Although he's certainly working through a lot of issues, there's something so sincere and endearing about Hakeem. One of my favorite moments was when he flipped out on Andre after Lucius announced his ALS diagnosis and all Andre could think about was the IPO. I cried during not one, not two, but THREE Hakeem-related…

To me, it's very simple: I care about Lucius because Cookie does. God help him when he crosses her.

I wish they had shared a spaghetti strand a la Lady & the Tramp!

I don't know if this is a possibility for you — I have two pet doors. The dogs go through the laundry room into the garage, then through the garage into the yard.
