The jigsaw is coming together in swirls of pink, purple, and blue, and Frank and Dottie are bent over it with total concentration. They sit side by side at the worn wooden kitchen table in their cream sweaters, Dottie resting her chin on her arm as she studies the gaps and Frank peering through his glasses for the next match. On the chair at the end of the table sits Biscuit, upright and dignified, gazing at the puzzle with an expression that suggests he has opinions about where the next piece goes. A bowl of loose pieces, a set of keys, a glass jar, fruit, and a dish towel on the cabinet complete the homey kitchen.

Jigsaw puzzles are a favorite pastime for many older adults, offering a calm, absorbing activity that can be enjoyed alone or together. Dogs can benefit from brain games too. Puzzle toys that hide kibble, snuffle mats, and short training sessions give clever breeds like Corgis a mental workout, which can help with restlessness and boredom. One tip for puzzle lovers with pets: keep stray pieces off the floor, since a curious dog may chew or swallow them. A dog sitting on a chair should also have a stable seat and an easy way down, especially a short-legged, long-backed breed.

Biscuit may never place a single piece, but he's a loyal member of the team. Frank and Dottie seem glad to have his company at the table.
