Do you love dogs and jigsaw puzzles

12 years ago

I enjoyed doing this 500 piece puzzle so much. 75 dogs...thats 150 eyes to find! It is made by ART puzzles. Normally I only 'puzzle' during cold weather, but I couldn't wait to start on this one.

What a challenge! How long did it take you? Does the box tell you the name of each breed?

Nice job!

I have a diagonal bias pinwheel pattern going into my sunroom on the new house as I write this that has 12x12 field tiles in white and 3x3 blue tiles for the accents. It is a really tricky pattern and a lesson in geometry. If I were you I'd politely ask the tile guy "how much do I owe you for the work already done" and then go hire somebody else. But that's me. You need to be happy with what you're getting done. Uneven grout lines or bad cuts are not part of a tile job IMO. When I order tile for a complicated pattern I figure at least 15% waste overage, not the standard 10%. When I had my sunroom on the current house done that tile shop only did 10% overage it too had a pinwheel pattern and the tile setter guy ran out of tile only a few pieces short of the field tile. The shop had to overnight the tile from Texas and they ate $100 worth of freight charges for one stinkin box of tile. I payed for the tile but they payed for the freight - they offered w/o me even asking. I would go to a tile shop in your local area. I tend to not trust HD and Lowes for my contracting stuff. But that's only IMO. But I've been lucky and I have a great GC and his subs have so far been great. I know I may come off harsh, but something my BF keeps reminding me is "you are the customer". I hate confrontation as much as the next person, but I try to do it in the politest terms and move on... Easy to say, hard to do. Good luck. Cheers, --jans

I order a lot of puzzles from Bits and Pieces Catalog. I order as many as 10 at a time and have them sent directly to my very limited income sister-in-law 2 states away. When she is done with them, I pick them up and do them. When I am done I pass them to a neighbor. When she is done, she donates them to the VA hospital. Another very good source is White Mountain Puzzles. Check out the link. Here is a link that might be useful: White Mountain Puzzles

Socks, this is a 500 piece puzzle. I rarely do any more than 750 piece puzzles as I am unable to sit for long periods at a table. I work a puzzle on a 26 x 30 styrofoam board that rests on the arms of my glide rocking chair. So finished puzzle size has to be considered when I buy one. I have 2 of those boards and sometimes have 2 puzzles going at once. Having 2 boards would make it possible to turn one of those 2 sided puzzles over onto the 2nd board, but that would be cheating. lol

I see a Besenji!!! I met one a number of years ago and have been fascinated with them.

One of my favourites is the Bernese Mountain dog and he's there too. I love that puzzle gazania!

I've got one that's all cats and it's the World's Impossible brand....the picture is printed on both sides of the pieces. Very very hard, but oh so gratifying when it's done. One side is turned 90 degrees.

I see the little Wire Hair Fox Terrier. Just like my little WHFT mix that went over the rainbow bridge Monday. :(

That would be a fun puzzle. My Mom used to do puzzles I wonder if she'd appreciate one like this.

When I read the title of the post, my first thought was, "Yes to both, but they don't mix".

I was expecting a teeny rant about a dog chewing up a few puzzle pieces, LOL.

Nice job and it looks like a fun puzzle.

Love jigsaw puzzles. I see a Wheaton just like my friend's dog and a Lab like mine. I usually do puzzles in the winter too but I have been itching to do one.

Socks, I have never kept track of the time spent on a puzzle. If I did, I would probably feel so guilty that I would ban them from the house.

Jasdip, I love a challenging jigsaw puzzle, but there is no way that I would start on one of those doublesided ones. Yesterday afternoon at Barnes and Noble I saw some. I didn't want to tempt myself and quickly exited the store.

Sunshines, my sister has dibs on this puzzle next. After that I will add it to a box of puzzles that will be donated to the local VA Hospital. They really appreciate them there.

I do my jigsaw puzzles on the computer. That way I'm not searching for puzzle pieces since my cat likes to bat them off the table and they disappear.
