stuck in a couple of places...

how about a B?

This will surely unstick you!


This cat was so sweet and undemanding that I ended up e-changing one -a-se notion
about cats -or another. Instead o- sharing my parents' be-ie- that cats were troub-e,
I decided that they were hard-y anything at a--, -ust purring p-ush toys that wanted
to be petted. E-en the dog seemed more intriguing. It ne-er occurred to me
that on-y a person who was du--er than a s-eeping dog wou-d ma-e such a mista-e about
a cat.

So, any guesses, anyone?

mrspunkysmom got it! She agreed to do the next puzzle! And Pinot's mom guessed it right, too! It was:

This cat was so sweet and undemanding that I ended up exchanging one false notion
about cats for another. Instead of sharing my parents' belief that cats were trouble,
I decided that they were hardly anything at all, just purring plush toys that wanted
to be petted. Even the dog seemed more intriguing. It never occurred to me
that only a person who was duller than a sleeping dog would make such a mistake about
a cat.
