Pit
Bull Inspiration
"She snuggles
with me every night, shares my pillow, and finds no place in
the house as comfortable as my lap." -Terry
A
Pit Bull's View on Life
-
Never pretend to be something you're not.
Everyone knows you are a 70
pound lap dog, so don't pretend that you
are not.
-
If you have a stick in your mouth, you
automatically switch to super overdrive, and will be
compelled to run around like you are insane...
|
 |
-
If your people won't let you on the bed, cry, whine
and look pathetic until
they do, and if they don't, jump directly on vulnerable
parts when they are sleeping.
-
Be excessive, if they ask you to get a stick, bring
back a tree, if they ask for a kiss, drench
their face.
-
If someone seems to not want to be friends, follow
them around, stare at them, bark at them, cry, and
if they are sitting, sit
directly on them, and kiss them
until they can't breath.
-
Always sit where everyone is, and if they are in the
same place, like the couch or bed, make sure to plop
yourself in between them, and do
not move.
-
If they try to move you, be stubborn, dig in your
heels, and if they do move you, refer to the rule above.
-
If you want to add a little excitement to your life...chase
something, the cat, squirrels, raccoons, see how your
people come running and yelling. I have found that
porcupines and skunks work exceptionally well, but
don't ever catch them, or you'll end up in
the bath tub or the vet's.
-
Baths are always bad, unless someone is already in
there, or it's with the hose or the water gun they
think is punishment.
-
Act
as silly as you can when you do something wrong,
and you should get away with it. The trick is to
make them laugh...
-
Work that tongue of yours...let them come close enough
and then surprise them with a lick "snake's style" right
on the mouth!
-
Make sure to always go for the most comfortable couch
in the house... even
if it is already occupied. Same thing goes for your
favorite lap.
-
When it's in your best interest, always practice obedience,
keeping a keen eye on the hand that holds the treat,
unless there is something more interesting within 100
yards, then ignore everyone and focus entirely on the
more interesting person/dog/thing to the point of reaching
a trance state.
-
Allow the experience of fresh
air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy
and prompt you to produce copious amounts of drool
to leave on all interior car windows.
-
Never
miss the opportunity to cuddle with a loved one...

What Animal Do I Speak Of?
Their love is like no other; their heart is pure as gold.
Yet while going on a friendly walk, they're faced with stares of cold.
They're so very close to human, in how they
act and what they do.
Unless you've known their devoted love,
it's impossible to explain to you.
They are greatly more misunderstood, than any
other breed.
We tend to punish this loyal dog, instead of mankind's
deeds.
They are always and forever clowns, with a
wish for center stage.
Yet while displaying this sense of humor,
most people disengage.
They, oh, so want to make new friends, and
run and jump and play.
Yet when they happily approach, most
people shy away.
Often I've seen children poke, or hop on for
a ride.
And when I felt they might get mad, they've only beamed with pride.
I've seen these children yank and pull, with
nary a reaction.
Yet media's not interested, unless they've
put someone in traction.
They love to snuggle up real close, to give
lots of loves and kisses.
Yet they suffer more than any, from
unfair prejudices.
What animal do I speak of, whose love is so
unique?
If you've truly known one, you know of whom I speak.
There is no creature on this earth who will
ever make you merrier.
The animal I do speak of, it's the American
Pit Bull Terrier.

The
Day Brooklyn got Creative
When you go out in the yard today, be ready for
a surprise
When you go out in the yard today, you won't believe your eyes.
Brooklyn, Dear, was playing a game,
And our back yard won't be the same.
Today's the day Brooklyn got creative!
Do you remember the garden gate that I asked you
to fix?
Well, you can take it off your list, it's now a pile of sticks.
The bushes and shrubs you needed to prune,
were bitten and chewed and finished by noon.
Today's the day Brooklyn re-arranged things!
Do you remember the flower garden that you kept
so neat?
Well, who'd of thought it was something he could re-design with feet?
He romped and played, it wasn't a crime.
He did it all in the interest of time.
The only thing left you need to tend is a huge mess
Do you remember the grass so green that he was not
to hurt?
Well, you can forget it too, it's all been turned to dirt.
He dug some holes around the trees,
He showed me one, it's up to my knees!
Today's the day Brooklyn re-arranged things!
The sprinkler heads are missing too, I don't know
where they have gone.
It sprung a leak and filled a hole, and now we have a pond.
He worked so quick it's hard to believe,
That all of this could be done by three.
Today's the day Brooklyn re-arranged things!
He is resting now, he is very tired from all that
he has done.
Good thing we have the number we do, it would be worse if it wasn't done
by one.
He worked so hard to please his Dad,
He hopes that you will be very glad.
Today's the day Brooklyn got creative! |
Pit
Bulls Don't Cry
I
see the children in the lane
They look like friends,
we'll have a game
They've got a stick, oh boy, what
fun
They'll throw it for me and I'll
run But someone stops
me,
I wonder why their mother screams?
Don't go near those
horrid dogs, come here, come close
They're dangerous
- I'll tell you why
They bite children and they die! All I can do is watch
and sigh
Cause now I know that Pit Bulls don't
cry Mom cuddles me up
and says
"My pet, We love you dearly so don't you
fret"
But I love everyone out there
Why can't they love
me? I do care I wish they weren't
made to pass me by
I'm a Pit Bull, I don't cry I sit behind my padlocked
gate
From early morn til quite late
When I go out it's on a lead
Is mine the only heart
to bleed? I'm held in check
as the world goes by
I wish the Pit Bull heart could
cry There are some dogs,
and also men
Who cannot tell a foe from a friend
So all of us must
bear the blame
Expected to live a life of shame
Condemned, alas and
we know not why All we know is we
will not cry! Author Unknown

When
I Got My New Dog
I asked for strength that I might rear
her perfectly;
I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats.
I asked for an obedient dog that I
might feel proud;
I was given stubbornness that I might feel humble.
I asked for compliance that I might
feel masterful;
I was given a clown that I might laugh.
I asked for a companion that I might
not feel lonely;
I was given a best friend that I would feel loved.
I got nothing I asked for,
But everything that I needed.

A
Prayer of a Pit Bull
Spirit in the sky, who watches over all animals: It is my prayer and my request that you grant greater understanding, and acceptance to humans; those who love us, and those who hate us.
That they will know how loyal we are, how brave we are, and how loving we are. Help them to accept us as a breed in whole, and not let the few tragedies shine brighter than the many great traits that we have.
And those who would kill me, let them know, I forgive them, even though I don't understand their hatred. And those who would beat me, let them know I still love them, even though it is not the honorable way.
Thank you for all the strong traits that you have given to me, and my breed. Help those to know that I stand for courage, strength, loyalty, and bravery. And as my master already knows, let those who would come against my family know that I would surely die defending them.
And just one last thing that I would ask: Let my master know, that if you should call me away, that I will wait patiently at those pearly gates until the one who chose me, comes home.
Amen.
