Many friends have asked me to "let go" of Snoopy. It's really not a question of whether I want to let go or to keep him. They think that I am letting him suffer and that if I can not cope, putting him down is the best way. But for whom?
Right now, there is no question of keeping him. Sure I am very frustrated and I swear every minute especially when I am kept awake or when I am unable to work, at all!
But you know, I think that to have him dead or alive is really out of my hands. It's not like he is in chronic pain or suffering from a terminal disease. The problem is that he is fine except that he is trapped in a body with weak hind legs. He just can't walk.
Whether Snoopy stays and for how long, if he leaves and by what way, as a Buddhist, I leave it up to God. I hope that it will never come to the point where I play God!
