October is National Pit Bull Awareness Month. As a result, adoptable land seals Sheriff and Lily would like to make you aware of the reasons why not to adopt a pit bull.
We are thieves. We will steal your couch, your bed, your blanket, your boyfriend/girlfriend, your bagel, and your heart.
We snore. You will think you are sleeping with a humpback whale or possibly a porpoise, but nope it’s just us making cheek bubbles in our sleep.
We are aggressive French kissers. Prepare yourself for slop and a possible tongue up the nose. Sinus cavities beware!
We are terrible guard dogs. If a burglar is armed with peanut butter or a pepperoni stick your TV is walking out the door.
Our tails are weapons. We will whip you like you’ve done something wrong, just by walking past. Shorts are no longer an option if you don’t like pain.
Like intimate moments with your sweetheart? You’re out of luck, because we don’t believe in personal space. Prepare to have a lovely velvet hippo at your side at all times.
Are you super self conscious? Well get over it because we are masters of the side eye and teach Ted Talks on looking at humans with judgement when they least expect it.
And lastly, we will trade you for a piece of cheese. It doesn’t even have to be high quality.
