SNOOPY DOG...by b. Malin
A DOG STORY...FOR PEOPLE
Hi Everybody, My name is "Snoopy". Before I start my story, which I could have called my Tale, (Tail) Ha, Ha, Get it? I've got to tell you, that I'm So Vain...Carly Simon probably wrote that Song about me...Eat your Heart out Mick Jagger. Anyway, How do you think I look Best...with, or without my READING Glasses? Please let me know when you leave a Comment for b. Malin to read. Then she can let me know, for I am her Dog, her Companion, of about 25 years...I know (sigh) I know, I look SO YOUNG. Now for "Our" story...
b. Malin's friend "Harold" brought me into her life because of a Good Deed...She went Shopping with him at "Macy's", to help him buy a Gift, for his then future wife. I was an Extra added Treat if a certain amount was spent. Ok, Ok, Honestly, I cost $5.00. Harold bought me for b. Malin. It was LOVE at first sight for ME, and I am still with b. Malin...Still Crazy for her. Harold, who did eventually marry, is no longer married to that woman, AND, Harold is Dead...He passed away a few years back. I know, Sad. I don't get that emotional, I'm a Dog, but it was Sad.
b. Malin eventually married "Lover Man"...I humbly accepted 2nd place. I used to sit upon her bed, but after the marriage, I was put in the "Guest Room" on the sofa bed. It was ok, I still had Good Hearing, and didn't miss out on ANYTHING.........Oh fill in the Blanks Folks, Fill in the Blanks. Now if you've taken your minds out of the GUTTER, I shall continue. Just remember, she is my Mistress. Wow, that sounds kinda of kinky. Ok, on with the story...
The Happy Couple bought a "Condo", it was nice. I still lived in the Den, but it was ok, it had a TV, and when they weren't home, I'd turn it on and watch 60 minutes...What? you thought I'd say "Lassie" or some Dog Movie. PLEASE DON'T STEREOTYPE ME. There were "Happy Times" and there were some "Sad Times"...
b. Malin's Niece, the Artist died by her own choice of death...and b. Malin held me close on many a night, and just let the tears flow, Lover Man sat beside us, and held us close. That was the worst of times...The very worst of Times.
Happy times...so many...the Birth of Grandchildren, and watching them grow...that was Special...Moving to a House...NO, I still didn't get back into the Bedroom... The "Secret Room in the House"...That's where I stayed. The Grandkids would play with me when they came to visit. By this time, I'd lost my Hat & Scarf...b. Malin and I never cared for them anyway.
Then, a few years back we moved again, it was called "Downsizing". The house was smaller, and I was now to live in the added on Sun Porch. Oh it's Beautiful, with so many Windows to look out of...I sit in a Rocking Chair...I now need Reading Glasses...So does b. Malin. I think Lover Man is BLIND without his Glasses...Or is it just wishful thinking...Just Doggie Kidding. He's ok, he's grown on me. Now, are you ready for this? I just HEARD that we are going to be Moving AGAIN, this time to FLORIDA! I'd heard about the Condo w/the View...And b. Malin said she was taking ME there this winter. Of course I'm excited...And I don't care where I'm going to sit. It's just all SO Exciting! They want to sell the house in NJ next Spring, so I'm NEVER coming back. Excuse me while I Pant...We Dogs do that when we're Happy. Ok, I'm done PANTING... So, tell me now, How do I look? You could be Honest...I won't BITE you...I can't. Bet you thought I'd say, "cause I Haven't got Any Teeth"! Well maybe in my Next Life... But I'm not leaving b. Malin anytime soon...And hey, b. Don't forget to pack the Suntan Lotion. "BARK, BARK... THAT'S ALL FOLKS".

Once again, thanks for your Comments and of course your Vote!

Thank You...Now keep on Smiling and Enjoying your Day! LOL.
The first read of the day--you made me smile!

Hi Toknowinfo, Snoopy says "Thank You". I'm sure he is planing many more Chapters in his mind. But a Hub Page Account...I don't even have one, I just write...Why he'd be Impossible to live with!
That was so nice of you to Suggest he Pack his "Suntan Lotion"...actually, I think he's already taken mine! I'll let him know you Enjoyed his Hub Contribution. Loved all your Comments.

Hi Vocalcoach, Your Comments were such a Joy to read. Snoopy was Thrilled to hear them, and is now walking around with a Sexy trot, with his glasses on!
Your "Will Comment" made Lover Man and I Laugh! And if you ever get to Florida, PLEASE Visit. Interesting Move for you to California, sounds like a Good, Positive Choice. Hope it brings you Happiness, my Friend. LOL.
Hi Snoopy, I am so glad you got an opportunity to write your own hub. You certainly have a wonderful story to tell. It really made me paws (see I can be witty too) to think about all you and B. have been through. I am sure this next chapter will bring lots of joy and wonderful things for all of you. Maybe you will even get your own Hub Pages account so we can hear more about your ruff and interesting adventures. Make sure to use plenty of suntan lotion, to protect your pale white coloring. Good luck to all of you and thanks for the laughs.
Ohhhhhh, Snoopy - I've been in love with you for years! There's so much to love about you. You're a fantastic writer to begin with. You have great patience for putting up with moving and adjusting to the spare room. (I will be doing the same, come spring when I will move back to California with my daughter.)
And oh, Snoop, you are so sexy! You are one "hot dog."
Keep the glasses - they make you look like Johnny Depp - pant, pant.
Be patient with b.malin and loverman. Don't forget, there will be a will one day:)
If I make it to Florida, I will drop by and give you my special belly rub. Just for you. sweetie.
Oh - in case you want to reach me sometime, I'm vocalcoach. And you're just so dog-gone awesome! x0x0x0

Hi Snakeslane,
Thank YOU, I'm so glad you Enjoyed. Yes, it's a plan to move...and hopefully come May, we sell NJ, and can be on our way!
I also Enjoyed all your Comments as well.
Thanks for coming by, and also having read my other story thoughts...Thank You.
b. Malin, Now this is how to tell a tail! Glasses yes. Thank you for sharing Snoopy with your readers, there is something so endearing about his love for his Mistress and her family. It sounds as though the entire entourage is ricocheting from coast to coast to coast (Ok I have to admit I have read (and enjoyed) a few previous Hubs). Those window views are fantastic. Regards, snakeslane

He is Lovable...Most of the time. Yes, 25 years is a LONG time...Now, he's looking forward to Florida, and the next 25 years or so... Thanks for your Comments.

Hi Alicia,
Snoopy says "Thank You". He will let Everyone know what he thinks of his new "Digs", after he's been there awhile. He needs to "Smell" the whole Experience first hand! Thanks for your Fun Comments.
- Author
Hi Ruby,
He is...Hopefully he won't write a book, because I'd have to be his "Typist". Well, wait till I tell Snoopy about your Dog, Singing and Tapping his foot...On second thought...Snoopy has a LOUSY singing voice...so maybe Not. So Glad you Enjoyed.

Hi Arb,
Yes, Snoopy is Excited by the move, being HE gets to stay when we come back in May, to sell our NJ home. What he does, while we're away, only the WALLS will know...Ha, Ha. Thanks for your Fun Comments.

Hi Gail,
Thank You. Snoopy will be pleased by your Comments...He's so Vane. He likes himself better without the glasses. Thanks so much for your Comments, and of course your Votes. LOL Back to YOU!

Hi Breakfastpops,
He could probably help Bo adjust to different Digs...after Nov. election...I'm Just saying.
Delightful Snoopy "Tail". Congrats on your move. Boy I wish I were going to Florida. I do have friends there. Well done.
Snoopy looks good with the glasses :)
You are a good writer b Malin!
Very original concept in this write! Thanks for the giggles and I commend you for the harder lines that needed writing. Sympathies and prayers for your heartbreaking loss of your niece as well as your friend Harold.
My vote - glasses on!
Who doesn't love Snoopy? What a cute story. He certainly has been through many important life events with your family. Florida! That is my neck of the woods. I know Snoopy will enjoy the sunshine.
You are a very handsome dog, Snoopy, and you've been a wonderful companion for b. Malin. Thank you for telling us your story - it was very interesting. I'm sure that you will enjoy Florida. Please tell us about your experiences when you get there - we would all love to read them!
Snoopy is so intelligent. I bet he could write a book..HaHa. I like him with or without glasses, he's cute. All kidding aside, I have a doggie that i love dearly. He sings, ' Singing in the rain . and taps his foot. I've had him for many years. Loved your little story..Cheers...
Everyone has said that they would like to be a fly on the wall. Sounds like snoopy has no need of such a wish. I am delighted that he is happy with the move and I am excited for all of you. Perhaps there is a Lucy in the neighborhood; I know lemonade is very popular in Fl. A fun read and it is nice to be kept up to date with the saga of b. and lover man!
Now that's got to be the most unique, clever and cute, moving announcement I've ever seen!
I think the reading glasses give Snoopy a touch of maturity, but he looks more cuddly without them.
Voted up across the board.
Hub Hugs,
Gail
Snoopy is just as talented as BO, the presidential dog. They should hang out!

Hi Jools,
He wanted 2 pictures...He's so Vain. Very Clever Comments, made me Smile and Snoopy had a Laugh too...I think he was Laughing, hard to tell with that closed mouth of his.

Hi ImKarn,
"Snoopy" will LOVE the "Mah-velous" Comment. Sorry, if I made you cry, it's that time of year of my Niece's passing...but I didn't want to keep it Sad.
Yes, I think Snoopy has it made, in his Rocking Chair, just taking it all in.
We are going to N. Palm Beach...Snoopy's suggestion. And I once had a Book, that I bought... "I am Blind, and my Dog can't See"...Sort of sounds like us! I'm so Glad you Enjoyed and I LOVED your Comments.

Hi tobusiness,
And I'm "Bitching" about NJ weather today, also Cold and looking like Rain...Yes, it makes Florida look like Paradise. I'll take YOU along in Spirit, girlfriend. Thanks for your Comments and Wishes of Luck.

Hi Rosemay,
Yes, "Snoopy" was carrying on how he wanted to write a Hub...So I said fine, and still wound up typing away on my Mac...He doesn't know how. A Fun afternoon!
The real Excitement will start after we sell the House in NJ. Then it's off we go for Good! Loved your Comments.
- Author
Hi A.A.
Florida will definitely be GOOD...And "Snoopy" is really now into the whole Idea...Yes, the final MOVE...that will be another Chapter in our Crazy Lives. But it's on hold for now, until we sell NJ.
- Author
Hi Mckb,
Leaving that Snow behind is definitely part of the Big Plan. "Snoopy" can't wait to get going, and is already packing his Googles, and Flippers. He'll get to stay down there, but WE will come back in the Spring to sell the NJ house. "Snoopy" will be the WatchDog in Florida.
- Author
Hi Drbj,
"Bark, Bark" and Thank You. Of course Remember, I only need the Glasses when I'm reading my "Fan Mail"..."Snoopy" said to tell you. I'm going to write all your Suggestions down for b. Malin & Lover Man to do for ME in Florida..."Celebrity" Sun Glasses is on the Top of my List.

Hi Sueswan,

Hi Sgbrown,
Thank You. Not only do I LOVE him...So do all my Female Friends. He always gets to sit on someone's Lap...and Oh the things he gets to Hear.

Great well written and fun hub, love Snoopy and without his glasses. Very cleverly written which made it a awesome read !
Vote up and more !!!
A very funny way to share your move via dog's tale. I love Snoopy and have three of them, but one fell in the floor and my cat took advantage and peed on it. (After all, Snoopy is a dog.) I'm still trying to decide if he can go through the washer. Anyway, good luck to you and yours in your move. Voted you up and funny.
clever, and cute make sure you tell the dawg that b malin...:) LOL
Aw, I love Snoopy, though he looks a little bit too intellectual in those specs. He probably revealed a bit more about himself than he realised and is clearly a dawg for every occasion - happy and sad. Not surprising that they are called '(wo)man's best friend' :o)
You Look Mah-velous, Snoops!
i have no idea why this hub made me laugh AND cry - both at the same time! Absolutely loved it!
b. Malin is sooo lucky to have you, AND vice versa - i'd love to live in a swinging chair on a nice warm porch - especially in florida!
Where ya moving to in florida, Snoops - cause - i'm coming that way tooooo!
Can't express how much i enjoyed! Great imagination - lovely family - blind or not!
Hi Snoopy, nice to meet you, I'm so jealous.
Wish I could move to Florida right now. In England there is a chill in the air and we are looking forward to rain, floods and months of misery, I wish you and b. Malin the best of luck.
Hi Snoopy, it is real good of you to take over hubbing while 'B' is busy packing. So nice to meet you and good to know that she has a loyal friend to take care of her.
You must be so excited, bye bye snow... hello sunshine.
Florida will be good. And Snoopy is brilliant, afterall, he did write this hub. Sounds like the move is the next chapter. Can't wait to hear about the details.
b. must stand for bond. You certainly bonded with Snoopy the family mascot and bank full of memories both happy and sad. Sounds like you have discovered an interesting retirement plan that includes leaving snow behind.
To Snoopy: Dear Snoop, you look like an intellectual with your glasses.
But when you get to Florida you may want to trade them in for the real thing - celebrity-looking sunglasses. That Florida sun can be hard on the eyes.
I know you will love the sunshine state
And B. and Lover Man may even find you a date. Promise!
Hi Snoopy
We all have heard of a funny bone. Well Snoopy dog you have a funny tail.
I hope you, b Malin and lover man will be happy in Florida. Maybe you will get to go to Disney World. Wouldn't that be fun?
I think you look best without your glasses
Voted up across the board.
Take care :)
So cute! I love Snoopy with his reading glasses. He sounds really sweet and faithful and I'm sure you love him very much! I really like this hub! Congrats on moving to Florida! Voting this up and more! :)
LOL b. Malin,
I just could not stop laughing here. This is hilarious and very clever indeed. Voted up, awesome, funny and intersting
God bless. In His Love, Faith Reaper
b. Malin,
The Velveteen Rabbit with your humorous flair as we meet Sir Snoopy!
This was charming and adorable...so happy you are heading to Florida.
Voted UP and FAB. Hugs, Maria
hope it all works out. ! nice write b, oops i mean SNOOP
Great way to share with us. Hope it all works out perfectly and certainly a good time to go south. I love October in Fl.
Snoopy is DA BOMB! Great story; had me laughing, but then I expect to have a good belly laugh when I read your work. Great job....sharing!
Hey B...This was adorable...Snoopy has it going on after all these years..I do believe I like the glasses..it makes him look very sophisticated and kind of sexy...(don't tell him he may get a big head) Thanks for the smiles.
Sunnie
Your story is very funny. Snoopy looks good with his glasses and it makes him look more intelligent, haha.
Voted up funny and awesome. Good luck selling your home, Joyce.
