Fred Basset by Alex Graham for October 06, 2020

Ah yes! Those big brown sad basset eyes just begging for a treat. You know how to work them, Fred. It looks like Dear might just give you a tiny morsel. However, too many treats can make too much Fred.

All breeds of dogs have that sad face when they want something.

Might have chocolate in them, so Dear is right….

Fred did you take lessons from our dog ? Your style looks like her style ;-)

Dogs can’t tell the difference between a tiny bit and a whole big chunk. They want more no matter what you give. Kind of like donating to any cause.

One tiny little wafer.

Well, maybe some crumbs

Fred, go around to the side of that table and help yourself. It would serve him right.

Yes size does not matter, just a crumb is big to a dog.

OH! BAD doggy manners!!!!

One of my wife’s family’s dachshunds was supposed to chew her bones in the garage, not the house. One day she brought three in in her mouth and looked at my m-i-l. “No.” Gretchy set one of them down. “No.” Another one. “No.”

That’s the “nobody loves me, nobody feeds me” look! I work at a bank and I get that look all the time at the drive-up window. Every dog that shows up knows what’s coming.

Fred will wear him down.
