Michele, you're right; Harley IS "just what [you] need." When I had my cancer scare and went into the hospital for a breast biopsy, I broke down afterwards on my front porch, sobbing uncontrollably. We had just gotten our new puppy, MacKenzie. We had a grown Westie -- Murphy -- but we wanted a companion for her to keep her company while we were at work. Anyway, those two doggies saw me crying, climbed up into my lap, and licked away my tears.
I'm here to tell you, you just can't beat that!
