Fred Basset by Alex Graham for March 07, 2024

don’t be jealous Fred, your mum is just being polite!

Greens eyed jealousy, they name is Fred.

All dogs are jealous of one another, just like humans.

Oh Fred, this dog seems to be of a nice personality. That counts more than good looks. You should know, you are no puppy anymore. You could have made friends with him.

Awww, what a…ummm…beautiful…er…sweet…ahh…personality your dog has!!! I have met a few truly ugly dogs in my life, but, one can always find some way to compliment them. Sometimes, just saying “Wow. Impressive beastie!” can make the owner glow with happiness.

Fred does not need competition!

Feisty Fred, he’s no threat to your Mum or you.

Jealousy rears its ugly head!

So here’s a curious one. How is it that this dog isn’t reacting to Fred’s insults? Surely he can hear him.

I haven’t heard the term “bandy legs” since our Music teacher back in high school (circa 1958).

Jealousy, thy name is FRED!

Personally, I think your mistress is right – he is a handsome beast.

Adorbs!

Fred don’t be so jealous

“Running to fat” a British term?
