SNOOPY BLINGS OUT Good grief. A Chinese jeweler made the most expensive Snoopy memorabilia, worth roughly $371,000, for the beagle’s 60th birthday.

Three orange-and-black-striped fuzz balls tumble out of a rocky hiding place, watching as their mom slowly pads toward them after a long day of hunting. The tired mom lays down to rest, but the nearly two-month-old cubs have been alone all day—it’s playtime! One youngster nibbles her ear. Another bites her tail. The third cub tumbles down her back.
