and I am not sure where to post this.....  

He is so highly energetic... where i heard someone has called it something like high octaine (sp)  something .... 

I do love the guy, and he drives me Nuts!! 

He is smart, so eagerly to learn, minds well, (most of the time). and wants to be someone's shadow. 

But he has to bother Kasey all the time.....   Kasey would have "enough" of him.  and when he does, he runs to me to "get away" from Indy.  I don't baby Kasey when he does that...   and I would try to block Indy from getting to Kasey with a stern no, or un uh...  or something like that...   i even used a squirt bottle....  he knows he must settle down, but i can't hold on to the bottle all the time. 

He drives my daugher crazy too....  and she has too, learned to stand tall, and say "un uh" sharply and quickly with her fist on her hips... my daughter is 5 years old.(that did work, for a while)  She would come up and say, "mom! indy keeps following me" when she doesn't want to be bothered. 

He is perfect for my son, who is 9 years old.... they play, wrestle, do their "boys" thing together...   He would sleep with my son when it is his bedtime, after that , he'll go to his crate for the night.

My husband doesn't do much with him....(not his fault)  because he works alot...(6 days a week).   So alot of the work/training is on me. 

He would be perfect for agility....  but the problem is he has a bad knee....   but that does not stop him from running....   and man! that guy can run!!  and regarding his knee,  can he still do agility?  or flyball?   he loves to fetch.... chase...  anything that is moving....  he has to be involved.... he has lux. pat...  LP.  (does anyone have a dog with that problem and does some kind of activity to burn his energy?  ) and it doesn't hurt him/her? 

He has come a long way since i pulled him from the shelter in December....he was almost a year old, and when i brought him home, he was running like a 6 week old puppy! very clumsy (which i believe he lived most of his life in the crate)

he is crate trained, house-trained, on a feeding schedule....   knows what he can play with and knows what he can't touch.... 95 percent of the time...

I guess i am just venting, and i can't think of anything else to do but to keep on doing what i have been doing.... I just feel so bad for Kasey....   and my daughter....   and I am just waiting for Indy to get past that "stage"....  

Thanks for listening....

oh, and if you have any other tips....  Please share, maybe i missed something...

Thanks.

Thanks!! 

Indy is one of those energizer bunny that keeps going and going and going................

another thing that is funny about him, is that he entertains himself with the floppy disk.... he would shake it so hard, and then it would fly out of his mouth almost across the room!  and then he'll stop and look...  with that "uh?" expression, and then he sees it!!  gets it with a smile on his face and do it all over again.....   that goof ball....  

he is mine.....   i adopted him from the shelter.....   he has come a long way.... and and aren't we all are busy....  but i do enjoy playing fetch with him...   that's one thing i can do with him, and that he knows how to do.... then My son, Owen will play with him.... they rough house with each other...   they both love it!! 

I am glad that I am not the only one... and I feel so much better....   just sometimes when they do that it is to drive us crazy sometimes!  lol

kasey is a barker, Indy is a pester... lol Indy is approxmately a year and half old....   I don't think he's gonna settle any time soon.  maybe in a few years if i'm lucky... lol lol
