BUTCHY & LACIE'S PICK A NICK DATE

Hey Pals,
Gertie the Spy here again today.

Boy am I tuckered out from the pick a nick date yesterday. Riding inside of that picnic basket was no piece of cake! Several times that stoopid lid fell down & smacked me up side the head, ouchhhhh.

Once we arrived at the Backbone State Park, Lacie picked out this very nice spot to set up the bankie for the pick a nick lunch.


Then everyone decided to go on the hike first & go up the Devil's Backbone. Now I was really in trouble. I had to fess up to Snickers that I was there & what I was doing & convince her to let me ride on her back, hiding under her wirey fur. She finally agreed.

First we hiked around on the trails in the deep forest:



Then we started up the trail onto the Devil's Backbone...

Can you see how high up we are??? I was scared to look down...

Here is another view of the creek way below where we were...


Whew, I was glad when the hike was over. Next it was time to swim in the nice cool trout stream. Here is Lacie in her pink bikini:


Butchy flew into the creek & right away had to fetch a nice big stick just for Lacie....


Snickers had to roach in the sand of course. She told me it's very therapeutic.


So then Lacie & Snickers had Butchy bury them under the sand in the shallow part of the stream, hehehehe! All that was sticking out was their wet heads!!


Here is the lovely wet couple, don't they look like they were made for each other??? Butchy can hardly believe that he found a girl that likes to swim like he does...


They sure had a great time swimming & diving down under the water to catch sticks & baby trout. Hmmmmm, must have made them hungry cause then we headed back to the pick a nick spot.

Wonder what's in that big bowl??? Oh yummy, wallymelon!


Treats from Three Dog Bakery...


Awwwwwh, look at the cute couple... Can you believe that Lacie hasn't even snapped at Butchy??? Now why did they keep teasing Butchy about 'Silence Of The Lambs'????


Here they are sharing some wallymelon.....


Such a pawfect pick a nick. Butchy was so sad to see it end. Specially since he knows that Lacie has some other dates lined up for next week. He is totally bummed out cause he had such a great time with Lacie.

Inquiring doggies want to know......

Will Lacie go out with Butchy again??

Will she dump her other dates for Butchy??

Will she give Butchy a kiss without biting his face off??

Will they become the newest dog couple in the blogging world??

Only her hairdresser knows for sure!!!

This is Gertie, CIA Wheely Operative, end of report.

Wheely Hugs,
Gertie

I sure hope that Butchy doesn't get it widdle heart broken. Lacie is my diva gal-pal but she has a wild heart!

Eric said...

Gertie, You are an ACE reporter. Butchy and Lacie looked like they had a terrierific time together.And Miss Snickers he,he with her sandbath,a girl after my own tastes! But yikees, I was scared when Lacie and Snickers had just their heads popping up from the water! The pick i nic looked dogalicious, especailly the treats from the 3 dog bakery. Mom has their cookery book to bake a treat or ten for me!

But Gertie - can you possibly do a bit of spying when Lacie next goes to the hairdressers cos I do want to know the answers to those questions.....!!!

Wiry wags, Eric x

gertie, thank you for keeping an eye on those two on their date. It looks like they had a wonderful time and both were quite polite to each other. I think they had a great time.

Oh Butchy...B L U S H!!!!

Oh my...what a lovely Pick A Nick we had...and the swimming was fabulous! Thank you ever so much for the date...I'd...BLUSH BLUSH...love to go out with you again! It was sorta hard to chew the foodie with the mandatory mouthgard that my brothers CEMENTED into my sweet Lakie mouth, but the soft food was easily done. They said the mouthgard was just a small insurance protection...I have no idea what they are talkin' about...maybe they were afraid that Mama put some pitted cherries in the fruit salad...but I didn't find any.

You were a FAB date, Butchy...I love the way you blushed when I tried to kiss you. The operative word here is tried...you jumped so high that ya fell in the creek...oh well...a little nervous I guess...

Barkin' at ya Butchy...love to Snickers....

Great report, Gertie, thanks for spying!
My name is Mango, I came over to say hi. Love your blog, funny and witty, that attracted me.
I know Lacie( but I didn't know she had pink bikini) we worked together over Gussie's house after he had the surgery.
Can we be friends, please?
Cheers!

Chef said...

Hey Gertie, I sure hope Lacie dumps her other dates and goes steady with Butchy. I'd hate to see him get his little heart broken. Did she really try to kiss him? Wow!

Joe Stains said...

Thank you for the great report, you did a fine job. I wonder if Lacie really WILL settle down??? I doubt it ;)

Willow the Black Dale said...

Gerty....wow you got to go on the pic a nic and the hike! You are one smart Wheely.
Lacie must really like Butchy.....she didn't have to wear that wire mask her mumsie want to get her! Plus she didn't even bite or snap or snip. This is progress or they are soul mates (soul mates in Lacie time....couple weeks). Good luck pal we are a rootin' for ya!!!

Lots of love,
Willow

What a great report. Very informative. And, such candid and great photos. You deserve a raise!!

Bella the Boxer said...

Now, that's my idea of a GREAT date! (I wonder if Presley, America's Greatest Dog and fellow boxer, will go out with me if I wear a pink bikini?) What do you think? Inquiring minds (mine) need to know!

xoxo - Bella

Mango said...

I hope Butchy doesn't get too smitten with Lacie. I hear she really likes to play the field.

That park is beautiful, but its a good thing you hitched a ride because it doesn't look too safe for a little one like you.

Slobbers,
Mango
