Fred Basset by Alex Graham for June 15, 2023

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Gred and we all think you are beautiful!

Who are you measuring your looks by, Fred? Bassets are beyond handsome!

Yes you are, Fred. Just listen to all of us around you. You’re very handsome.

You’re kind of average for a hound.

Yes you are. And don’t listen to detractors……

I’m relieved that my first idea of what had shocked Fred was wrong. I thought that he had seen the Grosvenor Avenue Gang coming to attack him yet again.

Oh yes you are! You’re as handsome as we think and we think you’re beautiful Fred.

Fred you are so adorable!

Fred perhaps the reflection is distorted ;-) Chin Up Old Boy !

" I do not look good naked any more."

I don’t even look anymore.

Don’t worry Fred, we all find that out at some time in our lives.

“on the contrary, I didn’t think I looked THIS” good.” —- Pig Pen in “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

LOL! Most of us humans have had shocking moments like that too Fred. At least you don’t have the humbling experience of trying to take a flattering selfie, which in my opinion, are best left to the young.

Then you’re not thinking hard enough, Fred. Or maybe you’re over thinking it.

You are a very handsome boy, Fred.

Nobody is (Sigh)

“Everything is beautiful in its own way…”

Yes you are!!

That’s not a true picture, Fred; look inside and you are a lovely soul.

Fred ………. of course your handsome …… it’s just the glass, distorts your image ….. :)

Fred you are very handsome

Yes you are. For a dog you are quite cute.
