I told my friend Andrew that Snoopy's condition is causing me to be very unhappy. I guess no one understands the pain that I am feeling, caring for Snoopy in this condition when I was the one who brought him up since he was three weeks old.
Andrew says that it is time for me to let him go, which means that he suggests that i put him to sleep. I can never do that because I am not going to play God. Andrew says that sometimes it is not something that we want to do but something that we must do. Surely I don't want to see Snoopy continues to suffer?
Of course I don't want him to suffer and in fact, I pray that if this is the end for him then let it be quick. I have always been afraid that Snoopy and Dino will drag on in pain at the end of life, especially as they advance in age. But to see Snoopy like this, not exactly in tremendous pain, not exactly terminally ill, is so difficult for me to give the go ahead to the vet.
Andrew says that the time has come to do it for the good of everyone. You know how I hate it when people say that I should put Dino and Snoopy to sleep. I know best if that is the ONLY option and right now, that is not an option at all.
I told Andrew that if I were to have Snoopy killed just because I am suffering taking care of him, just to free up my responsibility towards Snoopy and so that i could move on in life, that would be extremely selfish of me. I can't do that. How could I abandon him like that?
