So... this puzzle arrived LAST March, and at some point in that general time frame my wife Cindy began struggling with MC Escher's most maddening self-portrait. Here we are, a mere year or so later, and it's finally complete. Except... for one missing piece (lower left corner),
2) because we have one cat who sees jigsaw puzzles as her personal challenge to order and stability.

In an effort to track down the missing piece, I moved a china hutch my sister Karen gave us, fully loaded with glassware and liquor bottles. Sliding a heavy (at least 900 pounds)
3) cabinet across an uneven tile floor resulted in me having to go to the garage for a utility dolly... all in an effort to find the missing piece to the Escher masterpiece.

My back hurts, I broke one slat of our custom made window blinds, and found four elastic hair bands,
4) a couple of metal bread loaf ties, and a plastic straw under said cabinet. Then, TA-DA! I found a missing puzzle piece. Except... it wasn't from THIS puzzle, but one we had already Mod-Podged a year ago.

(one last time...)
5) Grrrrrrrrr.... f'n cat!

Anyway, the box says this should take 11 years to adult, and Cindy managed to do it in only one. So there's that.
