IT WILL NEVER GET US THROUGH...
Morning Money, more or less,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Doobie
Doobie: Did you see they have outbreaks at the Olympics
KD: I did, but you knew it was bound to happen.
D: I thought they had protocols in place.
KD: Apparently, the virus doesn’t follow protocols.
D: Tell me again why we’re holding Fan-Less Olympics?
KD: Money Doobie, it’s about the money…
D: And you know what, money isn’t going to get us through this.
Morning Peeps,
MORNING?? OR AFTERNOON ARMY??
Ken-Dogger: "Fluffy, hey boy, you gettin' up?"
Fluffy: "Dude, it's O Dark Thirty, this is no time for cute little pups..."
Ken-Dogger: "Fluffer man, just gettin' you ready for Army training son..."
Fluffy: "KD, I'm training for the Afternoon Army..."
GET CONCERNED WHEN THEY START ORGANIZING
Ken-Dogger: "Okay, come on guys, we're ready for our group picture, this will be soooo cute...Come on, guys, what's up with Cooter?"
Shooter: "Well, dude, Cooter, we think got into some of your 'medicinals' last evening, he's been dozin' for a time now..."
Ken-Dogger: "Okay, reschedule, those 'medicinals' are wicked, he's out for a while..."
Shooter: "Better find a new hiding place, dude, we're organizing..."
YOU MIGHT BE LIMPIN' BACK...
Cletus: "Hey you, don't touch that, touch this...Let me just tell ya, if you're interested, we come as a trio, you're not takin' Bertha and Fay away from me, I hear what you all do to new arrivals in 'Merica."
Buyer: "Oh no, that wouldn't happen here..."
Cletus: "I'm just tellin' ya, if you come near here and ya got that look, you'll be walkin' over, but you'll be limpin' back..."
CHOOSING YOUR HILL...
Morning Hill Climbers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Colossus
Colossus: Hey Dogger, I was thinking about just resting inside today.
KD: Has been pretty hot out.
C: Way too hot bro…my paws burn, you’re probably not going to like me too much today.
KD: Why’s that?
C: Most likely, I’m gonna go in places you no want me to go.
KD: You gonna go there?
C: We all gotta choose what hill we’re gonna die on.
SOME LOOKS WORK...
Morning Warm-Hearted Souls,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Georgi the Corgi
GtC: (Why is he bothering me, I need to stay in bed)
KD: You ready to get up?
GtC: (Does it look like I’m ready to get up?)
KD: I’m getting up, I can’t lie in bed after I’m up.
GtC: (I’m sad for you Bro, I got this, the warmth soothes me…)
KD: I’ll let you stay in bed and rest.
GtC: (I gotta remember this look, for your warmth and mine)
DIG DEEP TO AVOID THE GATHERING GLOOM
Morning to Those Who Are Not Afraid of Seeking The Truth Or Understanding Your Past and How it Determines Your Future,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cicero
Cicero: Morning Bro, got a question…How will we learn now in schools?
KD: What do you mean? Oh, you’re talking Critical Race Theory aren’t you?
C: Yep…as I understand it, if something causes you stress or concern, we don’t teach it?
1/2
RELATIONSHIPS, THEY GET REAL
"Oh, you're getting all clean, you'll smell so fresh..."
"Ken-Dogger, you get that soap in my eye one more time and the shit will about to get real, you feel me player?"
"Come on, Snuffles, it's just a bath..."
"Let me explain the concept of shit gettin' real..."
AND THEY CALL IT DOGGY LOVE, JUST BECAUSE WE'RE...
Looks like DOGGY LOVE
MEET CHAZ
Ken-Dogger: Morning Chaz
Chaz: Hey Dogger, let’s get this walk in…
KD: It has been hot, best to do stuff before it gets unbearable.
C: Let’s go to the park, see my buds.
KD: IDK, the parks full of people sleeping there.
C: Peeps sleep there?
KD: Yes, sometimes that’s all that they have.
C: Let’s still go, they probably need some doggy love.
KD: We ALL need doggy love.
THE USUAL SUSPECTS...
"I'm just gonna lay here and snicker. Why is that you might ask? Well, in the morning, right before my owner peeps awaken, I like to let out a 'smellie'...
They always accuse the other on this one, makes me smile..."
KISSING TRUCKS??
Morning Kissers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Scruff
Scruff: Morning, where is that truck?
KD: Huh, what are you up to now?
S: I’m looking for that International truck.
KD: and why, pray tell?
S: Bro, it’s International Kissing Day.
KD: Scruff, I think that means global kissing, not a truck per se.
S: Sheesh, what is it with messaging…Even special days now are unclear.
KD: Pretty sure we’re not doing a day for kissing trucks.
S: Really sure?
KD: Not yet anyway…
Morning Snuffers,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Prince
Prince: Hey Dogger, I’m just hangin’…
KD: Wanna go to the park?
P: Okay, but it is not as fun as it used to be. No one talks anymore.
KD: I know, it was nice when you could go and walk and just have random convos.
P: It’s getting to the point where saying hi is toxic.
KD: Everything does not have to be inflamed.
P: But a lot of peeps in the US are living off the inflammation.
KD: Then we’re gonna be snuffers and wipe it out.
SPREAD 'EM OUT
"Ma, I get this whole acculturation thing and this puppy training, I think I now understand why holidays are spread out."
"Ma, how are we doing on seltzer water?"
There ARE Many...
Morning Seekers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Melo what’s up?
Melo: They call me Melo Yellow, quite rightly
KD: A little Donovan this morning…
M: Blasting out my pipes yo…And what is an Electrical Banana?
KD: It blasts out pipes too…
M: Wha?
KD: Apparently, this was a reference for a vibrator.
M: A what?
KD: A pleasure tool…
M: I thought I was a pleasure tool.
KD: There are many…
From 2020...WE STILL NEED AN INTERDEPENDENCE DAY
Ken-Dogger: Morning Cleo, all ready for Independence Day?
Cleo: You know it Bro, the parade, the picnic, the celebrations, the fireworks…
KD: But they have all been cancelled.
C: Wha? You mean peeps can’t get together?
KD: Yep, seems Americans don’t like following rules anymore.
C: Oh, the Freedom without Responsibility Movement continues…
KD: Yes, it does, maybe we should have called this INTERDEPENDENCE DAY.
JUST KEEP STROKIN' IT...
In times like we are now experiencing daily in America, we all just need a hug and some strokin'...
I'm strokin' to the right, I'm strokin' to the left, I'm strokin' to the one I love the best...
I'm strokin'...
REMEMBERING WHEN WE LEANED ON EACH OTHER...FOR SUPPORT
Well, we all need someone we can lean on, and if you want it babe, well you can lean on me...
NEIGHBORS??
Ken-Dogger: Morning Max, you ready for a walk?
Max: Yes Dogger, see my neighborhood…
KD: It’s nice to check up on your neighbors, keep track of your surroundings.
M: Yep, and a lot more peeps home now.
KD: We’re retreating to safe spaces and places, our neighborhoods.
M: Will you all try this reopening thing again?
KD: Most definitely, but perhaps we’ll get it right when we treat everywhere as our neighborhood.
M: That’s cool, won’t you be my neighbor…
WORDS HAVE MEANINGS, SOMETIMES...MORE THAN ONE
"Dude, stop it, I'm your sister..."
"I know that, I was using you as a test strip..."
"A Test Strip?"
"Yes, Dad was watching this channel, por-something I think, and this dude had this exact signature move...He said, let's test this and strip...I was just shortenin' the process..."
Ken-Dogger: Morning Kevin, strike a pose.
Kevin: Just stop, you know what I’m doing.
KD: I think I do, but fill me in.
K: I’m waiting for my sustenance.
KD: Oh, you depend on me for sustenance, don’t you?
K: I do, it’s a complementary cycle, we need each other to make it.
KD: When I help you live, it helps me live, from the joy.
K: Not sure why helping joy doesn’t fill the world.
KD: Peeps think they can do it alone Kevin.
K: The world is nothing if it is not interdependent.
