Canine Collage by Yago Partal – Buffalo (Dog Days) – 750 pieces

Obviously I’m going to love this puzzle for many reasons – great brand, collage, dogs, blocks of color, etc. It was entertaining (or so says my draft folder from last year) and although it didn’t go together very quickly that doesn’t mean it wasn’t thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.

I think this is the first image by Yago Partal that I’ve done. At least it’s the first one where his name was featured on the box so that credit would be given. If there are any more puzzles like this out there they’ll definitely be on my wishlist.

This puzzle was very good quality; there was one piece slightly bent out of shape but otherwise it was an excellent puzzle.

LOVE this one! It reminds both Penny and I of Ruth Bader Ginsburg – anyone else see it or are we just weirdos?

There’s something about the light hitting this poor guy’s eyes – he looks so sad!

The Wolf of Wall Street! There’s something about this breed of dog, their faces are just too intense for me – it has to be the eyes.

The Writer’s Dogs – Buffalo – 750 pieces

Such a great image – it was wonderful to assemble! Of course you know I couldn’t resist the dogs, but the rest of the image was perfect for a great puzzle as well. The typewriter wasn’t as easy as you might think, and the flowers were their very own special challenge. All in all it was a charming puzzle that was challenging but entertaining.

Great Buffalo quality, of course. There were a few bent pieces but otherwise no problems at all. Excellent fit, great reproduction, good cutting, and the usual Buffalo piece shapes.

I love the detail on this painting in the background – clear as a bell!

I mean, how can you resist that face? I’m certain there are plenty of people out there who don’t care for animals, or dogs in particular – but I couldn’t resist that face. The dogs were the most difficult part of the image to assemble, fur can be quite a challenge. But saving them until the end meant I was more motivated to finish and so I kept at it.

Loved this puzzle!

The Writer’s Dogs – Buffalo (Dog Days) – 750 pieces

The majority of this adorable puzzle was done yesterday. I’ve figured out a schedule for working on my puzzles in peace (sort of). When hubby is taking a nap that’s when I sneak off to the puzzle room for some precious alone time; if he’s up and working – it’s Netflix time! After he goes to bed for the evening I stay up and work on posts or the blog in general; and if there’s time left over I can even get some extra puzzle time in. 😎

I seem to be quite sensitive to sounds these days and working on my puzzles while anyone is around talking, breathing, moving, or in any way making noise frazzles my nerves. We share the room, but it doesn’t seem as though we’re able to both be in here at the same time. Tag team, that’s the way to go.

The only things left to do now are the three pups. Lots of fur! It will be the most challenging part, but I’m not dreading it at all, I’m actually looking forward to it. And honestly even I’m shocked by that last sentence! Usually lots of animals with fur can be tedious, boring, difficult, and/or frustrating. That may be what happens next, but I’m confident I’ll be enjoying myself anyway.

I’m absolutely LOVING this puzzle. Easy to sort but not too easy to assemble, great quality, a wonderful image for puzzling – it’s just entertaining in every way. What more could a member of the puzzle posse ask for?
