Yesterday, I called Brooks to wish him a happy birthday but got word that their 9 year old Guapo was dying. He had a tumor and was getting worse. He won't be with them much longer. He's been with Cristi and Brooks even before they had kids. almost all through their marriage and he's been part of that family longer than the children. Saying goodbye is hard to do.
When I woke up this morning, this is what i saw Cristi posted on Facebook:
Today we had to say goodbye to our 9-year-old dog, El Guapo, who suddenly became ill and was battling a very large and aggressive tumor on his spleen. Oh how difficult this heartbreak 💔 has been for each one of us and additionally more difficult watching @photosbynixon grieve over the loss of one of his best friends. He remained by his side throughout the entire process- even sleeping on the couch to be closer to him last night. Guapo could see how upset we all were today during his final moments and went up to Nixon and leaned into him as to say good bye for the last time. This photo was taken shortly after Guapo passed.
"Dogs have a way finding the people who need them and filling a space they didn't know they had." #truth Our family had to say good bye to our furry family member over the weekend... And I sure wasn't prepared for the void we have felt with him being gone.
