Karen guessed the puzzle correctly, it was:

Money will buy you a pretty good dog,
but it won't buy the wag of his tail.
~ Henry Wheeler Shaw

She would like to pass hosting of Puzzle 98 to the next highest scorer, but there are four people, including Karen, in a tie for the highest points.
~ zippy-kat
~ ShepherdLover
~ Karen
~ delidog

The rules do not say what to do in the event of a tie. Karen will have to decide in this case, who will host the next puzzle.

Well, zippy-kat did the last one, so that makes it ShepherdLover for the most letters, which I used for my tie-breaker.

So what say you, ShepherdLover - will you do it?
