this is bran. bran's original name was brandy, the name which he used for two years while he was with his previous owner. over there he had a wife and two pups. his owner for some appearant reason couldn't manage so many dogs, and wanted to get rid of bran. i think she chose him mainly because he kept 'harrassing' his wife. before he got neutered, he was uncontrollably insane in the presence of female dogs. anyways one day when hewas here already his jewels got infected, and nomatter how purebred he was we had to get them snipped off. i shall give you a moment to be squeamish.

so my aunt bought him for me despite my dad's practical views of not wanting to clean up and spend money over a dog. she bought food and collars and everything for him (which isn't cheap, mind you) for the first year or so. after that it was all history.

over the years bran has learned a variety of words. some of them are, bone bone, ear ear, milk milk, pong pong (bathe), no no!, go!, whose!, you want to ___, walk walk, lulu (the groomer who he is in love with), shee shee, ham ham (oh, he hates that word.), lick lick, eat, where?, comb comb, and the best one of all, jie jie. that's me. beware, if you irritate him he'll let out a huge sigh through his nose and blow nose water all over you. he also enjoys sitting on the section of newspaper you're reading and scratching it all to shreds if you read on the floor. he likes you to punch him lightly so he'll have a reason to bite your fist and use it as a chew toy. e's scared of tall people but doesn't mind smelly people. if you're a stranger and you lunge at him suddenly he'll get a moment of diarreah and, well i'll just say you'll stink after that. that's why i think in his ancestry there's a skunk somewhere. he gets nightmares and wails real loud or growls in his sleep. he's a known snorer. he hates the yakult deliverey woman, or any delivery person for that matter. his favourite snack is pigs ear, well, after hamsters, but he's never eaten one before. (thank God) so that pretty much sums up the quirks of bran. he's lovely, isn't he? :D
