It appears to me that Snoopy is going to be a History and Geography double major by the time he is done.
Nice shots Froggie. (This whole thread seems to also be a collage of our thumbs! ) S H/B

I was getting worried about the tavern. Don't want to think of Snoopy turning into a lush or anything.
Great shots. Carry on. |

Fun to see Maryland. All I've ever seen of it before now was the interstate... this is so much nicer!
Good going Froggie! |

There is a small price. Those bell ringing injuries do revisit. But still rather I did than regret I didn't.

Snoopy found on radar
Have to say...
Lots of Karma to FROGGIEPOSITION. She stepped up and retrieved Snoop from Sticky's scooter dilemma. As Snoopy knows, crap does happen. Especially a long way from home... Snoopy's boss once said, "failure is not an option." So, with wisdom, Sticky, LM15 and Froggie analyzed the problem and got him back on the road from the scooter rally in Canton, NC. Froggie safely drove him hundreds of miles all the way up to Annapolis, MD by scooter power. Wow, he loved it. Froggie, we all want to give you a big hug for his rescue and your fantastic tour of the Annapolis community. Think we all learned lots! Thanks again, Amy. Now, I've been informed that Snoopy has been tracked and will begin a suborbital burn within the next couple of days. So far, all systems are "A-OK". Hope his splash down will be fun for everyone.

We opened the package to find Snoopy awake but absolutely knackered from being bumped and jostled continuously for days in the post, and that after a whirlwind of partying to the hilt. He's been asleep all the time since. We'll wake him up around beer o'clock.
He arrived here a few days earlier than we'd anticipated - just as well it turns out, as he doesn't have a passport with him and will also need to be certified as rabies free by a vet. Lots of paperwork to organise! The next few days will be rest days for him before venturing over the pond. There's not exactly much 'history' in Pleasant Hill - it's only been a city for 50 years, but we'll find enough to keep him interested. Mozart (24/7 outdoor cat) wasn't too sure about this
Absolutely spark-out, cuddling up to Freddo.
The box has been claimed!

Snoopy eventually awoke, slightly dozy, perhaps he'd slept too long? Whatever, he tentatively agreed to come outside into the evening sun and sample a beer.
I'm sure in his days as an Astronaut he had fine upstanding self-discipline. That seems to have been subverted over the years - maybe only in the last few weeks. I had to apologise to him as the only sensibly-sized drinking vessel for him was a measuring glass. He quaffed those down in a matter of minutes. Luckily I remembered 'winning' a Secret Santa beer-tasting set last year. These seemed more to his liking. He's now soundly asleep again. If he wants a pee in the middle of the night he'd better suss out one of the multiple litter-boxes made available... He soon got the flavour...
Freddo doesn't like beer, thank goodness for my stocks...
And another one
Sebastian saw a squirrel, so no beer spilt.
He appreciated a better sized glass.
"Blonde Merkin" was a hit!
Enough I think. A great drinking companion, but does he know his limit?

Lets hope the plane has a drinks service or poor Snoops might dry out and go cold turkey - that could be dangerous on a plane.
