Absolutely adorable puzzle. Well done, David.

fasstar said it exactly right:
"Great puzzle, David. It has all the qualities that please most of the people here: good size B&W with lots of white space, solvable by logic alone without guessing, a bit of challenge but not too frustrating, and a very cool image."
#7: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Apr 8, 2010
Thank you all for the kind comments. Took several tweaks before I could solve by logic alone. I thought maybe the bottom was easy enough to draw people in quickly. Slow going in the middle and then picks back up at the end before too much frustration sets in ;)

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Really tough to get through after the bottom part, I saved and left it for a long time, but finally completed it. Excellent image!

#32: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Sep 24, 2017
Love that this was in my saved puzzle folder and that it was your first puzzle. Finally finished it; have to say it was a toughie for me but was well worth the effort.
#33: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 25, 2017
thank you BC and carol :) very glad it was worth the effort :)

David, if you are still looking at comments, I wanted to add mine. I really enjoyed this puzzle after the easy part was solved. While I was solving the lower part, I couldn’t understand why it was rated hard. I soon found out! I think the ones on the edges really threw me and had stumped me for a long time. I liked the way that was incorporated into the puzzle, which I had never seen before. So, good job and excellent puzzle and I will look for more.
#35: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Feb 7, 2018
i AM still reading comments and appreciate your feedback! if you look for more of mine you'll see I'm pretty hit or miss lol
#36: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 7, 2018
