Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 21, 2023

poor Fred, you would have been the life of the party!

Is there a fire with no human home?

I don’t know, Fred. Very short sighted of them. You would have definitely made a dull run of the mill cocktail party far more interesting. You would have been the star.

Because dogs don’t drink cocktails?

Aw, Fred, those horoscopes aren’t real. It’s probably the dullest party ever, and with no sausages.

No dogs are allowed at a social event Fred. You’d be underfoot.

A fireguard would have been nice……..

Fred just enjoy the moment of being in a big chair in front of the fireplace :-)

Awe, poor Fred! But don’t you feel safe at home?

They will bring you back treats, Fred.

Fred, you don’t like alcohol!

Time to curl up for a nice cozy nap in front of the fire. Dream about the sausages or other treats they will bring home for you

Good question, Fred! Yet they left the fire burning to comfort you well enough in their absence!

Good question, Fred – yet they left the fire burning to comfort you well enough through their absence!!

Well, on the bright side, you have a toasty warm fire and the comfy chairs to yourself.

Fred …… guess you’ll just have to make the best of it ….. :)

Maybe the fire is low and will burn out Fred you are warmer at home on your comfy chair

Trust me, Fred. It is much nicer where you are!

Geez Fred, I thought you were more sensible than paying attention to astrology nonsense.
