Fred Basset by Alex Graham for May 15, 2023

with your short legs Fred you better stick to the mini

You try so hard in every race, but alas, you just weren’t built for the long haul. Not your fault. You should be proud, though. You are an athlete what with the hiking with the Dears, playing all the various sports with Tucker twins, and all the long rambles with the lads. Good going, Fred.

You’ll be tired tonight. Look forward to an evening in front of the fire……

Face it Fred. You’re not built for racing.

If this were the U.S., they’d put that dog on a leash and tie him to a pole!

Aww Fred, you are always welcome to try anything you want to do!

Fred remember you are built for walking not running … go at your speed not the others :-)

Short legs, large body mass…just be glad that you’re able to stand, much less run.

Low slung cars are built for racing, Doggies, not so much.

Fred, such a joiner.

Bassets aren’t built for speed.

And yet he always tries!! If he finishes—he’s a winner!

Go Fred …… it’s the effort that counts … :)

What Fred lacks in aerodynamics he makes up for in courage.

You do your best Fred at least you try

At least you are willing to give it a try

There are a lot of different ages and sizes of kids participating! It’s nice to have a dog like Fred join the group, to the extent that he is able, lol.
