Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 09, 2022

A moment of appreciation for that round-headed kid?

what a nice moment for Snoopy and CB!

I wonder how much Snoopy and his beagle siblings cost when adopted from the Happy Daisy Puppy Farm.

Aww that was sweet

Wasn’t it the Daisy Hill?

Awwwwwwww!!!! Is that cute!!!!

Reminds me of poring over the small ads in the newspaper. After all the “Kittens Free to Good Home”, you got the backyard breeder ads. The prices were huge for the average kid in the 70s.

If Snoopy is like every other Beagle that I’ve meet. He and all his beagle siblings at The Daisy Hill Puppy Farm must have had a howling good time.

Chuck looks very disturbed after that.

The roundhead is a great adopter, alright.

Aww, Snoopy loves Charlie Brown.

Aww, how sweet! Gratefulness!

Dogs were affordable back then

A humbling comic indeed.

Snoopy shows gratitude! That’s rarer than showing grownups!

He’s OK with dogs being sold as property?

Snoopy may be demanding and rude, but he’s forever grateful to have a home with the Browns.

I say ditto to that Snoopy. Amen.

I paid $56 for a purebred male beagle puppy in 1985. Got him from conscientious breeders who kept the puppy’s parents as pets.

Yes Snoopy, be very glad you have a home.

Over the years we have had many, many strays that we have given a forever home to. They were always the best of animals, be it canine or feline. I never saw a reason to buy love when there was so much love to be had and to be returned from those already out there.

Back in the ’60s, my brother had a newspaper route. One day he came home with a puppy in the newspaper satchel on his bike! Of course there was a lot of begging from us four kids and my mother let us keep him. That dog was our family dog for many years!

The Flying Ace finally admits he needs a co-pilot

Boy are those prices out of date. You can hardly get a “purebred” dog for less than $1000 these days.

Check out https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1972/01/30 for CB telling Linus the story of getting Snoopy.

Very few free dogs out there, even those without papers.

Why do rescue organizations charge for mixed breed dogs? Reputable dog rescue organizations make sure their dogs get vaccinated and neutered and any medical problems taken care of before offering them for adoption. Often the dogs have been in foster care long enough to determine the dog’s temperament and compatibility with other animals and children so they can be matched with a family where they will succeed, and the fosters write a letter to the adopters describing what they learned about the dog. There’s a lot of expenses before a dog gets adopted.

You have much to be grateful for.

How about some nice MUTTS for sale?

All thanks to the “stupid bald headed kid” eh snoopy?

French bulldog puppies usually cost between $1,500 and $4,500, with the average cost about $3,000.

Over 55 comments so far and not one mention that today marks 57 years since the original broadcast of “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

Man, dogs were dirt cheap back then

This should teach Snoopy not to take his home for granted!

https://www.seattletimes.com/comics-king/?feature_id=curtis/2022-12-09 The comic strip Curtis seems to have devoted many days to a Schulz tribute.

And a butler.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Love the chemistry between the two.

Please never pay for a puppy from an ad in the paper, go to local shelter and adopt a puppy or kitten or even a senior dog or cat.

Aww!

The sweetness of the final two panels softens the realization that, in a world where dogs are smart enough to think and understand such thoughts, what he’s reading is essentially ads for a slave trade.
