If I abandon a stone mission to do another one, will I be able to go back to the abandoned mission later on, or am I cut off from that one entirely?

I understand that Littman is the most popular brand. But why? What makes a good stethoscope good? And what about those crystal stethoscopes? Those look nice.. but is it all cosmetic, or do thay have good quality? Okay, what I really want is a nice stethoscope that I can maybe personalize and that sounds good.. but is not ridiculously expensive.

I don't know about their past or their owner since I picked them up from a shelter, but my three 2 year old fuzzies randomly bite toes and arms. Sometimes it's a little painless nip and sometimes it bruises (hasn't broken skin... yet.) There's no way I can spray everyone in the room with "bitter apple" every time they come out to play. I've done the scruffing and the "NO!" and the time outs, but I'm afraid the bites are so few and far between that they don't get the message. Still... after one or two bites, no one wants to play with them, and it's easy to understand. I want to stop this so my friends and family won't hate my fuzzies! Any tips?

There are rarely ferrets at our local animal shelter, and I don't want to adopt from a pet store that supports puppy mills. (Right now I'm leaning towards a Petland in my area.) If I ask the store and they DO buy from mills, they will probably lie or skip around the question. Is there somewhere I can go on the internet to find out what pet store gets their puppies from mills?
