I agree. Okrand is closer to my age than SuStel’s. Likely SuStel has less similar meme context than Okrand, you and I, being such a youngster. Sent from my iPad

Since this is the only context in which anyone remembers the word dogies nowadays, I have no doubt that Okrand was thinking about this song when he invented the word.
Perhaps that's true "nowadays", but I can assure you that the song isn't why *I* know the word. I have a *lot* of doubt that he was thinking about the song in particular. It was obviously more common in popular culture 40-50 years ago, when western shows like Rawhide and Bonanza were ubiquitous, before the "deruralization" of television.
