THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NAME HARLEY. I HAVE ONE. HE THINKS HE IS KING OF THE HILL, HIS DOES NOT STICK SO NO NEED TO COVER (SISTER DEE DOES IT FOR HIM).

Congrats Marsha! I hope all works out well.. Our Brynn has been so lonely since we lost Smoosh, so I'd love to hear how it all goes.. We entertain getting her a new bud, but so far, all the +s that come our way are kittens, and given the mort rate, we are just too scared to go there after Smoosh...

Re: [Felvtalk] Harley has a new friend
I will say Jen, that although bringing in Zoe has been hard, and brought up lots of feelings about Yang, having another furry face to love has been very comforting.
