Puzzle 300

To newcomers: Read the rules before you join, please and be prepared to host the next if you win!

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 Private message. (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 misses, 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 - puzzle #301!

(Should you win the game and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Note: I am substituting the character ~ 'tilda' where dashes '-' are in the text of this puzzle to reduce confusion...

Here is the puzzle:

Your guess is perfect, but you submitted it before you requested a letter which violates rule 7 of the game. Therefore you are disqualified from participating in the rest of this game. It will soon be over and you can participate in any upcoming games. For fairness sake, I need to hold you to the same rules everyone else is held to.

He was very fond of animals and kept many kinds of pets. Besides the goldfish in the pond at the bottom of his garden, he had rabbits in the pantry, white mice in his piano, a squirrel in the linen closet, and a hedgehog in the cellar. He had a cow with a calf too and an old lame horse ~~ twenty~five years of age ~~ and chickens and pigeons and two lambs and many other animals. But his favorite pets were Dab~Dab, the duck; Jip, the dog; Gub~Gub, the baby pig; Polynesia, the parrot; and the owl, Too~Too.

Molucass, as high scorer, has the option of hosting the next puzzle -- however she's posted that she plans to be away from the computer for the next week or so. Randi, are you up for hosting the next puzzle?
