Brandy Spaniel

Tell me a little bit about yourself
I am Brandy Spaniel, 6 years old; head of the household; good at taking control and causing chaos.

How many humans/siblings do you have and how long have you had them?
I have my Humum and Hudad, I was just 8 weeks old when I chose them. I also have my brofur ‘Taika’; he is a funny wee thing with very small ears. I think he might be a cat but I luffs him very muchly. Rumour has it that I may have another little spaniel brofur arriving soon.

Do you work if so where/what do you do?
I am a home security pawfessional, no noise or movement, however small or insignificant escapes my superdupa spaniel senses.

If you could choose your name what would it be?
REBEL

What is your favourite food?
I have three favourites… Sausages, sausages and oh let me think……erm yep definitely more sausages.

Where is your favourite place to be?
Looking out of the window from the back of the sofa. It’s my elevated but comfy workplace where I can monitor the front gate, the side street and the back gate whilst having an occasional little snoozy.

What is your favourite way to entertain yourself (annoy your humans)?
I love running off with small items of knitwear. I then enjoy taunting my humans by daggling the treasured soft woolly items just out of their reach; if the back door is open, I like to discard the items in the deepest depths of the garden never to be seen or worn again.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
I once swallowed a whole catnip mouse, kept it tucked away inside my tummy for 3 days before reproducing it with a wretch and some theatrics in surprisingly good condition if slightly discoloured. Funnily enough my brofur didn’t seem to want to play with it after that…fussy little thing that he is. I also memorably made my puppy school teacher’s hand bleed whilst she was trying to use me to teach the group how to stop puppies biting. And I also won a battle of wills with Mr Vet who stupidly thought that I had forgotten how awful it is to have something sprayed up your snozzle…well I wasn’t going to let that happen twice, when my booster was due I thrashed about so much that Mr Vet gave up and opted for an injection instead. He wrote on my record “gets agitated” - the cheeky sod.

What is your next goal in life?
To convince my humans that I have a terrible allergy to kibble biscuits and should only be served the highest quality sausages, smoked streaky bacon and chicken. I would also like to pass on all my skills, tricks and knowledge to my soon-to-arrive baby spaniel brofur…..he is going to be my protégé.

If you could be/do anything for a day, what would it be?
Sausage taste tester?

What was your human’s most embarrassing moment?
There have been several occasions when I’ve been out with my humans and I have suddenly found myself with an incredibly itchy bottom; I tend to remedy this affliction by performing an emergency scoot across whatever flooring there is available. Wool carpets are particular effective but I can also utilise gravel driveways, pavements, the shiny floor at the vets, freshly cut lawns …anywhere really. Now for some unfathomable reason my humans find this highly embarrassing.
