Fred (Victorville)

Fred came to us as we were looking for a buddy for Wally who is also a GGBR dog [formerly known as Ulysses.] Wally, who loves all dogs and Fred are a good match. Fred was a bit timid in the beginning and wanted to be around people ALL the time. He still loves to follow us around the house but seems a bit more comfortable when Wally is nearby. Fred and Wally are both super sweet dogs. He and Wally play hard every morning, zooming around the back yard and stopping for the occasional squirrel sighting. They sleep a good part of the day whether it be inside on the couch or basking in the sun outside and then round two begins in the evening, always being instigated by Wally! Fred is super speedy, definitely the fastest and most athletic of all our 7 previous bassets. Wally tries to keep up with Fred and sometimes cuts him off at the pass or hides behind a bush. They are relentless when it comes to playing and we sometimes stop them because they don't know when to stop!! Fred loves his toys and often races back and forth down the hallway tossing his stuffed toy in the air. Wally and Fred like to play tug a war and they are both SOOO strong. When they settle down at night, they are snuggled on either side of me on the couch, Fred usually on my lap. I call him my weighted blanket! They both bring us so much joy and comedy in our lives.---Louise T., 14Feb2024. (Fred, adopted 28April2023.)
