Indie Springer Spaniel I'm a sassy little Spaniel who has a very optimistic view on things. Can we laugh together?

Hi everyone, it's Indie and I'm looking out for you.

When someone says "I'm just looking out for you," it typically means they care about your well-being and are concerned for your safety, happiness, or overall best interests.

Well, that's me! I've got your back. I'm here for you. You can count on me. I've got you covered.

Am I leaving anything out?

WHAT? You say you can look out for yourself. If you need my help you'll ask for it. You don't need me looking out for you, you look out for yourself quite nicely and I should mind my own business.

WAIT! Now I'm all confused.

Should I keep my eye on you??????

On our walks we often run into other people with their dog. Once in a while tempers flare and a few pups snap at each other.
I find that when another dog strips his teeth at me, I get the best result if I don't retaliate.

Ever hear of the "Ben Franklin effect?"

Ben said "get your adversary to do a small favor for you."


One time my pal Ollie started nipping at me & of course I nipped back. Our humans hollered & we dropped the idea of fighting like a hot potato. I then used old Ben's advice & asked Ollie to go pick up a stick for me. When she brought it over I began to chase her all over & we totally forgot why we were mad in the first place.
Chasing a friend with a stick is good medicine.

I'm Indie & I'm full of ideas

Do not try this approach with a cat!
That cat in the picture used to live here and no matter how many small favors I would ask of him, he always replied.... "pfffffft"

Today's Indieism ~ "Walk softly and carry a big stick." But not too far cuz it really tires you out.

So, while a whole bunch of you humans will try to be resolute & make yourself better in the new year, I'll continue being fabulous.

Nothing to change here. Nope.

On our walk the old geezer said, "Happy New Year Indie. Making any resolution this year?"

Smell more stuff!

That's all I need, how about you, my friends?

What is a pup supposed to do when the humans decide the weather is too lousy for walks.

Me? I like to tell stories.

So, you all know about dogs noses, right? K-9's can smell a hundred times, wait, a thousand times, ah heck, a million times better than humans. That's right partner, a gazillion times better than you.

Ok, ok, ok, I'll give you an example. Take me into the bakery on the corner, right? What do you smell?

Maybe you smell pie, or bread or doughnuts. Know what I smell? I smell the nutmeg and apples in the pie. I smell every single ingredient used to bake all the stuff in the store. I even smell the perfume the lady behind the counter put on this morning. That's not all. The guy running the oven in the back? Well let's just say he didn't take a shower, nowutimean?

So here is my story about how amazing our nose is:

Moogan, a senior mix breed is living out his days in a shelter in Utah. Moogan was diagnosed with sudden acquired retinal degeneration (SARD), a rare and mysterious condition with no treatment or cure. Veterinary care slowed the degeneration, but Moogan eventually lost almost all his vision.

He relies on volunteers, (bless their hearts) for daily walks. Ben was walking Moogan when he stopped suddenly, turned backward pulling on the lead to the point of causing Ben to follow.

"What's up Moo?" Ben said and tried to continue on the walk. Moogan would have none of it. With all the power he could muster up, he pulled back until Ben followed. As Ben came back he knelt and turned around to notice, if he had kept walking he would have stepped on a rattlesnake.

No kidding. Blind Moogan saved Ben From getting bit by a venomous snake.

Now you tell me, isn't this a great story? I hope someone forever homes you Moogan.

So, it has been raining around these parts for most of 2 days now. With that & all the snow melting it has gotten pretty muddy outside. Me? I'm not "mudaphobic" like the old dude. He hates getting dirty. I mean it. One speck of dirt on him and it's off to the shower.

I'm a Springer. We LOVE dirt!!!!!

Anyway, some fool decided I need a mini-bath after every walk. He calls it an "underbody flush.'

Any ideas how I can get back at him? I gotta do something, doncha think?

Dogs love Christmas too, just like you & you.

We don't go to the mall, looking to buy stuff'
loving you is enough, yep plenty enough.

Every time you greet us our tail will wag
and it's not cuz you have treats, but if you have any, I'll take a full bag.

It is nice when we have guests who are simply great,
I don't even care when you keep me up late.

I love all the hugs and pats on my head,
but listen here, I'm kinda tired, it's time for bed.

I used to stay up late, late, late,
I loved a party with holiday cheer.

I'll do my best to entertain, to keep you comfy, I won't complain.
I'd love to stay, I'm no grouch, but do you see my nice bed? It's there on the couch.

I love a good nap, I'll bet you do too. So, I will bid adieu, on this Christmas Eve ..... All love & kisses:

Indie.

Have you just ever had an extra spring in your step?

Rarely seen footage of the "forest beast." This wild Banshee roams the woods evading capture and mystifying any who are fortunate to catch a glimpse.

I was bored today so I decided to see what drivel humans were posting on social media. "Do dogs feel emotion?" Yup, that was the first thing I came upon, humans deciding what us K-9's feel or don't feel. Conclusion: Complex emotional states may be out of reach for our furry friends.

HA!

I'll tell ya what we know! We know that you don't know squat about what dogs feel.

I'm posting a whole bunch of pics of me & a few of other pups my humans shared this home with. Go ahead and try to imagine what we are feeling in each of the photos. If you are brave enough to tell me what you think, I will tell you what is really on our mind.

This might be a whole bunch of fun.

Hey all my friends. I was going through my notes, you know, the ones I keep for when I write my autobiography. Anyway, I found this letter I sent to our former neighbor Dee. I figured none of you have read it and maybe you will enjoy doing so. Here it is:

Hi Dee.

I sure like having a sounding board like you to bounce my thoughts and ideas off of. My humans, well, let’s face it, they’re not the best listeners. Maybe the blue-eyed one, but not the dude. He never shuts up to take time to listen. I swear, sometimes he just keeps on talking because he likes to hear his own voice. Maybe it’s not a bad voice, but it’s nothing like yours. I can hear your sweet voice right now; “oh Indie, you want a cookie?” See what I mean?

Anyway, I think I want a pool. I’ll tell ya why. See, we went to this house party and she had a “salt water” pool. GUESS WHAT? Dogs can swim in it! No kidding.

So I did. Her silly dog, Pancho - Leftie - Louie, whatever his name was, he hardly swam, er swum, swimmed? Dang, where is my thesaurus when I need it?

If he doesn’t want to use the pool, I’ll take it. Now here is where you might be able to help me out. I can’t figure out how to get the dang thing in the car let alone take it home.

Do you have any ideas?

I had another thought. It might be a wild idea but you never know till you ask.

I was watching the TV while my humans were out of the room and this cool thing was happening. It was one of those channels where they are always fixing up houses that need fixing. They would draw a picture of like a new kitchen and next thing you know the picture would turn into a real kitchen.

Ain’t that super cool.

So here is my excellent, superior, fantastic, amazing, intriguing, idea. (bet you noticed what book I found, huh?)

You can draw really good. So, how about you paint, draw, color, or cast in bronze a cool pool for me that turns into a real pool in your yard next to us. You remember, the white house you used to live in.

Well, it’s just a thought.

Real quick, my humans are good. They say they miss you. I don’t quite understand why they don’t just go see you, but that is none of my business. I don’t go sticking my nose in others' business. I kinda wish some of the cur dogs down here would keep their nose out of my business. They always want to smell where you go p*e. How gross is that?????

I hope you will consider painting a pool so I might get to go swimming full time.

Indie.

It is not very often I write a mushy post. Today I am making an exception.

I want to explain some things to you. I am one of the fortunate pups that have humans who care for me and even go the extra mile. They have done so much for me that I feel special having shared my life with them. Hey! Don't go thinking I'm sick or anything like that. Matter of fact, I feel pretty good, dang good actually.

I'm just paying respects for being in the right home for me. See, I know the holidays are coming up and, did you know, SOME PEOPLE TAKE THEIR OLDER PETS TO SHELTERS SO THEY CAN GET A NEW PUPPY!

I'm getting up in years but my humans would never, ever abandon me.

They have shown me beauty in so many ways I couldn't, begin to tell you. I live in a warm comfortable home filled with laughter and fun ..... oh yeah, treats too.

I have met so many other humans who love the K-9 nation because my humans hang around with cool people. So I salute you humans who appreciate what dogs bring to the table.

I hope you enjoy the photos of me during my journey with the Neumanns. They are pretty cool.

Springer Spaniels have a natural love for water. We were initially bred to assist hunters in locating and retrieving game birds, often in water-rich environments. This has ingrained in Springers a deep-rooted love for water and a set of skills that make us excellent swimmers and retrievers.

It was super wet on our walk today and I am publicly thanking my old feeble human for spending a long time chasing me with a ball and letting me get soaked.

He never thought to take any pictures, "I don't wanna get my phone wet Indie."

Ya big baby. Anyway, these are pics from the past. I love getting wet man. It's a BLAST!

It was snowing when Mom & I went for our walk this morning. Maybe that was why I had dreams during my nap of playing in the snow with my brother Mickey.

Hey Mickster, I miss you. Wanna come over?

What is the deal with cats trying to irritate me? Just now while we were out for a walk, this really strange looking cat was digging around in the grass. I wanted to chase him to kingdom come but the old grey haired goof wouldn't let me. If this keeps up cats all over will think I'm a sissy.

Indie and I watched the dog dock diving competition. She seemed to have something to say after each dive. Do you think she was giving them advice? Maybe, "time your jump, reach," or "get more height."

Sometimes I even impress myself! My self control today was incredible. Here's the deal. In the video it looks like I am swimming with a K-9 friend & all is great, huh? Let me tell you "the rest of the story." Did you catch my quick reference to Paul Harvey? Paul Harvey was a huge radio star with a whole bunch of listeners who loved his down home approach to presenting news stories. Every day he’d begin a broadcast with one of his catchphrases, “Hello, Americans! I’m Paul Harvey.” Then after he started his story, before the next break he’d say, “In a moment…. the rest of the story….” And at the very end he would say, “Now you know…the rest of the story,” and conclude his radio show with, “Paul Harvey…Good day.” Feels like it was just yesterday, doesn’t it? Anyway, back to the rest of my story. This mongrel you see swimming next to me was a bully. Just because he can swim faster than I can he decided to fetch MY FRISBEE - get that? MY FRISBEE. Yeah, he would chase it down, grab it in his big yap & swim back all while saying, "na, na, na, na, na. If you know what's good for you big fella, you better watch your step next time. Now you know the rest of the story, Indie...Good day.

Last night the old dude & I were walking on the trail. We turned the corner and look what we found. The young doe was not afraid of us and didn't even try to run away. Me? I sat quietly being "a good girl." In my younger days I most likely would have chased her. I guess I'm "older and wiser."

Nose down, tail up, that's how I roll. I was rolling along this morning when all of a sudden, WHAT IS THAT? I found the scent of something badly out of place. A TURTLE in the middle of the field. Don't they need to be close to water? Well, I got right on the case. I first sniffed the whole area out to get my bearings. Then I barked out to the turtle that he was lost & needed to get back to where the water is. I'm not sure he/she took my advice though. I do hope there is a happy ending and the turtle gets back home.
