Fred Basset by Alex Graham for March 21, 2024

You be you Fred, let the cat chase the mice anyway! I constantly praise our Toy Fox Terrier because there are no foxes on our place…she is doing her Job! Just wish we had a Gopher Terrier!

Dear Fred, elephants only are afraid of mice because they can climb up their trunks and get into their brains. So I red. I can not tell if it is true or not. Anyway- it is ok if you are not fond of mice. Though I do hope you like my avatar and are not scared of it ;-)

(I am astound that Mr. Dear sais “surprised at you” and not “about you”. My gut feeling would go for “about you”)

As I remarked recently, it seems ironic that Fred can chase cats but runs from mice.

Been lucky, I haven’t run across a bear while walking the dogs. They’d think they could take it, it wouldn’t be pretty. Hopefully it would just run off.

Good comeback, Fred!

Another situation in which having a feline friend would come in handy

Have you herd of elephants?

Would love to see Mr Dear freak out around a spider or such after this, to Fred’s vindication.

You “DO” have …….. a point there …… Fred …. ;)

Are there many elephant herds in the Midlands?

I agree with fred

I remember once a mouse got loose during a school assembly. Within seconds there were about 200 girls, (and about 10 or 20 boys) standing on their chairs screaming. Up until then I thought it was just a cartoon stereotype, but it’s true.
