I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! I had a wonderful time with my family, and I am happy to be back visiting with you.
Snoopy is one of my favorite TV dogs. He started out in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schulz in 1950. Snoopy was inspired by Charles Schulz's dog Spike. Snoopy was almost called "Sniffy," but there was another comic strip out with a dog named Sniffy.

Snoopy even had his own song, "Snoopy vs the Red Baron" (1966, by the Royal Guardsmen). It went to number 2 on the Billboard chart.
Snoopy's first TV appearance was in A Charlie Brown Christmas on December 9, 1965. He appeared in many other TV specials after that, including It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966), Charlie Brown's All Stars (1966), You're in Love, Charlie Brown (1967), He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown (1968), Snoopy Comes Home (1972), and many more.
Here is Snoopy from A Charlie Brown Christmas:
And he was featured prominently in It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, too:
One of my favorite things about Snoopy is his happy dance. I have a happy dance too, but Snoopy's is much jazzier!
Are you a fan of Snoopy and his appearances in the Peanuts TV specials? I would love to hear from you in the comments.
Have a wonderful weekend! I look forward to visiting with you next Friday.
Love,

I love Snoopy although I grew up without TV and had a lot of catching up to do in my later years LOL, but still to this day he brings a smile to my face
Snoopy has always been a fave in my book. I loved the prime time specials around all the holidays growing up in the 70's. Him and Charlie Brown went hand in hand.
