Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for May 26, 2024

There’s no candy for the both of us.

But, there was enough for him.

Charlie Brown needs to either buy twice as much candy or get better at avoiding Snoopy.

Charlie Brown needs to learn to NOT swivel away from Snoopy—that only invites him to chase his “prey”. Stand firm, or even step towards the dog, and say “No you don’t! This is mine!” Done right, the dog will respect your space and back off. I know this works, because I’ve used this technique on dogs who were guests in my house, or when I was a guest in their house, and they were unfamiliar with me.

You could have given him a tiny bit.

Snoopy is a persistent little pup!

There he goes with the chocolate again! Bad for the dog!

One of my relatives has this yappy little rat-dog. Every time I stand up or make any sudden move, she starts barking hysterically and snapping at the cuff of my pants. Finally once, I turned toward her and barked back.

Confused the living heck out of her.

So did Snoopy.

If Charlie Brown had just given Snoopy a bit of the candy in the first place, he wouldn’t have lost it all!

Darn it, Snoopy! Chocolate is poisonous to dogs and Charlie Brown should know better!
