Gracie:

I can't tell you how timely your post is for me.

"I definately don't want to fool with anything like Depakote ever again, which turned me into an android"

I am completely numb on Depakote this time around, but with suicidal tendencies. Sounds strange, doesn't it? I keep waiting for the day when I'll wake up and be motivated to actually get something done. It never comes. I think about something I have to do, such as the bills, and I just absolutely don't want to do it. And I don't. No cajoling or promising myself a reward helps.

Before this kicked in, I was irritable and on a kind of euphoric/crabby high.

I wouldn't worry about your retriever having space - many large dogs actually don't need much - they're more mellow. My Lab mix Hates to be outside alone as well. He would much rather be a house dog, and did just fine in an apartment in the city.

I'm still trying to think of a dog that doesn't bark too much, is smaller, and does know when to bark at strangers. I think the corgi is a good idea (did finelinebob mention that?). Our lab/chow mix ( the one I just mentioned ) is Very sweet to folks once they come in, but he has a loud, deep bark which he uses for anyone walking up to the house. Pure Bred Chows can be awfully mean, though.

Of course, get anything as a puppy and if you have the time and inclination to train it, it will mold to your family. I've never known a case where that hasn't happened.

You have the benefit of not having young children, so if you do decide to get a larger, fiercer dog you don't have to worry.

I am rambling. What about a Doberman? They got such a bad rap in the 70's, but every one I've met is extremely sweet, but a guard dog. A Beagle? They bark and howl.

Is Seroquel an antipsychotic?
