Indie’s Nicknames Explained

Indie and Shanti playing with Holee roler

On Our Newfies Page, we describe our Newfies and also list their nicknames.
Indie is racking up quite a bit of them (he is such a cute puppy), so I thought I should explain them a bit.

Here we go:

Beefy Boy – Indie is quite the opposite of dainty butterfly Shanti. When he lays down, he puts his elbows out as ready for a big old steak. He is solid, none of this jelly Shanti stuff when she was a pup.

Indiana Jones – Indie is quite the explorer and curious. He loves to know what is going on and what you are up to. We can totally picture him as Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones with his whip and cowboy hat!

Brave Heart – Indie has this enormous battle cry when Shanti does not really want to play with him. He gets really vocal and rambunctious and goes Woowoowoowooo. He is totally ready to go to battle, hence Brave Heart.

BudBud – Shanti’s BonBon sounds a bit silly on a boy, and he is a Bud, so he became BudBud.

Barracuda (when playing with Shanti) – Indie has quite the jaws when playing with Shanti. Lips pulled up to the max and biting the ear, the neck, the paw, the flanks and back to the ear,etc,etc.

Superman! – This is Indie’s latest nickname and so true! He loves treats and he loves to plop in a down as fast as he can to get his treat. So he dives to the ground, slides his front paws forward as fast as he can, he is Superman! On top of that, he loves to wear a “cape”, Superman’s cape. He walks under our curtains and proceeds to open them (….no, we really want them closed. Can you learn to close them while you are at it?), even at the store, the little curtain behind the counter, he loves to wrap himself in it.

Indie loves laying behind the curtain!
