Fred Basset by Alex Graham for February 06, 2023

Better wake up mom, dad is failing Fred!

Hmmm! He’s definitely falling down on the job. However a loud ROOF! and a shove of your bowl should get his attention.

Forgot someone!

Here’s a how-to video for you, Fred:

Fred best to wait for the coffee to kick in ;-)

A healthy dog should get only one meal a day.

Looks like Mrs Dear is still sleeping and the Mr. may as well be

Time to give Mr. Dear’s chair a nice hearty nudge, Fred. He’s falling asleep on the job.

Oh Dear!

Why do I think the thought balloon ain’t gonna quite work?

Poor Fred. Which reminds me, I’d better fill the cats’ food dish!

The first thing that I always did was fill the dog dish(es) …… :)

Hello? Mr. Dear? This bowl’s not going to fill itself!!

Better bark to letr Dear you want yourbreakfast

Unleash the foghorn of discontent, Fred. That’ll wake him and your neighbors up right quickly.

A gentle nudge with the nose, perhaps, or pick the bowl up and then drop it.

My four get theirs’ before I get my coffee, otherwise I wouldn’t get my coffee.

I carefully trained hubby not to give the dogs a treat until we had been out of bed for at least 15 minutes. That way, they would not wake us up wanting a treat and breakfast. It worked pretty well except when we dog-sat for our friends, whose toy poodle was full of energy and appetite far more than our dachshunds!
