Fred Basset by Alex Graham for August 22, 2021

Well Fred, you can wait til it comes down. Maybe play a joke on Mr Dear and leave a little something in his right slipper…

Funny how some things can wear thin very quickly. If you decide that ball is more pain than pleasure, perhaps it can be “misplaced”. Good luck.

Fred do not give chase . Wait until the ball stops . Dig hole ,pick up the ball , bury ball .

I’m sure Jock or Yorkie would love that ball, in exchange for a few sausages of course…..

I think the idea is for the novelty to wear Fred thin. Mr and Mrs Dear both said this week that they suspect he is gaining weight.

That ball needs to get lost!

Ah yes……shorts, socks and sandals. All part of growing up and being British.

Stop tormenting Fred.

Good ole Super Balls. They were really fun to bounce around. And they still make them!

Remember Superballs? Great fun, but not resistant to dog teeth.

Trying to get a basset to jump for a ball is cruel. While no dog should bite a human, a little ankle nibble would be understandable!

Wait until winter Fred, when they throw snowballs for you to try to catch. No dog can figure out where those land!
