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

"Indie, give me your paw."

AWWWW Mom, NOT THE BOOTIES! "Yes dear, it's too cold out there and you know the salted walks bother you. It's for your own good."

RATS!

My humans are all excited because their chosen football team is playing well. I want to be part of the team.

Do you think I could be the a good player?

01/14/2024

A reminder to my K-9 friends.

You too can easily teach your human to give a treat by sitting.

Try it, it works every time.

This is my "are you kidding me face!"

Another lady left a comment on my page with a link to a site she is promoting. I will attempt to use the automatic option where any comment including a link will be removed immediately. I'm sorry it has come to this but I simply do not want anyone pushing their agenda on MY page.

Please let me, or my human - Bob Neumann know if you see anyone trying to use my site to their advantage.

OK?

01/13/2024

I keep noticing a lady commenting on my stuff. She asks for people to "show some love" & join her group.

All of my friends are trusting humans. Us k-9's have a unique ability to read people. I am not feeling the "love" she wants you to share.

She never once messaged me to see if I am OK with her soliciting my friends. If she had shown me her page and I found it to be a safe and uplifting group, I might feel differently about her actions.

As is, I suggest you check for yourselves before clicking on the link she provides. I am not saying anything is wrong. I simply do not appreciate her tactics.

I'm Indie & I will look out for you.

This is for my sweetie, Wesson up in Canada. I went all out for your birthday but somehow my plans seem just a tad selfish now. See, first I wore a silly celebration crown & since you weren't here, I took it off. Then I sent Mom to the pet bakery to get you a birthday biscuit & cake. Alas, somehow the treats got eaten up. So, all I got for you is a day late wish. I hope you had a nice b-day Wesson.

Hi everybody, its Indie.
I just read something … what?, you didn’t know dogs could read? There is much you don’t know about the wisdom of the K-9 nation.

Anyway, this is what I read ~ “Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in”

So I started to think about reasons I would sneak open a door for you to join all the dogs frolicking around up there in heaven.
First, you guys do your absolute best to see that we are given proper foodstuffs & kept safe. That is HUGE!

I for one really enjoy my nice warm bed, my toys, our couch & Mom & Dads lap. Talk about comfy! You guys, & by that I mean all you K-9 loving sweet people getting my sometimes silly missives, deserve all the attention dogs afford you.

Just yesterday I was listening to the old gray haired dude who walks me ~ thats right, I listen to him. We dogs swim through a sea of human speak. We listen attentively & understand way, way more than you realize.

Anyway, he says, "Indie, you're so pretty." Well, DUH. Like I never heard that before. But you know what? He means well. You all do. And because I have grown very fond of you humans, especially when you show kindness to pets, I "got your back."

So when you need me to put in a good word for you, just cue up this video.

01/09/2024

Just the other day our friends invited us over to watch a football game. I'm up for that. So, first thing I do when we arrive is stake my claim to a prime spot on the sofa.

Suddenly a loud voice says, "are you comfortable?"

Who knew it is bad manners to jump on a couch without permission?

Anyway, to answer his question, "yes I am quite comfortable, thank you very much!

So this got me to thinking about being comfortable & I thought I would share some pic’s of me either being in total comfort OR “discomfort.”

01/08/2024

Hi everyone, it's Indie.

Tell me, what do you see when you look at these pictures? You probably see a Springer having a BLAST in the woods, RIGHT?

Now imagine what my old & feeble human sees. Yep, he only notices muddy paws.

I tell ya, the dude is mudaphobic! Me, I love getting dirty. I love everything about dirt & mud & grime. AND, the smell ..... it is simply wonderful to stink. I'll bet you feel the same. There is something special about odors you acquire out in a swampy forest.

Now here's the rub, every time I get just the right amount of muck, grime, and stink on my fur, .... I GET A STINKEN BATH!!!!!

Who is on my side? I say boycott the bath!

12/31/2023

I was going to make a list of "top ten things I want to do next year."

I guess there are way more than ten. Every photo has a caption .... check them out.

12/29/2023

Many of you silly humans will soon embark on, "a new year, a new you."

Why, why, why do you do it?

Maybe you resolve to lose 5 pounds, or spend less & save more. Maybe you even will try to be more tolerant of that pesky neighbor that keeps sticking their nose in your business.

If you must have some sort of commitment to doing better in the up-coming year, by all means, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
Do you ever hear a dog say. "I'm going to really get motivated this year?"
NOPE!

First off, we dogs never send out the message that anything AT ALL is wrong with us.
So don't focus on things you need to do, focus on what you already have. If you are reading this drivel you most likely have a dog, so your life is already better than most.
If you want, you can add more richness to your life, discover more things, go on adventures, see what I mean?
As for me, Indie . . . . I'm going to continue to be fabulous.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This pic shows me with my "I'm serious" face.

I'm seriously wishing all my friends a wonderful holiday. A long time ago, Rosemary who shares her life with a beautiful Springer, (Betsy) wrote a Christmas song just for me.

I never forgot how cool that made me feel. I doubt if many of you remember so here it is. Imagine "dashing through the snow" or jingling bells, when you sing along.

There is a pretty springer
Indie is her name
She has many talents
Each is her claim to fame
All of the other springers
Look at her in awe
They know she’s a real champ
To her they raise a paw
Then one happy Christmas Eve
I heard Santa say
Indie you’re good and oh so smart
You have won so many hearts
Then Indie was very happy
Not just with the treats and toys
I know that she was thinking
I’m glad I give my parents joy.

Hi everyone, I hope this cute pic gets your attention because I need to ask a favor. Recently a few humans have posted on my page (friends of Indie Springer Spaniel) with the intent of selling merchandise.

I do not want my page to be anything but a place for people to share their love of dogs and how much fun can be found by delving into the absolute joy K-9's bring to the table.

I would feel just awful if somehow an unscrupulous - unethical - untrustworthy - shameless - fraudulent - deceitful ... oops there I go looking at my thesaurus again.

Anyway, I don't have the time to root out possible dishonest vendors. I also don't want people to imagine I am in any way trying to take advantage of my friends.

If you see something for sale, would you please point it out to me so I can remove it?

Thanks, I'm Indie & I will always be here to entertain - amuse - delight - charm - gladden ... Yikes, someone please take this dang book away from me.

12/14/2023

I was lost in a dream last night when I was just a little pup. It was like I could remember everything real clearly. My humans were talking about me as if I wasn't even listening, but I heard every word. They were talking silly.

Listen to the nonsense they spouted;

We're not going to spoil her with all kinds of toys

No chewing up our stuff

No begging or eating human food

No counter surfing

No jumping up on people

No silly professional photo sittings

No hats

No getting up on the furniture

AND, no getting on the bed

HA HA HA

I always thought Mom was kind of a small person. I had no idea just how small she is until I took the photo of her next to the tree. Man, she's tiny.

12/11/2023

How cool is this? I found my book that seemed lost for I don't know how long. Actually, I never know anything about "how long."

See, my concept of time is RIGHT NOW. Right now, I want to go swimming. BUT, & it is a BIG BUT, there is no way we are going to go for a swim. "It's too cold out," according to the old dude who seems to make too, too many decisions that I am qualified to make on my own.

Anyway, this is a picture of me in a tidal wave, I'm telling you, this thing was a tsunami. Turns out that place we were at is like on an ocean or something. The waves were out of control, 50’ at least. But it didn’t scare me none, nope, I’m fearless. I better warn ya in case you ever want to chase a frisbee out there, IT’S DANGEROUS man! Those waves have an undertow and you have just got to keep yer paws paddling. You can’t stop for even a second or you’ll be swamped, inundated, washed out, flooded, overpowered, engulfed …. you will be soaked.

Can you guess what book I found? Yep, my thesaurus. I love that book.

So, getting back to swimming, bet you thought I lost my thread, huh? Nope, I always pull it back. If any of you are going to the beach, please give me a call, I'll be ecstatic
euphoric
thrilled
elated
delighted
on cloud nine
walking on air
in seventh heaven
jubilant.

If I don't get to swim I will handle it well because when life throws ya changes you just gotta be adaptable, pliant, malleable, resilient, easygoing, etc.

So with that in mind, I’ll say goodby, adieu, ta ta, farewell, sayonara.

Will someone lose this dang book please?

How is this for giving Mom a look that says, "thank you for coming home, I missed you so, so much?"

11/21/2023

I'm not a squealer, really, you can tell me your secrets, they're safe with me. But I just gotta talk to somebody, it's making me nervous here.

See, Mom runs "the tightest ship." There is a "place for everything and everything in its place."

Here's the rub, Mom is away to parts unknown on some sort of family visit. aren't I her family?

Anyway, while she is gone, the old, feeble grey haired dude is breaking all the rules around here. I'm throwing him under the bus. Ain't no way I'm taking the fall for the shameful way the dude is letting everything go to pot.

Check out the captions for descriptions of his total failure in keeping up her good practices. which BTW all just MAKE GOOD SENSE.

10/31/2023

So, we went for a walk again this morning as we always do. Everything was great until..........
WHOA!!!!! What is that?
I have no idea what I smelled, but it smelled evil! My whole body tensed up in horror at the smell. This is pure evil - I have no idea why. How can you smell evil? It doesn’t make sense, but I’ll tell you this ~ Sometimes the things you see in the shadows are more than just shadows!!!!
I stayed right next to the dude cuz, “I was scared out of my wits” And you all know, I’m pretty witty. All of a sudden I figured the whole thing out, I remembered something I read. WHAT, you don’t think dogs can read? We of the K-9 nation are so much smarter than you will ever know. See, we don’t want you to know just how much we know - know what I mean? So here is what I read ~ “Hark! Hark to the wind! Tis the night they say when all souls come back from the far away - the dead, forgotten this many a day shall torment you in every way." See, today is HALLOWEEN.
"Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,voices whisper in the trees."
I for one plan to stay at home in my little comfy crate where I know I’ll be safe & warm. I suggest you all do the same.

10/24/2023

So, since I'm the "sage" dog who gives good advice, here goes.

Do you know that many people prefer time with their dog over friends?
Sounds kind of harsh doesn't it?
But no, it's not harsh at all. It just shows how terrific your dog can be. Having a dog in your family impacts a humans physical, emotional and mental well-being in many, many cool ways.
Do you find comfort with your dog during a stressful time? Do you look forward to getting home after a long day at work mostly because Fido will greet you with amazing enthusiasm? Do you get way more exercise simply because you want to be outside with your precious pet?
You are not alone. Studies show that over 80% of people talk to their dog even telling them things they wouldn’t share with any other people. Dogs are the best friend who never interrupts your troubles with problems of their own. They also don’t offer unwanted advice.
Relationships with people, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Humans can be complex and complicated, even NASTY, but your relationship with your pup is pure and easy. You are their entire world, and they trust you to love them and take care of them. You alone are more than enough for them.
We don't ask much of you, and we never want you to be anything but who you are.. We love you, even when you are at your ugliest physically, mentally and emotionally. We love you even when you don't love yourself. RIGHT?
I could continue to pen words about the goodness and beauty of sharing your life with a dog and often do. Imma gonna stop here and ask you to say how your dog makes your life better.
OK?

And because I have grown very fond of you humans, especially when you show kindness to pets, I "got your back." So when you need me to put in a good word for you, just cue up this video.

My human used to have a rubber golf ball to hit & I loved chasing it. Sometimes my excitement got the better of me. This might have been one of those times.

I found my long lost bother Mickey. Turns out he wasn't lost at all. He is at the lake house with his humans right where I last saw him. I sure miss seeing his handsome face. He looks a whole bunch the same as me! Really! I look at him & it's almost like when I look in a mirror. So, am I "pretty handsome?" I guess so. Anyway, it was sure fun seeing you Mickster! I'll have my people contact your people - lets do lunch - OK?

A dog with integrity. That's me, Indie. See, Charlie got his right rear paw stuck in his lead while we were wrestling. I would have been at an advantage because of his possibly getting all tangled up. Did I use it in my favor? Nope. I waited until Mom freed his paw before we resumed our match. BTW - I won.

Finally! We went swimming today. This was my first dive of the summer. What the heck were we waiting for?

This is me, Indie “strutting the runway.”

Oh man, I thought football season was over! Out of nowhere I come across this ball and Mom decided it was time to play. What FUN!

Hey Mom, check it out, Lake Michigan is percolating just like when you make coffee!

Sure it's cold out, but doesn't the snow just seem to put a SPRING in your step?

This video of Mickey, me & our little friend is a perfect example of how to get along. Let me explain: The three of us are playing around when "Jack Russell" gets angry. A little snarling goes on but we get passed it quickly. We resume playing only until "Jack" becomes upset once again. This time nipping accompanied by teeth- bearing occurs. Then we see "big brother" Mickey come to his little sisters defense. "You mess with my sister, you're gonna have to deal with me." Mickey was saying, STOP THE FIGHTING RIGHT NOW! So we did and had a great time.

I swam out to retrieve the frisbee, my nose just above the surface, and paws doing the "dog paddle." Had I ever felt better? See, swimming is just running in the water, so if you're a good runner, you're a good swimmer. I swam & swam, my legs really getting into it, churning through the water so fast that -- "Indie, bad dream kiddo?" I opened my eyes, kept swimming for a second - and there was my human looking at me with amusement. Aw man, I can't wait until swimming season again. I guess I'll just have my dreams for now.

Every once in a while you just gotta show the youngster who's the boss!

The humans took me along for a walk around Lake Geneva. It is really cool as you walk on the lake shore which is the back yard of some stately homes. Anyway, everything was fine until this sort of turtle monster came after me. I showed it who's boss!

Once every year we see this dinosaur. I can't figure out just what in tarnation it is. So I bark my fool head off.

It's their birthday. Yep, all my brothers & sister are 9 today. There were only us two girls but we had many good times with the boys. This must have been suppertime. Happy birthday to us!
