You have all kinds of friends everywhere. That’s because you are such a good hearted and friendly lad who is a lover, not a fighter. However, I’m thinking perhaps you shouldn’t introduce Kitty and the beautiful cardinals. Probably safer that way all the way around.
Our terriers love when we put out peanuts in the winter to attract blue jays. They pick up the peanuts the birds drop, bring them inside, shell and eat them.
Growing up in the same MinnesotaTwin Cities as Sparky, we have two newspapers. The Minneapolis Tribune that carried Peanuts and St Paul (Where he grew up) Pioneer Press.
We rarely got the Tribune so I didn’t get to see Peanuts all the time till Dad retired and gets both papers.
Well I just saw both papers today, and shocked that no story is in the Tribune but there is one about Sparky, in the St Paul Pioneer Press.
Dad says Charles wanted PP to carry his Peanuts toon but for some reason they didn’t want it so over the Mississippi River the Tribune took it.

There is a photo of Alex Graham and Charles Schulz—with cartooned-in additions of Fred Basset and Snoopy! I could find it for you in this one book . .

“Peanuts,” the most popular comic strip of all time, was born right here at the St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch — sort of.
As an infant, Schulz was nicknamed “Sparky” by an uncle who liked Spark Plug the horse, a character in the comic strip “Barney Google.”
