"To sleep, perchance to dream..."

1. Mine does exactly that!

[BigmanPigman]

3. Mine too, exactly.

[Croney]

2. Our dog doesn't bark, she whimpers like she's afraid.

I can't stand seeing her dream-suffering so I poke her. 🐶

4. That beagle is chasing rabbits in his dreams.

Sweet dreams pup.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

8. That's exactly what we called it.

Oh there they go again, having one of their rabbit chasing dreams.

[TomSlick]

10. What else would a beagle dream about?

That's what beagles live for.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

13. Well, Snoopy used to dream of flying a Sopwith Camel !!

And shooting down the Red Baron.

[TomSlick]

14. What, wait.....

Snoopy was dreaming?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

15. Oh, you are a PEACH !!!

That was wonderful. Where did you find that ? I didn't think that was still available.

Shortly after the Royal Guardsmen put out that song, lawyers for Charles Schulz (and his publishing syndicate) sued for copyright infringement and won. As they were Brits, they didn't realize that they were breaking the law. It bankrupted and ended the band.

[TomSlick]

16. I drove my parents crazy singing that song.

It's amazing what you can find on YouTube.

I didn't know the story about the lawsuit. I wish Schulz hadn't done that. Sure, it was a copyright infringement but come on.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

17. What's really sad

is they didn't even understand that they had broken any law. All they wanted to do was entertain us.

[TomSlick]

18. And, I can't see how Shultz was hurt at all.

19. I think it came at a time when

people were beginning to get "corporate" in their thinking. When the bottom line started to become the only important measure of success. Cartoonists tend to leave financial matters to managers, agents and accountants.

When I think of how many millions of dollars Peanuts merchandise would take in, your point becomes all the more important.

5. Mine does, and moves his paws like he's running.

[KT2000]

6. how cute is that

he has such a polite little bark in his sleep.

[Doreen]

7. All the dogs I have ever had bark, whine, and growl while asleep.

My cats...how do I say this? They sometimes "chirp"...guess that is the best explanation...in their sleep. They run just like my dogs also.

[2naSalit]

9. I used to have a

cat who would growl, snarl and hiss in her sleep. There would be gestures too.

[Judi Lynn]

11. What a sweetie! Doggies I have known have also barked quietly while napping.

Can you imagine a world with no animals, and only Trumps of various sizes in their places? Feathered, or furry Trumps?

All wearing either nasty suits with long ties, or stained golf clothes, or those attractive see-through large tennis shorts?

We'd have to kill ourselves!

12. We had a dachshund

who wagged his tail in his sleep.
