Puzzle 195
Are you ready for a new puzzle? Enjoy!

To newcomers: Read the rules before you join,please!

Here are the rules:
1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post it on the forum If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.


And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not
care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

Here is the puzzle:

If he had de-e-o-e- the habit of hunting and foraging for hi-se-f, he wou-dn't ha-e fe-t so he---ess now.

He had grown into a sof- , ci-i-iced creature, a thin-ing dog instead of an ath-etic dog, and as far bac- as he cou-d re-e-ber his bodi-- needs had been ta-en care of so-eone e-se.

AMBERLEE, there's an update for you ;)

If he had de-elo-ed the habit of hunting and foraging for hi-self, he wouldn't ha-e felt so hel-less now. But he had s-ent too -an- -ears at Will-'s side, -noc-ing around the world in his role as confident and *chien a tout a faire* , and whate-er lu-ine instincs he had been born with had long since atro-hied and disa--eared.

If he had de-eloped the habit of hunting and foraging for hi-self, he wouldn't ha-e felt so helpless now. But he had spent too -an- -ears at Will-'s side, -noc-ing around the world in his role as confident and *chien a tout a faire* , and whate-er lupine instincs he had been born with had long since atrophied and disappeared. He had grown into a sof- , ci-iliced creature, a thin-ing dog instead of an athletic dog, and as far bac- as he could re-e-ber his bodil- needs had been ta-en care of so-eone else.

[Randi]

V for me please :)

[koxka]

Sorry Randi, Uabasson has just send the correct guess.
There is:

If he had developed the habit of hunting and foraging for himself, he wouldn't have felt so helpless now. But he had spent too many years at Willy's side, knocking around the world in his role as confident and * chien a tout a faire* , and whatever lupine instincts he had been born with had long since atrophied and disappeared. He had grown into a soft , civilized creature, a thinking dog instead of an athletic dog, and as far back as he could remember his bodily needs had been taken care of someone else. But that was the bargain, wasn't it?
