NOT ABOUT THE TAKING
Ken-Dogger: Lucky Pierre, can’t wait to hear this…
Lucky Pierre: Dude, I was trying to get our Christmas lights up.
KD: Um Pierre, we haven’t even done Thanksgiving yet.
LP: We gotta get ‘em up before the other side does.
KD: The other side?
LP: They’ve got their symbols, we’ve got ours…We’re taking Christmas.
KD: These are not about taking, they are about giving…of Ourselves.
LP: Seems like we need to keep reminding ourselves of that.
KD: We do Pierre, we do.
SELF ON A SHELF
Morning Integrators,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Scooter
Scooter: Dude, I was just reading about Haskins, seems he still is not getting it together.
KD: What makes you say that?
S: Tomlin said he wasn’t ready to play.
KD: Wow, guess it takes more than just raw talent to make it.
S: It always has…I guess full integration is a pipe dream.
KD: Integrating the head, heart and mind is serious work.
S: Needs to be done…
KD: Yes, it does…
S: Hey, this year, let’s do SELF ON A SHELF…
AND THEY CALLED IT PUPPLY LOVE, JUST BECAUSE WE'RE
Ken-Dogger: Morning Kato
Kato: Hey Dude
KD: What are you up to?
K: Practicing poses...Haven't you heard #pups4peace returns to prime time
KD: You're kidding me right?
K: No Dude, for real...We sensed a disturbance in the universe, we need to help

K: Comin' at ya, bro....slurp
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Keebler, what up?
Keebler: Dude, thinking ‘bout peregrinating…
KD: Come again?
K: Well, I’m tired of sitting around here, I want to travel, you know, wander from place to place.
KD: So, you want to migrate.
K: No Bro, I’m peregrinating…I’ll keep wandering.
KD: Keebler, maybe you’re on to something…Peregrinators are more accepted than Migrants, aren’t they?
K: Maybe we start to look at Migrants as still Wandering.
IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THE FEATHERS AND WINGS
Ken-Dogger: Suzie, what the hell...
Suzie: What's VS?
KD: Well, it could be very special or very sincerely, give me a context.
S: Well, there's a website you have bookmarked, had girls and bras and panties on it.
KD: Oh, that's Victoria Secrets...
S: My, My...isn't it, thought I'd dress up today
KD: I'm on there for the feathers and wings
S: RIGHT....
Morning Peeps,
Looking for an Emotional Rescue
Ken-Dogger: Fifi, what ARE you doing?
Fifi: Working on my balance Bro.
KD: Um, why?
F: Well, they keep talking about living in balance on TV.
KD: I think they’re referring to emotional balance…
F: Emotional, not physical?
KD: Yep, centering yourself…When you do, the center holds.
F: You know what, this looks easier to do.
KD: Believe me, it is Fifi, it is.
KEEP WORKING THAT SMILE
Ken-Dogger: Hey Daisee, you got a big smile today...you gonna help Daddy work today?
Daisee: This looks like fun Daddy, how can I help?
KD: Go over there and start to push those leaves into this pile.
D: Dude, that looks a lot like work
KD: Yep, there's some
D: You see this smile, I'm a-workin' on this smile for a while, one task at a time...
IN THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, IT'S STILL JUST ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
Morning Resolvers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Little Bit, what’s up?
Little Bit: Bro, I think I may have a fever.
KD: Whoa, you sure?
LB: Well, I was hurling and then I was, well you know the other…it was bad.
KD: Well, we gotta get you better, you can’t hold a fever long.
LB: What you talkin’ ‘bout, peeps are in a fever pitch all the time now.
KD: That’s different…
LB: No, it isn’t…it all eats away at your health.
THIS IS FROM WHEN IT WAS JUST A DISPUTE, NOT AN INSURRECTION
Ken-Dogger: What’s up Felicity?
Felicity: What ‘s going on?
KD: Not sure what you mean?
F: The stall, we know the results, there’s been minute fraud noted, and yet we stall.
KD: Seems the other side has questions…
F: But why, they won races on the same ballot…
KD: Ah yes, but apparently not the right one, so they want a do-over
F: A Do-Over for the Comb-Over?
KD: Yep, all about vanity…
SOMETIMES, YOU JUST DON'T ASK...
Ken-Dogger: Whoa, Don’t even…

Chester: We cool?
KD: We cool…
WE SHOULD GET BACK TO THE MESHING
Ken-Dogger: Bowser, what the hell happened here?
Bowser: Sorry Dude, got a little carried away with the paint.
KD: I'll say, what were you thinkin'?
B: Well, I saw the election results and it said the Blue got Bluer and the Red got Redder.
KD: …And you were trying to show your colors?
B: No Dude, I am showing America, we aren't entirely blue or red, we mesh, or at least, we used to...
IN a World of Specks, be a GOOD ONE
Morning Speck-tators,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Speck
Speck: Umm morning, why am I called Speck?
KD: Well, a couple of reasons, we knew you were so darn cute, we thought a humbling name might work. And then, we thought it would be a reminder to us how insignificant we all are.
S: What? I’m significant…
KD: We all are Speck, but we’re all still specks, matter of how you look at things.
S: You know what, I’m cool with it.
KD: So am I…
KEEP 'EM SAFE
Ken-Dogger: Would you just look at that, a mother protecting her pup...America always finds out there is no more dangerous place than the space between a mother and her pups
Mother: Shh, puppy's sleepin...
KD: (Whispering) Okay, Momma...You keep him safe, it's what you do
Morning Fellow Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Theodore
Theodore: Hey Bro, well?
KD: Well, what, Theo?
T: You looking for a new job?
KD: Why would you say that?
T: Dude, you’re a poll taker, you dudes were off again.
KD: It’s not an exact science…
T: Bro, nothing is…
KD: You’re right, Theo…Nothing is.
From 2018...As you know, HATE LINGERS...

Butchie: I don't wanna
KD: Don't you want to see the midterm results
B: Nope
KD: Come on Buddy, let's find out if love or hate won.
B: No matter what, HATE LINGERS...
VOTE...With LOVE in your Heart
Ken-Dogger: Morning, good to see you guys leading your masters to their civic duty today.
Pups: 2 bark approval, one shows disgust, and the other just ignores
KD: Okay, okay, okay, hope you helped your masters make a good choice.
Pups: We did, we told them the love you take is equal to the love you make
KD: With love in their heart, they will make the right choice.
Ken-Dogger: Look at you Chauncy, not sure how you can sleep.
Chauncy: ZZZ
KD: You DO know there is a lot going on in the world. There’s this crazy, unresolved election, there’s a pandemic, there’s record unemployment and a stalled global economy for most.
C: ZZZ
KD: What’s that? You’re still sleeping?
C: ZZZ
KD: No wait, he awakens…Hey Bud, how can you sleep in all this turmoil?
C: Bro, (yawning and stretching, he leans forwards and speaks) my world hasn’t changed…
GET BEYOND THE LOOK...
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Jupiter
Jupiter: A question…Do I look miserable to you?
KD: Right now, you look sleepy, I guess sometimes, but not all the time.
J: I must have that vibe
KD: It’s the look Buddy, you got the look
J: But I’m much more than the look
KD: Some peeps can’t get beyond the look
J: They’ll never know me then, will they?
KD: Sadly, no, but that’s where some peeps are…
Morning Peeps,
ADJUSTMENTS
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Teacup
Teacup: What up Dog?
KD: Dealing with time changes, bodies will be adjusting…
T: We adjust daily, it’s just one more…
KD: That’s a good point
T: What’s that?
KD: Life being a series of adjustments…
T: Seems some are more monumental than some others…
KD: I guess it also means it’s more chances to get it right.
FREEDOM HAS DUTIES...ONE OF 'EM IS VOTING
Ken-Dogger: Hey Chex, what are you doing?
Chex: Dude, I saw you checking your voting roster and practicing your selections.
KD: Voting is the hallmark of democracy Chex, everyone should be voting.
Chex: Dude, that's why I'm practicing.
KD: Chex, sorry man, dogs can't vote. Regrettably, all citizens can't vote, but those who can, should.
