Snoopy came to us this day in history...

On this day, 62 years ago,  my hero Snoopy  made his first appearance in the strip Peanuts.
Snoopy is neurotic like me, 
He  loves root beer and pizza, hates coconut candy, gets claustrophobia in tall weeds, and is deathly afraid of icicles dangling over his doghouse.
If I had a doghouse, I would be afraid too.
Just like me Two things Snoopy dislikes are listening to balloons being squeezed and cats.
My dislike for cats is serious, I have a real revulsion for the feline.
Snoopy has Woodstock and I have the VonHolediggers.
If you ask me, Snoopy and I even look alike.
I know he is a Beagle and I am a Spaniel.  But together our breed is an American.
I love you Snoopy!

P.S .  The video is my favorite Snoopy video, I know a bit early for Christmas.  But, so enjoyable...
