Morning Peeps,
EVERYDAY GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOVE OTHERS
Ken-Dogger: Come on Malph, it’s time to wake up. It’s Friday.
Malph: A Day like any other…
KD: Where’s your enthusiasm this morning?
M: Dude, you see me sleeping? I’m sleeping enthusiastically, well enough for ya?
KD: Okay, I’ll cut you some slack. It’s just it’s important to keep track of days now.
M: Hey Bro, every day I love you, is there something else?
KD: Nope, Love, love is the answer…all you need is love.
PROTECTING SELF AND OTHERS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Heath, let’s practice our walking.
Heath: Dude, I know how to walk, but you want me on a leash.
KD: It’s not so much I want you on it, it just keeps you safe when we’re out.
H: Oh, you mean like wearing a mask in a global pandemic?
KD: Yep, just like that, protection for you and for others.
H: Wow, thinking of others’ safety, novel concept.
KD: Sadly, true…
ONE LESS FEAR TO ANSWER...
Morning Vaxxers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Denver, did you hear what CDC did?
Denver: No, what?
KD: If you’re vaxxed, you don’t need a mask anymore.
D: So there are some benefits to getting vaccinated.
KD: Loads of ‘em, but here’s what it did for me.
D: What?
KD: Can I finish? It gives me peace, a little peace of mind.
D: I’m hip…
KD: One less fear to answer, one less egg to fry.
D: You did what society needed, proud of you Bro…
SINGULARITY OF PURPOSE...GOTTA WANT IT
Ken-Dogger: Morning Guys
Momma Cass: Would you look at this pup…
Low Rider: Wha…oh, the ball…wait, leaf…wait, squirrel
KD: Kinda hard to get the training in huh Momma?
MC: It’s cool, we’re gonna develop his attentiveness.
KD: You mean being highly distractible can be cured, you could find singularity of purpose?
MC: Yes, can be cured, if you want it cured.
LR: And right now, I ain’t wanting it.
KD: Join the crowd, Little Buddy, join the crowd.
STRIVING FOR SUCCESS
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Teacup
Teacup: Hey Dogger, I was just thinkin’…
KD: Go on...
T: Well, it’s about satisfaction…Are you satisfied?
KD: Whoa…well, let me reflect. I think generally so…
T: Who’s talkin’ ‘bout Chinese food, I mean feelings.
KD: I was saying generally I’m satisfied, not General Tso's Chicken.
T: Well, I wanna be bigger.
KD: Let’s talk about attainable targets.
IT'S ONLY WORDS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Dalia, what up
Dalia: I’m trying to smile an everlasting smile, a smile to bring you near to me
KD: Did I find you down, cause that would bring a tear to me.
D: Dude, the world has lost its glory, time for a new story?
K: A new Love Story, right now, there’ll be no other time
D: I only have words
K: Words are all you need to take my heart away…
D: Love, Love, Love…take it away.
(Homage to the Gibbs)
AFFORDABILITY
Morning Searchers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Rollo, slow day?
Rollo: Naw, just thinkin’ about what I gotta do.
KD: And what, pray tell, is that?
R: Doing a search, yep, a search.
KD: Okay, I’ll bit, a search for what?
R: I’m searching for ugly pennies.
KD: What the heck is an ugly penny?
R: Not sure myself, but everyone now says everything costs a pretty penny, I was just hoping to find something I could afford.
KD: Aren’t we all Roll, are we all.
YEP, YEP, YEP
Hey Mom, yeah, after scooting across the house 5 times, know you're impressed...what other shit you want me to get into cause I'm there...
STILL SALUTING
Morning Peeps,
SALUTING MOMS
Ken-Dogger: Well…Someone looks a tad tired this morn.
Tate: Dude, that’s not the half of it.
KD: Why so?
T: I followed Mom around lots yesterday, it wore me out.
KD: And yesterday was an ‘off-day’ for Moms, just think about a regular day.
T: STOP, I can’t deal with the horror…
KD: But Moms do, every single day, Moms do…They do, do, do
T: While we dah, dah, dah?
KD: Yep, Mothers – Keeping the World together since when Troglodytes roamed.
YOU JUST NEVER KNOW...
"I may look all sweet and cuddly and well, innocent, but I just gotta tell ya, I got some weird shit goin' on in my head, dudes."
THANKS MOMMAS
Special Hello to the Mommas here, thanks for making our world ROCK...

Guys: Hey Dogger Man…Guess what day it is?

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…
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.
SOME ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR GROUP LESSONS
"...Show us again Ma, we promise we'll watch attentively this time..."

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.

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.
CONTINUING WITH THE JAIL AND JUSTICE THEME
