Sad news today.
Erik's dog, Fred, was put down. He had a kidney tumor, and any treatment would just delay the inevitable. :-( We're all so sad about the situation, because Fred was SUCH a friendly fellow. He didn't know a stranger, except for Erilk's brother, Bryan. For whatever reason, no matter what Bryan did, Fred would have none of his good will.
Fred and Erik met when Erik lived in Missouri. A co-worker of Erik's brought Fred over after the pup was heisted from a puppy mill. They were buddies ever since.
When Erik moved to Salina, Erik had to move in with "grandma and grandpa" because Erik's apartment didn't allow dogs. :-(
