Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 19, 2025

You need to get inside in front of the fire with a juicy bone to chew on.

As the old saying goes, every dog has his day, or in this case, every dog has his season. And seriously, why aren’t you at home snuggling down in Dear’s comfy chair in front of the fire? I would be.

Fred, you need a sweater when you’re outside. Dogs with less fur get colder faster, especially their belly. I have a Sheltie even with her undercoat being thick, and when I walk her in the cold air I usually put her harness on to keep her a bit more comfortable.

Fred time to Hunker Down in the Bunker ;-)

Don’t be sitting in the snow Fred, you’ll freeze your tail off!!!

Toby’s as shaggy as a yak!

You need a cute sweater Fred

I did not trim my poodle last fall. It is 5F and he is appropriately dressed for the weather and he is glad that I didn’t shave his rear end bare.

I wonder where they are going in that nasty weather?

Fred, why are you out alone in such weather? You need to get home right away. (Your fans worry about you, you know.)

Tot for tat! (replace the o with an I and you’ll get my “offensive” post).

Fred where is your coat

Eh…our basset hound used to sit on top of a ten foot tall pile of snow at the end of the driveway and spend the day surveying her domain.
