Everyone Needs a Snoopy :)

I'm not really a big Charlie Brown fan, but I have always loved Snoopy and his sidekick bird Woodstock.  For some reason my husband was watching the Peanuts special, "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown" this past weekend and I sat and watched the last half of the show with him.

Here's a little intro from where I picked it up:
The character, Linus has a heart-shaped box of chocolates he wants to give to his teacher, and wants her to be his Valentine.  For some reason in the middle of the classroom's Valentine party, the teacher leaves the building, while Linus tries to catch up to her to give her the candies.  Only to watch his her leave with her boyfriend.

It was the following scene that got me with Linus on the bridge. (Check video clip HERE)
  
The mood was heartbreaking and I found myself begin get a little teary.  Until...they showed Snoopy and Woodstock behind the bush, catching the chocolates and gobbling up all of Linus' anguish.

I busted out laughing as I could truly relate.  How many times have I thrown all my pain and sorrows on my dogs who just lavished it up like chocolates, while transforming my tears into love?  Countless.  I can not tell you how many "Snoopy's" have saved my life and are still doing so today.

So to all of the Snoopy Dogs out there, Happy Valentine's Day!  Think what a better world it would be if we all had a Snoopy!!

    So true on the Snoopy. I don't know what I'd do without my "Snoopys". They are always there for me when I need them.

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    Oh, come on! You know you love MY Charlie Brown! Who, by the way, somehow climbed on top of the dining room table and dragged an entire box from the fancy bakery shop off, and ate an entire pink raspberry french macaron cake BY HIMSELF over the weekend. BLOCKHEAD. That was supposed to be his Valentine's gift to me, damn it! I'm his little red haired girl!

    If you have a particularly bad day, you're not going to go out looking for another Snoopy, are you?

    Hope you and your Valentine's had a great day!
