Puzzle 188

[Cincy'sMom]

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.

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 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. (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)

popcornbird your last guess was the 5th one, so no more letter guesses until we get another update. :(

[Cincy'sMom]

Popcornbird, L's were already guessed by Randi.

Here is the puzzle:
Because they are so gregariously sociable, and because they consider us to be
their -ack leaders, dogs cra-e our attention.
Being touched is soothing and reassuring for dogs, -ust as it is for us.
Stroking your dog reduces its blood -ressure, its heart rate, and its skin
tem-erature.
It calms its sense of arousal. De-endent dogs demand attention most, but e-en
dominant, aggresi-e canines socilit attention from a strong human leader.

I am sorry I missed it. Unfortunatly it happens sometimes :) Since I know I don't always get it right, when others are hosting, I try not only to look at the letter left to guess, but also, what is in the puzzle, in case something was missed. Sorry about the mistake.

Rottieluver has sent a correct guess!! Will you host the next puzzle?

I want to apoligize for the mistakes I made in this puzzle. i had letters reversed in words and forgot at times to remove letters, making it more difficult. I think in the future I will keep the puzzles a little shorter so maybe it won't happen. Thanks for hanging in with me!

The solution:
Because they are so gregariously sociable, and because they consider us to be
their pack leaders, dogs crave our attention.
Being touched is soothing and reassuring for dogs, just as it is for us.
Stroking your dog reduces its blood pressure, its heart rate, and its skin
temperature.
It calms its sense of arousal. Dependent dogs demand attention most, but even
dominant, aggresive canines solicit attention from a strong human leader.
