I’m watching Snoopy Come Home (it’s streaming on HuluPlus at this point.) We see Snoopy and Woodstock get into a bus, and immediately, they’re both kicked to the curb. Then we see the sign: “No dogs allowed.” So why did Woodstock get kicked off?

Let me apologize for the relative silence on the blog this week; I’ve been dealing with both writing deadlines (which I’ve gotten clear of) and a cold (which I have not). But I can tell you that as promised, I now have Let’s Dance, Snoopy, and to answer the question I put …
