Ivan...

Sad day at our house today.  We had to put ivan down this morning due to a large tumor on his spleen.  He wasn't in much pain yet but we didn't want him to start to suffer.  He hasn't been doing well since Sunday.  Jake took him to the vet this morning & stayed with him.  Well miss him lots especially during harvest when Jake is working long hours.  He was in trouble a lot but always was a good dog for us.

Ivan ready to go tailgating.  Best years of his life there in Manhattan.

Buddies.  I haven't taken K out to the garage yet because I know there is going to be lots of questions.  Might wait to Jake is home to tackle this.  We had kept her away from him this week just because we didn't know how he would respond if he was in any pain.  But Jake took her out last night to let her see him one last time.
