Fred Basset by Alex Graham for June 01, 2022

Tough call Fred! Maybe save a few barks for the park? Too bad he can’t hear your thoughts like we all can!

Tough assignment. A dog just naturally has to bark at noises, strange sounds and sometimes the wind.

A dog’s gotta do what a dogs gotta do.

Would you prefer he meowed?

Mr Dear you have a “Fred” system … Not a “Ring” system !

Then don’t leave him outside. If you can’t stand it, what about the neighbors?

That a.boy fred

Fred’s doing his version of the catchy theme song from the 20 five-minute episodes of the 1976 BBC cartoon tv series, “Fred Basset.” : )

When my dog started barking at nothing, I would ask him if Timmy was stuck down the well again and send him out into the back yard.

Our 16-year old Maggie doesn’t hear anything anymore and doesn’t see well so now there isn’t anything or anyone that needs to be barked at. Just a YIP when we’re slow with her after-walk treat.

I have a delivery route. There are quite a few dogs that bark, and often their owners tell them to stop. That makes me laugh. Dogs are supposed to bark. If you don’t like barking, get a cat! Or a basenji.
