Apparently, Twitter is the new Craigslist.
Who needs a classified website when you can sell your dog much quicker on the popular social media platform?
After not sending out a tweet in several weeks, Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins wrote to his 55,000 followers this week that he needed to get rid of his 10-month-old English bulldog because it was too big to be around his young son.
Hey I have a English bulldog and he to big to be around my youngest child he 10 months got his papers and he got a micro chip.

And the asking price was quite reasonable:
We paid about 3,000 for him but its not the the money we want to sell him for 1,500 but we will work with you just want a good home for him

I just don't want to sell him but we don't have time for him taking bids now

Perkins even tweeted some photos of the pooch:

Somehow, this is exactly the dog we pictured Perkins to have. He is, after all, known as one of the meanest players in the league.
Perkins got some responses, and he told his followers that they could come over and pick up the dog whenever they liked:
@MonicaMcAfee he's at my house come get him

@BigDaddy_Buster do you want him he's yours
— Kendrick Perkins (@KendrickPerkins) June 19, 2013
Finally, less than an hour after his original post, Perkins tweeted the following:
They dog sold yall

Well, that didn't take long.
