He got what every dog wants—acknowledgement and love.

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled: “Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?”

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing MatildaYou’ll come a-waltzing Matilda, with meAnd he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:“You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me.”

I spent the Christmas holidays (seven) of 1987 in Perth Australia courtesy of the United States Navy. I very much enjoyed it. I was the guest at the home of the Senior Perth Police liaison Officer to the USS Carl Vinson’s Shore Patrol.

Looks like Fred has made a new friend!

You can’t help but make friends with a Basset.
