KEEP ON RUNNIN'

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Whoa Benji, where’s the fire?
Benji: There’s no fire, I’m running and exercising.
KD: Keeps you in shape and makes you strong.
B: It gives me balance.
KD: Balance from exercising?
B: Dude, we’re part mental, part physical, we need to balance the two.
KD: Yes we do…maybe that’s our trouble now, too much mental.
B: Dude, that’s why I run…

It's best to understand the full nature of the task

#pups4peace

Owner: "Come on buddy, you got this, you're sitting, this is sitting, good boy..."

Hogarth: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep it up...This training thingy goes both ways ya know, you REALLY wanna do this?"

Hey Balancers,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Don’t give me that look Clarice
Clarice: My, my, my, how’s your boo-boo?
KD: It’s comin’ along…talk about leaving it on the road
C: Stop, almost spit my coffee Bro…What do you think it was?
KD: I was pushing myself and I went too far and I took a spill. Mikster has me in training timeout for my own good.
C: Balance in all things, you know that.
KD: I do, and sometimes the journey gives us reminders.
C: The journey gives us signs, up to us to read ‘em.

Morning Peeps,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Yeller, you playing already?

Yeller: That’s a fact Jack…I’m enjoying life

KD: Wow, what a concept, enjoyment…

Y: I’ve found I can abide by it.

KD: You can can you? It sure beats the alternative.

Y: IKR, what’s up with all this Anger Bro?

KD: Some peeps revel in it, and then they burst.

Y: Love and enjoyment never seem to burst, do they?

KD: Not in a bad way Buddy, not ever in a bad way.

BE AN ACORN

Morning Peeps,

Ma: "Young man, you've got some explaining to do..."
Roscoe: "Ma, I was a helpless pawn..."
Ma: "Roscoe, it was a first date, how could you?"
Roscoe: "Ma, guess you might say I'm a member of the Shallow Resistance..."
Ma: "You are your father's son..."

SMALL WONDERS

#pups4peace

"Ma, this is incredible..."

"What's that Junior..."

"I've run all the way across this yard and I haven't stepped on my ears once..."

"Small wonders Junior, small wonders..."

BE SUBSTANCE, NOT SALAD.

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Uh Oh Beast, this doesn’t look good.
Beast: What? I’m looking stuff up.
KD: Like what exactly?
B: Use of adverbs in English, it’s overworked now.
KD: Well, they do provide emphasis to our words.
B: Yes, but they’ve also started diminishing arguments. We aren’t disturbed, we’re deeply disturbed. You just want to say ‘how deep was it?’
K: We’re in a world now where words are more salad than substance.
B: Yep, words just fill the open spaces now.

You gotta release the shackles to get to the NEW...

Morning Innovators,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Hey Scratch
Scratch: Remember Plastics my boy…
KD: Come again…
S: I was just remembering The Graduate. You know, encouraging Ben to go into plastics.
KD: Yes, that was the new hope, wasn’t it? We didn’t handle the waste issue well.

"You guys cut it out, you're always lovey-dovey, damn, you're brother and sister..."

"We know, this is what we are...family..."

"Until someone breaks us apart..."

Morning Balancers,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Hey Snoop
Snoop: Got a question…Balance, it covers a lot right?
KD: Not sure I get what you’re asking?
S: Well, climate is heat in versus heat out and now peeps are saying we have an Earth energy imbalance.
KD: Yes, that’s true….
S: So we need to get back in balance, just like in eating, just like in activity, just like in emotional energy.
KD: Pretty much…
S: Okay, I’m getting in tune with this balance thing then.
KD: Hope more do…

LIBERALS IN TEXAS

#pups4peace

"Aw, come on buddy, you're so cute when you're running, your ears form a T when you run, is that for Texas?"

"Dude, Hell to the No, I saw that damn billboard in TX where it says Liberals keep right on driving, and damn, I know your orientation..."

"Come on Buddy, you don't have to believe what your master believes, you have free will..."

"Dude, RIGHT, you keep believin' that...That's rich..."

We CAN get there, KEEP CUDDLING

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Buck, oh, sorry, didn’t realize you were still sleeping.
Buck: zzz
KD: So nice to cuddle in bed huh? Not sure why I’m asking you a question while you’re sleeping. So glad you’re comfortable in your surroundings. Maybe, if we keep working for more justice and more equality in America, more peeps will get comfortable.
Buck: zzz
KD: We can do this, we just build a little more comfort each step of the way. Keep on cuddling Buck.

#pups4peace

"Ken-dogger, did I hear you say STATE FAIR?"

"Dude, it's not for another month, and to tell you the truth, I think their dog acts are booked..."

"Ken, dude, CENSORSHIP, all my life, CENSORSHIP..."

"Dude, tell it..."

Morning Peeps,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Mandingo, what up?
Mandingo: It’s Juneteenth Bro, a day of joy…a celebration of freedom
KD: Yes, it is, took two years to spread the word.
M: But wait, why am I called Mandingo?
KD: Well, since you have black and white on you, I thought I’d honor the Mande language.
M: Wow, how’d you know that?
KD: Looked it up, amazing what you find when you open your mind.

LEVELING INTERVENTIONS

#pups4peace

"Dude, she said stop barking..."

"I was gonna stop, could you let go?"

"Dude, it's called Level II intervention...don't make me go to III..."

2020...We had lost 120K citizens

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Amari, I got you now.
Amari: You do, I’m caught, you’ve got me in this corner, I’m giving up.
KD: Come on Amari, you used to fight better than this.
A: I just can’t deal with the weight of it anymore. And throwing your hands up in defeat is so easy to do.
KD: You’re right, we’ll pass 120,000 American dead today and our hands are up too.
A: Guess we’re all gonna be cornered.
KD: ‘Bout the size of it, Amari, ‘bout the size of it.

Winter gave us a reprieve, but...

Morning Global Savers,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Hey Koufax, you’re lookin’ worried
Koufax: Dude, this heat…record-breaking
KD: And now they’re shutting down a hydroelectric plant in California
K: Why’s that?
KD: Low water levels, we’re in a drought too…
K: Sheesh, we’re getting into survival mode aren’t we?
KD: We better, the issue is do others see it as survival.
K: Hope so, hope it brings us together for a collective save.
KD: I do too, Koufax, seriously…

THE LAST FRONTIER

#pups4peace

"Brutus, come on, I can handle it...Does that dot make my ass look bigger?"

"Dude, it's a trap, don't answer that..."

SIZE...THE LAST FRONTIER

WATCHING AND WAITING

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: What ya doing?
Cato: Dude, watching you wash your hands…all the time
KD: Does seem like that doesn’t it? Just keeping RONA in check.
C: Good call, taking local action until the national action kicks in. Great personal strategy.
KD: IKR, you would think the Feds would ‘get’ the whole collective hand washing endeavor.
C: They got it, they’ve already washed their hands of the whole mess, they want to move on.
KD: That’s why we’re still washing here…

From 2018...
