Fred Basset by Alex Graham for October 24, 2023

that is a wonderful reception Fred!

That is the best greeting anyone can ever receive. Puppy love is in a special category all by itself. It warms you all over.

Smooth and powerful, Fred! You’re the best.

As long as the run-up and launch was not through a puddle or mud.

He’s too big of a dog to be doing that.

Looks to have been quite startling to Mr. Dear ! ! ! !

Aww, Fred missed you so much he had to jump into your arms. Sweet!

I didn’t know you had it in you, Fred. Yet more unconditional love. Lovely to see…..

Fred loves his people, that’s for sure!

I had no idea he could jump like that. Bravo, Fred!

It’s the kind of reception my wife gets from the mutts.

Next panel: Mr Dear flat on his back, Fred on top of him giving him kisses

So cute. Too bad he’s hard to hold!

I like this one!!

Bassets are VERY heavy dog.

I adopted a one year old pound puppy in April 2018. The first year of her life was terribly harsh, both physically and mentally. It was nearly a year later before she greeted me that way as I came in the door. She is much improved now, but even today she still has nightmares from PTSD.

Mr Dear was not ready for that!

Conan greeted me with that same sort of flying tackle; at 80 pounds, it was no joke and came close to sending me flying more than once. A few hits and I decided we needed some obedience training so that he knew how to say “Hello” with his feet on the ground!

Mr Dear is lucky that fread is so loving

I am liking this early Fred
