Harley, a spirited Springer Spaniel pup, now is enthusiastically greeting Vermillion Elevator customers. Harley has replaced Willy, who was a fixture at the elevator for about 14 years. Sadly, old age and an aggressive tumor forced Greg, Kate and the girls to have Willy put to sleep last June. Unlike Willy, who contentedly sat in a chair by the window and watched the world rush past, Harley loves to chew on toys, pigs' ears, fingers, pant legs, shoelaces, a doorstop and an occasional telephone line. He grows taller and longer by the day and hopefully soon will earn Willy's coveted -- and never relinquished -- title as Employee of the Month.

Willie in his prime.
