I've really come to love Snoopy after my son became obsessed with the Snoopy Show on Apple TV. I don't think he even cares anymore but anytime I see Peanuts merch, I'm like omg Snoopy!

I've loved him since I was a toddler. I still have my old Snoopy stuffed animal that I used to carry around everywhere with me as a child. I wish I could have it safely cleaned.

I still have my Easter Bunny Snoopy from when I was a kid!

There are places that do stuffed animal repair. Maybe look into that?

I'm from Santa Rosa CA, which is where Schulz lived most of his life and the home of the Charles M Schulz Museum. I learned how to skate (badly!) at Snoopy's Home Ice which is next door. Worth a visit if you are a fan! There are also Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Woodstock statues all over town that are fun to find.

He and his wife did such great philanthropy, including making a huge donation to help build the HQ for Canine Companions for Independence in town, where my sister and I volunteered in the kennels when we had a breeder for them.

All this to say, mad props to you Sparky!

Omg so jealous of your proximity to those places. I'd love to go there someday.

You should! I'm biased but it's a great region to visit if you like food and wine too

I need to! Someday.

I love that NASA uses Snoopy as a mascot. There's an award you can get called the Silver Snoopy https://www.nasa.gov/space-flight-awareness/silver-snoopy-award/
