The Jig Is Up
Another week has flown by and we’ve come round to Game Night again here on at the Peeps. Welcome!
The middle of the week is usually designated Woozle Wednesdays in this corner of the DKOS universe. Woozles love certain kinds of interactive problem-solving puzzles. Dogs excell at brain teasers, the kind for which the pooties simply have no patience.
However, tonight we are talking about jigsaw puzzles. And there is just no getting around it (or over it or under it), jigsaw puzzles are a decidedly pootie milieu. The pooties excel at those classic jigsaws. Why? All those tempting pieces just waiting to be played with, of course. Plus, the potential for disrupting human activity is irresistible. Besides, cats really are like those complicated 10,000 piece jigsaws — just when you think you have pooties all figured out, you realize you are missing a piece of the puzzle.
So, let’s solve this puzzle. But first let’s review the Peeps Rulz as provided for by the Management.
- Do not “Troll” the Pootie Peeps Diaries. If you don’t like animal diaries, there’s no need to tell us about it. Just go find some other diary more to your liking.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly. So, no pie fights please.
- If you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- There are some pics we never post: 1) snakes and creepy crawlies (some folks have phobias). 2) Any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals, even in jest, are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
- If you’re not sure about an issue...please ask. Someone is always glad to help.
- Links to the Community Needs List or other fundraising diaries are always welcome here. Just links with a short explanation, please, and not the entire fundraising request, per the management.
PWBPeeps posts two diaries a day for animal lovers: a daytime diary at 1:45 pm Eastern and a nightly open thread at 10 pm Eastern. We concoct silly stories, share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.
You are welcome to join us! Be kind to one another, we’re all in this together.
This is an open thread. Play commence below the fold.

You Just Know She’s Going to Blame that little DOG!
Looks like it’s going to be a long night, especially if the little dog has to clean up that mess all by himself. Better take a quick refreshing nap until order is restored.
The conversation is now open.
