Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just saw a Twilight tie-in Volvo commercial. That was weird. I wouldn't have thought there was much overlap between the Volvo demographic and the Twilight demographic.

Compassionately intolerant

Pix, I'm sorry a read but then glossed over the foster piece.

In that case, there is one last thing, given you won't know how long the litter was together.

Let the puppy bite you.

Check to see how 'mouthy' and/or 'claiming' the behavior is. If the puppy puts her mouth on you but does not hurt by pressing down, that is good. Let her, but then distract with a treat or a toy and praise her for letting go.

If she DOES press down, do not jerk your hand away. I know, counter-intuitive, but it is critical to test for bite inhibition...something only other dogs can teach with any efficiency.

Say "OW!" in a high, quick tone. (like a puppy squeal) If she lets go, you are good. If she does not let go, push your hand into her mouth, triggering a gag reflex and pull away when she lets go.

Think hard about a dog who continues to use you as a chew toy. It can be fixed, but again, will take a lot of work you may not want to undertake.

The Cullens like Volvos.

Pix, the dogs in that link are all adorable, but I think Posey is a little extra adorable. I'm glad to hear that the money situation is a little better.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I wouldn't recommend mixing brand and generic wellbutrin, fwiw.

I second this. In terms of bioavailability, they have a much wider difference than they claim that they do. So switching back and forth might make things screwy.

That said, I also have some generic wellbutrin XL, 150 mg, free to a good home.

And if smonster doesn't want the Zoloft, Nora, it's yours.

I am on generic wellbutrin right now, and would love more.

I will insend to Pix and Teppy.

I wouldn't recommend mixing brand and generic wellbutrin, fwiw.

Hell, I would go one step further and say mixing generic wellbutrin by different manufacturers is a bad idea. People I am very fond of had to learn the hard way that the generic from different manufacturers is wildly different in effectiveness.

Volvos are big on safety, as is Edward for his fragile Bella.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Reading bonny's puppy-selection guide made me have a thought. We save and memorialize our funniest moments in COMM(A) and in the BRQG. It's too bad we haven't been collecting our best advise, and using it to form a Buffistas' Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything. We'd have everything from household hints to food and drink to relationship advice to career stuff to pet care.

That is a fantastic idea, WindSparrow.
