Fred Basset by Alex Graham for August 16, 2021

She’s trying to find your ribs, Fred. No ribs? No sausages, and low-calorie dog food.

Uh-oh Fred could be diet time.

Maybe play outside today Fred…you could use some color!

Fred looks like you have a future of less Yummie for the Tummie ;-(

Just as well most of the sausages you get are pinched….

Sorry Fred; most of us can sympathize with you, as we have also had those uncomfortable moments of realization.

Look on the bright side – you may get longer walks with Mr. Dear to help work off some of the excess.

A little plump is good as long as he is happy.

Put #3 mutt on a diet and it was working until it got hot. All three mutts are less active, but the other two have been skipping meals; not Hungry Harvey!

Uh oh, Fred goes on a diet!

Next time Yorkie goes on a sausage run, maybe excuse yourself Fred.

Fred looks pleasingly plump to me!

Nope! Perfect shape for a basset!

Well, they’re the ones who feed him. ( except for stolen sausages)

Fred is pleasently pluml

@ 406 years of age, I don’t think Fred Basset needs to worry about a little extra weight!
