IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT COORDINATING THE HELP
Morning Shapers and Coordinators,
Ken-Dogger: What’s up Brad?
Brad: Hey Bro, I’m turning this into a ball.
KD: Good Luck
B: Come on Dogger, where’s your faith? It’s just shaping behavior.
KD: And you’re trying to reshape it on your own. You’re gonna need shaping skills and some coordinated help to get it done.
B: I got the skills, just need to coordinate the help.
KD: Don’t we all Brad, don’t we all…
CHOOSING THE FISH WE FRY
Morning Normalizers and Others,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cleo
Cleo: Hey Bud, you’re back from Vegas…
KD: Yep, dropped off our guests, but we got to do the strip again.
C: You were…Stripping?
KD: Come on Cleo, we were walking the famous Vegas Strip.
C: Got to see the sights and feel the excitement.
KD: Seems almost back to normal, save for the masks.
C: Masks may be our future.
KD: So be it, there are bigger fish to fry.
WE NEEDED THE COORDINATION
Ken-Dogger: That’s a sight this morning.
Flootie: What you talkin’ bout, Willis?
KD: Name’s not Willis…What’s the occasion?
Tootie: We’re coordinated…we’re in for the long run.
KD: You’re the Witches of Eastwick, that’s what you are.
Rootie: Naw Dude, we read that the more coordinated you are, the more you’ll get through the RONA.
KD: Coordinated action, silly, coordinated action.
F: You’re calling us silly, you’re the ones who need the coordination.
More than liking, I'm loving the 70s
Morning Ageless Wonders,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cleo, what’s up?
Cleo: Dude, watchin’ you move, I wanna see what 72 looks like.
KD: It looks good, a step slower, but still good.
C: I’ll be the Judge…
KD: So, what’s the call?
C: It’s only been a few days, what kind of sample is that?
KD: A Few Days Sample?
C: Dude, early signs are you are still thriving.
KD: Survivin’, Thrivin’, and Jivin’…I’m gonna like the 70s.
PLANNING FOR A LOT MORE CLEANING AND JERKING
Ken-Dogger: Butkus, you're lookin' all security-like this AM, what gives?
Butkus: Heard they were snatchin' clearances from Righteous Americans...
KD: Yep, Undude at it again, distractions carry the day, don't ya just know it...
Butkus: Dude, tell the Undude to come closer, I'll show him what a clean and jerk feels like...
WHEN LOYALTY IS A COMMODITY
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Topper
Topper: Money, Money, Money…M-O-N-E-Y…
KD: You got to have it huh…
T: I do…The World goes round; money goes with it.
KD: If you want something to happen, follow the money.
T: That’s how we got loyalty in the first place, we bought it.
KD: Turns out when loyalty is a commodity, it goes to the highest bidder.
T: Seems the only way to win is to keep bidding then huh?
KD: It would appear so Topper…
On a day when we celebrate @Minholkin birthday, a special
#pups4peace for today...
HOW 'BOUT US, HOW 'BOUT US BABY
Nutter: Ken-Dogger, Some people are made for each other

AND THE DOGGIES SAID: WAY
...AND I SAID: ONLY WAY
Ken-Dogger: Morning Guys
Guys: (Continue tugging on rope)
KD: You two are going to wear yourselves out.
Brucie: Well, would you tell Lucie to let it go?
Lucie: Well, would you tell Brucie to let it go?
KD: So, I’ll be Solomon, I’ll tear it in half…
Guys: NOOOOO, we don’t want half, we want all…
KD: Then you’ll need to learn how to play together.
Guys: Only way we get all?
KD: Only way…
REMEMBERING WHEN OMAROSA HAD THE TAPES...
Ken-Dogger: Tres, why are you laughin' so much this morning, what could be that funny?
Tres: Dude, she has tapes, the Big O has tapes...
KD: Apparently their security isn't what it used to be...
Tres: No, actually, it's their mouths...they ain't what they used to be...
INTERESTINGLY, WE'RE HEADED TO VEGAS LATER TODAY...
And a top of the late morning to you all,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Bella
Bella: Finally, thought you guys were sleepin’ forever.
KD: Well, when you return from Vegas at 6 in the morning…
B: Bro, what took so long?
KD: Ever hear of Frontier?

Petie: You see me takin' this step with my left paw?
KD: Yes, Petie, I see you steppin' out.
Petie: Dude, I'm just sayin', it's a killer move...I do this little 2-step thingy with my paws, the chicks dig it.
KD: Chicks? You're interested in chicks?
Petie: Nature vs. nurture, dude, nature vs. nurture...

C: Bro, your cardboard fetish, I thought he’s going full hog, then they stopped coming, and now they’re back.
KD: It’s called moving and setting up a home.
C: It feels like I’m losing you.
KD: Come on Man…You’re still #1.

Ken-Dogger: Morning Scaramouche, a question?
Scaramouche: Why yes, what about the RONA?
KD: How do you mean that? You mean is it progressing?
S: Yes, it seems to be winning.
KD: Not everywhere, but here’s the thing, when you put up a fight, RONA takes notice.
S: Well then, let’s get to fighting…
KD: Seems RONA wants a collective effort against it.
S: That’s gonna be tough here, Nobody seems to be promoting cohesion.
KD: Nope, we just blame anymore, apparently fixin’ is for Losers.
NO LONGER IN THE RACE
Morning to Those Still In The Race,

KD: We all slept in this morning, we’re off-cycle.
Meat: You’re retired, there is no cycle.
KD: Wow, thanks for the reminder, for a minute there, I thought I was back in the race.
REVEL IN YOUR FULLNESS
Some days, perhaps most days, all we need is a soft pillow, someone to hug and hold onto, and a restful place to understand the fullness of who we are...
RULES??
Ken-Dogger: Hey Fifi, what’s up with the rope?
Fifi: Saw some rope in your room and heard giggles, thought I might play too.
KD: When you’re older, those games might be good.
F: Always restrictions on the Youths…
KD: It’s just, there are rules, and games are played with rules.
F: Really, if that were true, we wouldn’t be in half this mess.
KD: Fifi, we’ve got rule breakers and we’ve got rule protectors breaking rules.
F: So what are rules then?
KD: So, just guidelines…
STILL HOPING SOCIETY WINS
Morning Rule of Law Respecters,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Hawthorne, what you studying?
Hawthorne: Case Law, looking for precedents…
KD: Interesting, why the interest in law?
H: These sedition trials and the DOJ stance, the DOJ is soft.
KD: But, Judges are putting the Rule of Law(RoL) front and center
H: How else can you maintain a society Bro?
KD: There is no other way, you either follow the RoL or you’re savages.
H: We’ve seen the brink, let’s hope Society wins.
WHY DON'T WE JUST GET FAMILIAR...AGAIN
Ken-Dogger: Willis, what the heck are you doing? You know that's a kitten right?
Willis: I do my good fellow, so?
KD: Well, you guys are supposed to be enemies, you're supposed to chase after each other and then hate each other.
Willis: That seems silly, we like playing with each other, have grown up that way...
KD: Funny how that happens, familiarity building love and community...
CHOOSE LOVE...FOR THE HEALTH OF IT.
Ken-Dogger: Morning Edgar
Edgar: Hey Bro, saw where another group got kicked off facebook.
KD: Yep, it’s happening to groups who spew hate.
E: It’s so easy to Love, why the hate?
KD: Peeps feel aggrieved, I get that…But hate never fills that hole.
E: What hole is that?
KD: That hole in their heart which never seems to get enough to cancel the hate.
E: So more hate and less love?
KD: If that’s the path you choose…
