YOU JUST REACH OUT, THAT'S ALL IT TAKES
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Duke, what you got there buddy?
Duke: She's my new special friend, my brother
KD: Wow, Duke, just wow, you DO know kittens/cats are your natural enemy.
D: Yes, why yes, I do
KD: So how'd you two enemies become fast friends?
D: I reached out, my brother, I just reached out...
HOW MANY CANS OPENED AT ONCE?
Morning Opportunity Seekers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Kita
Kita: Dogger, this great resignation is puzzling.
KD: IKR, lots of job openings.
K: Well, seems the pandemic widened eyes for many, they saw opportunity.
KD: Peeps want choices, like working from home.
K: They want to get paid for working from home? Who’s gonna mention this to housewives?
KD: Kita, could we just open one can of worms at a time.
There ARE Scarier Days...
Ken-Dogger: Whoa, just a minute there Snickers, you got your costume on already?

KD: Yep, it is...
TIME TRAVELERS
Ken-Dogger: Hello Dolly
Dolly: Hey Bro, was just thinking about time.
KD: Huh?
D: Well, it’s the same 60 minutes in an hour, but you all seem to experience it differently.
KD: You mean time doesn’t pass the same for all of us?
D: Doesn’t seem so, some are frazzled, some are unfazed in the same time period.
KD: So, you’re saying it’s a choice how you view the time you have?
D: It’s a choice how you use your time, hopefully a conscious one.
HEY PEEPS, LOVE EACH OTHER
Ken-Dogger: Hey Buddy, aww, I'm sorry didn't realize you're still sleeping
Buddy: ZZZZZZZZZZ
KD: Dude, I'm keepin' you there with your Cuddles. If I awaken you, you'll only see Americans debating which side's hate is more vitriolic.
Buddy: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
KD: Sleep on Dude, love resides here...
LET'S DO IT CIVILLY
Morning Civil Ones,

KD: Okay, and why?
B: Well, remember when he says “You’re damn right I did”
KD: Yes, Ol’ Jack thought he had moral authority over regulations.
B: Well, you might want to remind those peeps who held planning meetings for a coup.
KD: Good point, thinkin’ you’re right doesn’t make it so…
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR...
Ken-Dogger: Don't even...
Dixiee: Would you look at that Dude, my 'bro' has his own place.

Ken-Dogger: Hey Brutus, what up?
Brutus: Can ears express?
KD: Wha…?
B: Well, with these masks, I can’t see your whole face. I was just wondering what to focus on.
KD: Not sure about ears expressing, I guess they can, but the movement seems limited.
B: Well then, how do I know you’re kind when you are wearing a mask.
KD: You know it by how I act, you also know it by my eyes.
B: Ah, the eyes, windows to the soul…Guess I’ll have to adjust.
KD: We all are Brutus, we all are.

UNDERSTANDING CONSERVATION
Morning Conservers and Lovers,
Ken-Dogger: Charlemagne, you okay?
Chalemagne: Dude, come on, I’m fine…why you ask?
KD: You’re just up there and not moving.
C: I’m moving, I’m conserving.
KD: Really, you’re going with that?
C: Bro, that’s the trouble with conservation, peeps don’t see it, so they don’t think there is value in it.
KD: It’s just a matter of ensuring something’s left when you need it.
C: Hence, my conserving…
KD: Hence, my understanding.
INDISCRIMINATE SHOVELING
Morning Scoopers and Scopers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Big John, what’s going on?
Big John: Dude, they knew…
KD: Who is the they?
BJ: The NFL, Bro…They knew about these emails before this past weekend.
