Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 22, 2025

Poor you. And it works the other way too.

Every dog and every person has their best season. Mine is fall. Cooler days and nights. Spring can be okay also. Not a fan of summer. Heat and I are not on friendly terms at all. Winter. If it’s mild – okay.

I like Spring best. The weather is mild and invigorating!

and that is a fact

With the direction the wind is blowing, Fred, I would use ‘old Sheps’ good nature and sit on the other side and have him block the wind ! ! ! !

A “heat wave” in the UK is around 25c-28c. LOLOLOLOL That is a cold front here in North Texas!

Is Shep any relation to Toby?

Spring is a refreshing green and tiny flowers popping up … a refreshing of Mother Earth, especially in the North. Time to shed that Winter coat and seek out our shorts and T-shirts.

Why drag a poor dog out in bad weather only to leave him tied up outside the shops?

Crazy weather. Ten inches of snow in New Orleans. Even have snow in some parts of Florida. Thankfully my area of Florida just missed it, but its miserable cold and rainy. Not like January’s used to be. Second consecutive January the weather is colder and wetter than what used to be considered normal.

You and Shep ought to snuggle in together; he won’t mind and you’ll stay a good bit warmer.

I like Shep’s grin in the last panel.

Heh, heh!

You have heard of the Wooly Mammoth and the Wooly Rhinoceros, now we give you the Wooly Dog.

Fred …… I’d sit on the other side of him …… a great windbreaker ….. just a suggestion ……. :)

Every dog has his day Fred!
