Well, what then?
B: Textures bro, textures…
KD: Textures?
B: Dude, this wetness, these overnight webs…other dogs’ droppings, it’s enough to…
KD: Okay, okay, okay…Booties?
B: Naw, I’m gonna tough it out, some things you just gotta grow through.
Counting...IN the Happiest State in the USA
Morning Peeps...Count Your Blessings
Ken-Dogger: What’s up JR?
JR: Just wondering, am I blessed?
KD: Wow, heavy stuff for a Sunday…Let’s see, you’re merciful, you’re pure of heart, and you’re a peacemaker, the big 3.
JR: I feel it but sometimes I also feel cursed.
KD: Jesus himself said, “Every tree is known by its’ own fruit.”
JR: So, I’m a cherry?
KD: No Silly, it’s what you give…
and you give mountains.
JR: I’m blessed…
Morning Peeps,
DESPERATELY SEEKING BALANCE
Ken-Dogger: Hey Ralph, what the…
Ralph: What?
KD: What’s up with the suitcase my buddy?
R: I’m out of here, going where I get attended to…
KD: What do you mean? We attend to you, you’re fed, walked, and loved.
R: But you are buying new stuff, going to new places, things are changin’.
KD: Yes, they are…So you want more love?
R: I just want balance Bro…
KD: Don’t we all Ralph, don’t we all.
VALUES
Ken-Dogger: Hey Chief, thanks for coming with me.
Chief: Solemn times Bro…Remembering the Fallen.
KD: Yes, 9/11…19 Years later, took a while for the full tally.
C: Full Tally?
KD: Americans tragically died that day, but the lingering effects of the attack weren’t all felt then.
C: So we’re still experiencing them?
KD: That attack confronted our values, it split us and we divided.
C: So the effects might stop?
KD: When America values peeps over money and things, they might.
WE GET WHAT WE ALLOW
Ken-Dogger: Bello, what are you doing?
Bello: I’m practicing…
KD: And just what are you practicing?
B: Politicking…”Un-American; Stupid; Sleepy; Creepy.”
KD: That’s not politicking, that’s name-calling.
B: Tell that to the Pols…They keep it going.
KD: Naw, Tell it to the People, they allow it to happen.
PACE YO'SELF
Morning Do-Bees,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Clifford, you’re looking a little beat.
Clifford: Dude, this pace…How do you keep it up.
KD: Well, you just put one foot in front of the other.
C: So, what’s up today?
KD: UTV West Rim Tour with one of our fave guides, Hope.
C: I thought you called her ‘Katie’?
KD: I did, she looks like a Katie…

C: Enjoy the day…
MISSED THIS BY A FEW DAYS
Ken-Dogger: Morning Jinxie, just what are you doing?
Jinxie: Dude, I’m workin’ here…
KD: But, It’s Labor Day, a work holiday.
J: A work holiday, what’s that?
KD: A day dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers.
J: That’s why I’m working…
KD: Why?
J: In America, we don’t really celebrate that anymore, we only celebrate the winnings of a few.
KD: You’re right, go ahead, work on…
WHO CARES?
Ken-Dogger: Hey Peyton, you ready for catch?
Peyton: Dude, do you believe we’re getting ready for the NFL?
KD: You’re kidding right? We’re in the throes of a Pandemic with no cure, but we’re gonna play football?
P: Bout the size of it…
KD: But it ain’t just about football, it’s about how the economy works…
P: There’s activity and there’s complementary activity.
KD: Yep, one begets the other…Shame those in charge can’t get there.
P: They could, they’re too inept to care.
VETERANS...WINNERS ALWAYS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Chesty, why the look?
Chesty: Worried about you bro…
KD: Really, why?
C: Well, he called your brothers-in-arms losers and suckers.
KD: I heard that, pretty rich coming from a draft-dodger, but it’s sad.
C: What do people get from name-calling?
KD: Guess it makes them feel better than someone else…
C: Name-calling is for LOSERS…
KD: I’m a VETERAN, that’s a winner’s name in any country.
