Believe it or not Isis was my hardest - I had to use the internet for that because I am NOT up on mythology and when I was, I knew Greek not Egyptian.

In #1 I had that all the words were nouns BUT Reapper is a verb

[Jennie4PC]

congrats Becky

[jbachen]

I was stumped on #2, which is really dumb since I own a c*ck-a-poo, and was just the other day thinking if he had a baby with our neighbor's c*ck-a-poo, it could be a c*cker Spaniel or a Poodle. Duh! And I cannot believe I can't tell you what kind of dog I have on here! :)

[Becky0216]

Thanks. That was tough. This is my first contest, so I am shocked someone didn't nab it before me. I didn't see it up until almost 2pm.
I can say it took me 18 minutes but seemed like forever.
Hard- but fun too.!

That's because the rest of us won before. ;)

Congratulations - enjoy the prize. I'd trade mine for that but Greg wouldn't let me... :(
