Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 07, 2025

I could be wrong, Fred, but I don’t think so, but you do the same thing to him when he’s gotten all comfy in his chair and is starting to read the paper. Then you appear in front of him with your leash in your mouth. Most of the time, he gives in and takes you out. Your turn now.

Grumpy Guts today, Fred.

My dog wants to go out the minute I sit to eat dinner or lunch.

You have to walk, Fred. Its healthy for you.

It’s better to be taken out when you don’t really have to go than to not be taken out when you really need to! You know that, Fred! Besides the fire will still be there when you get home.

It’s for your health, Fred! He loves you, even though he’s often grouchy!

Says the dog that takes 20 naps a day.

That fire will feel even better when you get back from your walkie

I had a dog who was always eager for a walk, no matter the weather. He would have gone out at midnight in a blizzard.

You’ll appreciate it all the more afterwards!

Mr Dear could say the same about Fred
