Strong ears.

So what’s the beagle clenching?

Didn’t need to know that.

Great glutes!

Funny comments !!

Cheeky

He’s doing his Kegel exercises.

Dogs have “cheeks”?

funny

He always made it look so effortless.

So we’ve gotten to the bottom of the mystery

There was (at least) once an angle shown in Peanuts where you could see the doghouse roof is flat, not peaked. Might have been while flying against the Red Baron.

Now we know. Innocence lost.

I saw a similar joke where they showed it from the side and it showed a board sticking out the backside of the doghouse. Of course, all it really needs is a roof that is flat at the top and about 6 inches wide.

That’s not how dogs were made.

TMI!!

People who tried to mimic this came up with the original “Buns Of Steel” video from the 80s.

Wisecrack!

So that’s why there never was a cartoon about Snoopy needing to go to the vet to get “expressed.”

Well, I think the clench is from another area…..but it could be he has a Velcro patch hidden somewhere.

’It’s All About the Clench", …….wasn’t that a hit song back in 2014??

This reminds me of the Tarzan meme that is going around… front and back view of him swinging from a vine, Jane in his arm(s)…

Most people think the word “clench” is supposed to spelled “clinch”. Not so. “Clench” is correct when using the ears or the tail for stability. “Clinch” is for all else.

TMI

I’ll never look at that the same way again. :-0

“He must work out.”

There was a Peanuts strip from the 60s that actually addressed the point. Linus asks CB how do birds keep from falling off branches when they’re asleep. CB says they have muscles in their feet that automatically contract, and that the same principle applies to Snoopy’s ears when he’s sleeping on his roof. Ears, not glutes.

Bummer. Not all its cracked up to be
