sorry, guys....after scanning through the old puzzles to make sure this hasn't been used, i made the mistake of taking a quick break to the couch!!! that was all she wrote...i fell asleep...
so i'll put the puzzle up now....this could be sunday entertainment!!!!

Here are the rules (Please pay attention to Rule #9):

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 10 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 10, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. Of course, someone else has to guess before you can go again.
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:

--- ----,---- --- -----,--- -----------.
