Kratos the Pit Bull
A silly poem about my pit bull36 total reviews

A nice tribute to your pal Kratos, I was afraid to ask what his "Woobie" was, but I read your authors note and got the scoop. A well constructed Acrostic.

Thank you for the kind review. Kratos loves his woobie.

Comment from Patty Mazzurco
Your poem captures such an endearing portrait, with each line showing a warm, lively character. The descriptions like always sucking on his woobie and tail wagging constantly bring such a personal, playful touch, and I can almost picture his oversized, lovable self in action. You've managed to convey a whole personality in just a few lines, and it leaves a sweet impression. This piece feels like a genuine tribute to a one-of-a-kind companion.

Thank you for the kind review. Kratos is a big bundle of energy and the biggest snuggle bug ever.
People need to learn about Pit bulls. They aren't evil. When they shut down the dog fighting ring that Micheal Vick had. Those dogs were rehabilitated and became service dogs. Media only shows the evil they can be if not raised right.

Comment from Heather Knight
It's true that some dog owners don't take the necessary precautions. I've seen huge scary dogs in the street with no leash or no muzzle and if I had a baby, I'd be scared.
Our neighbour had a Great Dane (he passed away recently and they are heartbroken) and he was like yours, he'd never hurt a fly. But they had to hire a coach because he could reach the kitchen table, if he didn't want to be left alone he sat against the door...
I have a Westie. He's two years old and super sweet, but if he was a centimetre taller he'd eat our meals.
Thanks for sharing your acrostic. They aren't easy to write and you've done very well.

Heather,
Thank you for your feedback. When I said, "hey this acrostic won't be hard." I was wrong. It looked easy, but it wasn't.

I've written some, but they weren't very easy (or good). I do agree with you.
But I liked yours because the flow was very natural.

Thank you again. Maybe I'll switch to acrostic they seem to easier for me. I am writing another poem about Kratos, but it's giving me grief :(. Maybe in a couple days.

Sometimes it's better to let our writing rest. And then look at it with fresh eyes the next morning or in a couple of days as you said.
Comment from ESOSTINE
Hello, Cecilia, I would be even more proud, bold and boisterous if I were as huge and intimidating as your Kratos pit bull. Hahahaha! I am actually scared of dogs so not a fan. Well done, dear. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for the kind review. I used to be afraid of dogs. Over the years I have gotten over it. If Kratos wasn't mind I'd be scared to death of him.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
What a sweet acrostic this is! I agree with you that most of the problems with pitties occur at the higher end of the leash. I take my Mini Bernadoodle to the park by our house every day, and I have never once seen anyone have an issue with a pitbull. The little snappy chihuahuas and French bulldogs, though? They are FOREVER starting problems with other dogs!
This was a delightful read. Glad I happened across this tonight.

Rachelle,
Thank you for your kind review. I agree that chihuahuas are satan's minion. My aunt used to have one and he would come under the table and bite you for no reason.
My pit bull is a sweetie and he loves to give kisses. He is a big snuggle bug and is scared of his own shadow. They have this big mean disposition (supposedly), but I have seen him spin around and take off for the house when something scares him. I wish people would give them a chance. Don't judge them until you've owned one. It will change your mind.

I've never owned one, and I love them to death. I've only ever known them to be super sweeties. And I, personally, also love the LOOK of them!! I think maybe that's where the bad rep comes from. They LOOK quite intimidating - like the cartoon images of the "scary dog." But then, you start to pet them, and they make that grunty-snorty sound and push those big shoulders into you. I find them delightful.
Where does the name Kratos come from, btw?
-
My son named him. The name is after a God in Greek mythology. He has a cat named Loki. That name comes from Norse mythology.

There are no bad dogs, only bad owners! Love your words about your adorable pitbull. I worked with a nurse who rescues them. As a dog lover, I enjoyed reading about Kratos. He sounds like a fun and lovable canine.

Thank you for the kind review.
He is a very fun boy. I used to be afraid of pit bulls until my son got one. He is a big snuggle bug and likes to give lots of kisses. I'm a big advocate for pit bulls and I hope one day the stigma is lifted from them.

Comment from Brenda Strauser
I liked your poem. I always thought pitbulls were dangerous. They are portrayed that way. I agree with you about if they are treated right, they are gentle dogs.

Brenda,
Thank you for the kind review. Pitbulls are portrayed as evil dogs, however they are the biggest snuggle bugs and just love giving kisses. I hope one day they aren't viewed as bad dogs.

Comment from tempeste
Ciao!,
You reviewed a poem of mine so I got to see your cool avatar, Kratos is a great name!
Your comment that He is also an active reviewer made me chuckle.
Sadly, this breed is used for dogfighting. Turned into a killing machine, exploited, and then dumbed in due time.
I love the part about his blanket and the adjective: rambunctious.

Thank you for the kind review. Unfortunately, this breed is misunderstood. Anyone that fights these dogs is heartless.

Comment from bob cullen
Loved your notes best. It contained one of the truest lines I have ever read. 'People often blame the wrong end of the leash.' As I said. So True. These poor dogs sure do get the wrong end of the deal also.

Dolly,
Thank you for the kind review. He is a big snuggle bug and loves to give kisses. When he lays down next to me he body slams me and keeps trying to get closer. I love that dog.
