Fred Basset by Alex Graham for July 21, 2023

Low riders definitely have a harder time of it than others that are taller. And tallers don’t take that into consideration. The day must’ve improved. The wind has died down and it’s bound to be warmer. Have fun Fred.

I bet you are a great swimmer though Fred!

Shame there are no dates on these….

Do they make snorkels for Basset Hounds?

You’re a good boy Fred.

Our basset was a great swimmer. Biggest problem with taking her on a canoe ride was that she would constantly jump out and swim.

Fred you need in Union Jack on your tail when swimming ;-)

A sea dog!

How cute that Mr. Dear, with his frozen feet, is inviting poor Fred to join him! Poooor Fred!

You OK, Fred?

Fred has always been a splendid swimmer despite his imperfection – amen!!

This isn’t the best example, but In reading these repeats, it seems Fred was a bit more sarcastic back then. That’s probably not the right word, but he had a slightly different tone. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation.

C’mon Fred, my little aussiedoodle has shorter legs than yours, and she swims like a fish (using her tail as a propeller, no less).

Don’t worry Fred bet you are a great dog paddler

Good Fred ……. That’s far enough …… don’t want you caught in a undertow … :)

As opposed to a high slung basset?
