Nieve Mayorga Guevara. My hardest goodbye. The worst and most painful week of my life. You were my companion of almost 10 years. You were born June 2015 and became mine February 2016. You were the best gift life could give me. Though the Guevara household wasn’t ready for a new fur baby, you knew we were. I have a lifetime of memories, my post college years are filled with memories of you and I. I no longer know a life without you. My heart feels broken, and my home feels empty. There is a sadness in my heart so wide and immense. I knew this season would be hard, I just never could have imagined how hard. You filled our lives with so much joy and love. You were a Guevara and became a Mayorga when I did 💝. You inherited a new daddy @jcmb_13 and he loved you and cared for you so well. Seeing your daddy care for you assured me he’d be an amazing father to our babies one day. He cuddled you, fed you, took you out, slept with you. Did all the things fur baby dads should do for their fur baby. I also loved hearing my mom tell you that she was your mom and that Julio was really only your brother in law 🤣 it was a special dynamic. You were a Guevara and a Mayorga all in one. We love you NIEVESITA 🐩. I wish I could rewind time and relive the last 10 years with you. Even the hard days. Somewhere along the way we learned to love a dog with a disability. Though I don’t think we ever truly saw you as disabled. You were blind by 4 because of a genetic condition but that didn’t stop you from doing your favorite things, EATING, SLEEPING, CUDDLING. I wish I had more videos and pictures of you. I have so many but they still don’t feel like enough. If love was enough to save you, you’d be here with me today. You were loved not just by me but by my mom, dad, tonito and Julio. I wish we could have stopped the hands of time for a little bit just to take in our last days together. I LOVE YOU NIEVE. My heart will forever be broken. A part of my heart stayed behind in that hospital. My forever companion I sure do hope dogs go to Heaven, because I long to see you again. TE AMO NIEVESITA.

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.

I miss you Nieve. Some days it feels like you were mine in a different lifetime. My life is moving 100 miles an hour. We are soon welcoming your human baby sister into this world. I never imagined it would be without you in my life. A few months ago I was looking down at a DL that Julio had, and the expiration date was 10 years from now. I remember having a breakdown because I couldn’t phantom the thought that you would no longer be here in 10 years. That sadness felt so real and unfair. But I JUTS KNEW it was pregnancy hormones and that I needed to snap out of it. I was sad at the thought that Esther wouldn’t get to have you her whole life time. That nightmare became a reality just a few weeks later. May 4th will forever be the WORST DAY OF MY LIFE. A day my heart broke into a million pieces. I miss you so much little nieve. This is just unfair. Yesterday marked 2 months without out, some days it feels like it’s been a life time since I last kissed your little head, held you in arms, snuggled you in bed or the couch. I wish I could kiss your little face. You had the sweetest face and most loving eyes.

Today I had another memory cross my mind. I took care of your sister’s Princess and Muneca. They didn’t let me sleep all night. They weren’t like you. You loved to sleep with us. You wouldn’t move from the bed unless you heard the word good morning. You also wouldn’t say if we had waited too long, but we would find little unintentional surprises in your cover lol! I miss you mama. I hope we are reunited someday. I love you Nieve.

Today I passed up Petco by Mod Pizza, if I could ever bring you out I would. On this day we decided to eat MOD PIZZA. I felt bad because I had you on a special diet due to all the skin allergies you had. We had already tried allergy shots, new food, and nothing was really working. But after a few weak stomach scares we had decided to completely stop giving you table food. I would give you fruit or carrots if we were eating at the table.
On this day you came with us and I felt bad that you weren’t going to get anything to eat so I stop by petco to by you a treat. The lady was so nice and gifted me the treat because it wasn’t many! I explained you were outside with your daddy waiting at MOD and that I felt had not give you something to eat. So while we eat MOD you got to snack on your yummy treats. I miss you mi perrita hermosa. These past 2 weeks have been so hard without. Forever loving you, your dog mommy 🩷

Nieve, I decided to use this memorial to write down memories of you as they come to mind. Today I got to tell someone I had a little blind dog named Nieve, this was my favorite fact about you because you were so smart and your loss of eyesight was ever a challenge. I got to remember how you would go potty in the yard, and then sniff around to make sure you never stepped in it. You were so smart my sweet girl. I MISS YOU. Te amo mi perrita hermosa.
