Hello friends! Have you heard about Fame(US) the winner of the 2018 Masters Agility Championship? She is fast, enthusiastic, lively and intelligent- just like us, right? Or at least how we want to be!

When I sat down to write this post, I had two ideas. I wanted to write a blog about the games I like to play on my iPad. And I also wanted to share Fame(US), pronounced “famous”, and also know as “Fame”, too. So, I’m going to tell you about both of these topics- and make it work!

Let’s start with Fame. She has been described as a “black and white blur”and a “streak”. Her trainer said, “It’s difficult to top her athletic behavior.” Watching her is really the only way to describe her- enjoy!

Agility is great for all kinds of dogs. High-energy dogs burn off energy and shy dogs gain confidence. And agility brings dogs and their humans closer.

Border Collies are awesome at agility. They’ve got the speed, motivation and intelligence. So, let’s unleash our inner border collie and compete and thrive each day!

A childhood favorite for me!

I love to watch sports and I have always been a keen game player. Monopoly, Scrabble, Risk, Euchre, Bridge- deal me in! But sometimes no one is gathered at the game table, so that’s when electronic games are fun entertainment. I prefer not to think of them as time-wasters. To me, these games keep me sharp and interested- so I can keep my inner Border Collie motivated. Here’s what I’m playing now. (pictures and or/game titles are clickable to computer links- use your app store for mobile versions!)

The Classic- Microsoft Solitaire Collection

Played at workplaces since May 22, 1990, you can still enjoy a few flips of the deck, with a collection that now gives you Klondike, Spider, Free Cell, Pyramid and Tri-Peaks, with several  difficulty levels PLUS daily challenges. My inner Border Collie thrives on each variation!

For a Modern Version of Solitaire- Try Flipflop Solitaire

Ready for a clean-looking, intuitive solitaire game that breaks all the rules? Here you go! You can play up And down and play up to five suits!

Do you like Numbers?  Here’s Sudoku 

WebSudoku is my favorite because its Evil level is really Evil! Sudoku isn’t fast to play like the solitaire games, but it’s quiet and tantalizing.

The Best Game Ever!

  Scrabble

The original crossword puzzle game is still the best, isn’t it! Especially if you mind your Qi’s and Za’s! Download Hasbro’s classic and you can play with friends, an online opponent, or by yourself against the computer, which is what I do! Here’s a screenshot of when I played SQUIRTS on the triple word play.

What are your favorites? Do you play by yourself or do you compete online?
