Hello, Fred, handsome California fellow! I became the "auntie" to a dear friend's Basset about a year ago and everything in your bio reminds me of her! Your gentle spirit, your role as a lap dog, your wonderful flowing eyes and gently turned-out feeties! You are a very special guy! Big hugs to you today, sweet brown-eyed Fred! (Just like with my friend's dog- one look from those gentle Basset eyes and I'll be happy to do whatever you might like me to! Happy Dog of the Day to you!
