With a heavy heart I am asking again for prayers. Please hold KatoWolf/Liz and her family in your hearts and prayers. Liz kenneled 3 ˝ year old Nitro at a training kennel for training while she cared for her father, leaving the kennel 3 months of food and supplies and paying a large deposit – and called for progress updates at least every other week. Pray her sweet Nitro has peace now and will have justice. Nitro and 6 other beautiful companion animals were murdered and 4 others fight just to live. Please pray for healing for KatoWolf’s family and for all the families who this horrible tragedy has touched, pray for their dear furbabies taken so cruelly, and pray for justice for this monster so he may never hurt another.

OH MY GOD!!! My heart and soul weep for these poor neglected furbabies. Every one of them is someone's special baby. This derelict should be locked up and starved and let die of thirst just as he has done to these poor animals. No animal on this earth deserves to be treated like that. Their suffering must have been horrendous. My heart goes out to the parents of these loved ones who thought that their little ones were being cared for, and every right they had to believe that was the case. I hope and pray that this person will never ever be in a position to have an animal in his care again. I am so very very sorry for the devastation that KatoWolf and her family are experiencing along with every other pet lover who entrusted their pet to this person. Oh my god this is awful. This person, who does not deserve to be called a man, is a monster who I'm sure every single one of us hopes will be locked away for his criminal neglect. Please assure us all that they are now at the bridge with this abomination behind them. That they all know that their parents loved them and would never ever knowingly subject them to anything like this. I pray for each and every one of them. I pray that their families can be comforted and consoled. May each and every one of us pray that this absolute catastrophe will never be repeated anywhere on this earth. This is heart wrenching. I cried at the images. I cried for the animals, I cry for the people who loved them so much. How on God's earth could anyone do this?
May each animal and parent involved receive prayers and justice.

Be at peace dear, sweet Nitro.

Wakan Tanka Nici Un Lizzie, Christine and Tom. My deepest heartfelt condolences to you all in this time of great grief for you. May someone with more power than I see that the appropriate justice is fulfilled.
Papa is here for you my Cubster. I will be on at night.
I was only able to look at one picture and I broke down. This battered heart could stand no more.
From where I now sit to where the sun no longer shines I pray this man will be brought to justice.
I spoke to the stars of they who wait last night for a great white wolf and his lil blue eyed sister to take Nitro to the reflecting pond to look down upon his beloved family and Isabelle to see that you were all okay. I hope you took my advice and tried to look your best daughter of the east.
Love and big ole wolf hugs to you all, papa Lobowolf Don

The next time we see our friend the black wolf feeding along the road as we drive by, I will leave an offering in memory of your baby. I hope that the person who did this pays heavily for what he has done. If possible get your Governor involved in the case and the Attorney General. Do not take the no word for an answer. Be persistent. My deepest sympathy and I offer any legal help I can give. Meriam

OMG. I'm speechless. I'm completely horrified. WTF is wrong with people!!!??? My God! I'm in tears and a complete mess after reading this. Poor baby Nitro and poor Liz & family. I cannot even begin to comprehend the pain they are going through right now. That man is a murderer - a sick, sadistic piece of s***. This kind of thing makes me sick. Liz - you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts. I will be thinking about you all. I'm sending you hugs and I'm praying to God to be with you during this time, to provide you strength, faith and hope that the man responsible will pay for his crimes in ways only God can handle. Nitro is at peace, but what a horrible thing to happen to such a beautiful creature. SO undeserving. Don't give up on your case against him - he must pay. I cannot express the words I'm feeling right now - I'm in shock. I'm crying with you my friend. God Bless you, your family and sweet Nitro.

Thank you, GhattenWolf, for bringing this sad news to our attention.
My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to KatoWolf and her family for the unimaginable loss of their Beloved Nitro. It is beyond the realm of understanding how this horrible tragedy could happen, how a human being who was supposedly committed to caring for these dogs could allow this to happen. I want to scream. Dear Liz, I am so sorry. There are no words to describe how badly I feel for you and your family, and for your precious boy. I am joining those who are writing to those authorities you mentioned in the newspaper comments. This monster will get his due, whether it is through the justice system or the Universe - it is inevitable. I cry for you and the other families, and for what your Nitro and their dogs endured. I am so very, very sorry.

I can't even imagine what this is doing to you. You have to know this is in ABSOLUTELY NO WAY your fault. Anyone that knows you and any of us here at petloss knows the compassionate person you are. You have been a Godsend to all of us. Please let us be here for you in any way we can. You and your family are in my prayers. Nitro, please watch over your family, and run and play with all our furangels.

Lizzie my heart goes out to you and your family. I will never understand how anyone could treat an innocent pupper like Nitro they way this monster has.
Ever since Nitro and Bella came into your life, guided by Kato to you to help you heal, you have shared many stories and pictures with me. I could see the love you have for your babies in every word. I know you are a good mum for your babies, cooking for them, going to doggie classes with them. Going swimming with them at the end of summer just before they close the pools on the pupper's day to swim.
I loved seeing the costumes you made for them every year. Only a caring loving Mother would take the time to do what you do for your babies. Please know what happened was not your fault. It is the person's you placed your trust into to watch over your Nitro he failed you. I have an idea how you feel, I left my Tommy with someone, my cousin, she let my boy out of the house in 2005 and he was never found. Till this day I have no idea what happened to my boy. He was afraid of his own shadow and I believe he is now at Rainbow Bridge.
Like you I trusted the wrong person, but that doesn't mean I let my boy down.
As you haven't Nitro.
He was greeted at the bridge by our fur babies; they were lead by a gentle white wolf named Pooky and his brother Kato. They will be there for Nitro as we will be here for you. You have helped many people at Petloss, please let us be here for you now. You are dear to many hearts including mine.
Nitro only remembers the love you give him, he keeps that love wrapped around him like a warm embrace till you can hold him again.
Give a hug for me to your family and let them know they are in my prayers and thoughts. I pray each night that the one who caused this pain is punished. I also know in the end he will be punished by a far mightier hand then ours'.
Hugs from your Sis Jackie
MY BOY
Always in my heart, always in my thoughts
Your sweet smile warms my dreams
I feel you near in the dawn of a new day
I see your eyes shinning back in the eyes of a friend
I feel your touch in a warm hug
You come to me in many ways
In the sun that warms my soul
In the rain that brings heart peace
In my dreams you run free
I see you strong and always mine
My Boy you are my joy, my love
I watch the clouds flow by and see your image
I see you dancing on the clouds
Two hearts bonded are never apart
Love never ending always true and strong
Till the day of reunion I give you my heart
To hold and know you are always part of it
My boy, my joy always and forever

That makes me sick! When I think of going without to make sure there's enough food to feed the ferals outside, and here is this man being PAID!!! to care for these poor dogs, and being GIVEN food for the dog, and this is how it all ends up!!! It's really sickening! I am horrified that this could even happen and the sad truth is that it's happening somewhere else right now! How can anyone be so uncaring! Even if you can't afford to feed these poor babies, I am sure that if you made enough calls to shelters, charities, etc, someone would step in and save their lives. There are enough caring people out there that there is absolutely no excuse for this. Can't afford it is not an excuse. If you can't afford it, how about calling all their families and saying I can't feed them, come and get them. This makes me so mad! I am so, so sorry about Nitro, the poor baby! I'm sure Nitro is at Rainbow Bridge now and has all the food he could ever ask for. And all the other poor babies, may they all romp together at Rainbow Bridge, happy and healthy, and never deprived of anything ever again.

Liz (KatoWolf), I'm so very, very sorry to hear about your beloved Nitro and the other doggies. Nitro knows this wasn't your fault. He is safe at the Rainbow Bridge now, with the other precious dogs, who suffered under this hideous excuse for a human being. Nitro loves you and is forever well now.
But I do hope this monster goes to jail for a very long time! I'd like to see him go without food and water, but of course, that would be "inhumane" (like he was to those sweet babies). This man must come to justice - not only for Nitro and the others, but to maybe prevent this from happening again someplace else.
Sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed with man's inhumanity, I remember once reading a person's "near death experience". This person related that when you left this world, your whole life (good and bad alike) is reviewed. You feel all the pain (as well as the joy too) you caused someone else. I hope this cruel individual feels the all the pain he put these innocent furbabies and their families through. In a world where there seems to be little justice, it helps me to think that these monsters CANNOT escape justice from God.
Deepest sympathy, prayers and (((Hugs))) to you and your family,

I believe in justice of the higher kind and this guy will get it one way or another.

I have sent the letters, signed the petition, talked to my State Rep (PA) and have notified all my friends in rescue and the show circuit of this terrible loss. I have asked them too act, and I know they all will.

Thank you all so very, very much for your beautiful posts. There aren't any words that can explain how I feel, each moment is so very different from the last and there are paths that I am not ready to go down yet - I must stay focused, one moment I’m losing it and the next I have the strength of an army - honestly, it still feels like a really bad dream and any moment I’m going to wake up and see my beautiful boy. But this isn't about me - it's about my boy, it's about all of these babies and they need all of us to demand justice for them. We need to get laws changed - I've always been extremely supportive and generous to many groups, wrote letters, stopped my car to help a dog or kitty even if I didn't know if it would hurt me, volunteered, raised money, helped find homes, made shelter kitty beds - put our pets to sleep when it was the last thing on earth I felt I could do. I feed the birds and squirrels - I don't kill bugs in the house but put them outside - and then I stop myself and ask - why did this happen? How could anyone be this cruel and inhumane? How is this possible? There are no words, there are no excuses and if we as humans don't stand up for them - we aren't much better. We made a very bad decision and it cost my boy his life - I will never ever forgive myself. I would never ever want another baby to suffer as these poor dogs did and I would never want another person to feel as we do - please I urge you to write the letters, make phone calls, tell friends, call organizations - justice must be served. I sincerely thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

Dear Kato/Liz
I have signed the petition and printed the letters, put in my information and signed them. They will go out in the mail on Monday.
My heart goes out to you Liz, I wish I could give you a big hug and we could cry together. I am so sorry for what has happened to Nitro and all the other babies that were there. I can not imagine what you are going through. If someone did that to Boo Boo I honestly do not know. You have helped me so much and I so wish I could help you right now. I hope that you will be able to forgive yourself; it is not your fault. You would of never of left him there if you knew what was going to happen. I will never forgive myself and that is not good. It is killing me. Have hoped I could stop November from coming but it is here. So wish to go back to this time last year and do things different and my baby would still be here now. I hate myself; no one can tell me it is not my fault. Not Dr. Mike, not my daughter and no one in the chat room. Boo Boo is the one person who really loved me and I let him down and for that I will never forgive myself. But Liz this is not your fault you trusted this, I don't even know what to call him. So did many others. The only way for you to blame yourself would be if you did this knowing what was going on, you did not know so it is not your fault. The reason I told you about how I am feeling is because I don't want you to get stuck like I am. Wish I was better with words. Please forgive yourself Liz.
Sending you all my love, will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
(((((((Nitro and Liz)))))))
Hugs, Boo Boo's Mommy

There are a lot of you who do not know me now, as I have been devoting most of my time to building memorial pages on this path I chose to walk so many moons ago now. I truly feel this is a way of helping.
But what I really want to say is this: I am so very very proud of all you petloss people for the way you have supported Lizzie cubster KatoWolf.
For what you have done for me, i thank you all. For what you do for others, I love you.

OMG I cannot believe what I have just read. I have not been able to check in very often lately, and today is the first time I have read the message board in quite a while. I had no idea about Liz (KatoWolf) or Nitro. I just cannot believe what has happened, and I am so so sorry for what Liz and her family must be going through. I will do what Liz suggests - write letters, phone calls, etc. and hope that we all can help make a difference.
Liz, I am so sorry. There just aren't words for what you must be going through. Please know that there are many, many people who love and support you here. I hope that, somehow, knowing that can help you through this.
With big hugs and much love to you and your family,

Oh dear God, I am so very sorry for you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers and please know your precious boy is now out of that horrible man's hands. Small comfort, I know. I pray they sentence him to the fullest measures of the law for such a hateful, selfish, inhumane thing he did to your boy Nitro, and all the rest of those poor pups.
May God ease your pain and soothe Nitro with His gentle hands. I don't know what else to say...I feel your immense pain and cry along with you.

KatoWolf,
I am so speechless right now, I do not know what to say... just (((hugs))).
This is so awful, there are no words to describe the horror of that story, the ugliness of that man's - monster's - soul. He's a man turned monster... It is truly scary when I think about it...
I'm horrified at what your beloved Nitro and all those other beautiful animals suffered at the hand of this very sick man. They're little animal martyrs, if you ask me. Someone mentioned that your Nitro must have a very special place at the Rainbow Bridge. Well, I believe that also.
You know, my husband and I once had our beautiful and gentle cat, Prince, placed in a kennel (for both cats and dogs) for two weeks as we had to go out of town for that long. When we came to pick up Prince two weeks later, he looked sick, he had lost a lot of fur, his tail had almost lost all its fur, he was stressed out, sad. It was awful. Well much later on, that very kennel (and pet shop as there was a pet shop there too) made the news... we were horrified to find out that at that kennel that horrible things were done to animals, especially to puppies. Many were hanged by that monster of an owner right in the back of the kennel/store.
My cat felt and probably witnessed the horror... I am horrified at what might have been the outcome regarding my Prince if we had left him there longer... Poor thing. :( (BTW, that placed was closed down by the authorities, thank God!)
Those monsters should never own kennels/pet shops or even animals. There are horror stories regarding animals regularly around here. How many of these sick people have been arrested for animal abuse and neglect! How many animals suffer like little martyrs because of sick people like that!
Dear Lord, please visit sweet Liz and her husband and comfort them during such a hard time. Please let them know how Nitro is happy in Your Presence and how You are treating him like royalty in Your Kingdom! How precious he is to You! Comfort Liz and her husband as well as all those other pet parents who lost their precious animal to this very sick man. Comfort the others whose pet is sick and dying.
My heart so goes out to you,
-Caroline

For The Innocent
How does one trust again?
How does one believe again?
After so many of the innocent
no longer walk upon this earth
Ones who we thought cared for
for the gentle ones as much
as we did. Were only caring for
themselves.
Shattered hearts that will never
hold again the ones who bonded
with their souls. The thread will
always unite us. But was not
their time to journey to Rainbow
Bridge. How confused they must
of been at that moment not knowing
why. Will we ever know why the
lives of these dear ones were taken?
So many questions left unanswered.
So many tears shed in loss, only memories
to hold near till the time of reunion.
There are times like this when memories
are not enough. Especially when one
was not given the time to make healing
memories.
Oh little ones you are not forgotten.
Many raise their voices for you. Many hearts
weep for you. Calling out for justice
for the ones who only asked for
love in return for enriching
this world.
For the ones who saw only what
was best for them and not the safety
of our babies, our children. You may not
understand now the depth of pain you have
caused, but one day you will. As we have
found out there is never enough tears
shed in grief for the innocent.

Dear Liz,
The one thing you can do for Nitro IS forgive yourself, you need to do this for him and yourself. Nitro knew you loved him and knew you would never hurt him for anything in the world. You had no way of knowing what that awful, soul-less man would do. Please do not blame yourself for something that was done by that evil SOB...I'm sorry, but I am crying and angry that anyone could do something so heinous to your beautiful boy, Nitro, and all those other poor babies.
I pray you find peace and that we can ALL help you find justice for Nitro and all the other babies trusted in this ...God, I can not even call him a man... in his hands. He belongs behind bars and when he leaves this earth...he will not be going to the beautiful place where Nitro waits patiently for you and your husband to one day go home to him. I do believe he is in a beautiful place now and that all the peace, love and serenity of God surround him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and your beloved Nitro. And please, find the forgiveness in your heart for yourself; you could not have known this would happen. God Bless. I will be sending out letters, making phone calls and getting everyone I know to sign the petition, for you, for Nitro and all those babies lost and those still struggling.

A Circle Of Caring
When the darkness closes in and wraps you in its cold grasp
And hope seems a distant thing saved for a privileged few,
When it feels that even one more step is just too much to ask
Keep in your heart there is one more thing that you must do.
Close your eyes, reach with your heart, then - hold up your hand
Allow the hands that care for you to help to hold you steady
There is no storm that together we cannot face and there stand
No foe we cannot conquer, naught for which we are not ready.
And if, needs be, we find our prayers are not answered as we hope,
And our tears flow together for what we had thought was to be,
Then let our love wrap around you like a warm, protective cloak,
And know that love survives all, for all of eternity

Here I am in tears again. This particular story has been haunting me since I first learned about it. I've prayed so many times I've lost count. I've cried tears that only God can explain. I'm just sick about it. I'm mailing the 2 letters and signed the petition today. I'm going to try to get the story on our local news channel. Wish me luck. Sweet Nitro, you're an angel and you have a very special place in my heart. God Bless you sweet boy. Liz - you're in my prayers daily. Big hugs to you my friend.

As long as our animal companions and children do not have rights and are thought of as property this will continue to happen we need much stronger laws

From Up Above
I am in the memories that dance upon your soul
Bringing back to you the love that came from
up above. A love that has never left you.
Gentle raindrops falling upon your face
bringing healing. My touch reaches out to
you as they gently flow.
I know are times you look for me, in the
places we once walked side by side.
I hear the sighs coming from your heart
when you don't see me. Just because
you don't see me doesn't mean i am
not there. Because there is not a step that
you take that I don't take it with you.
There are times you listen for my voice
in the winds. Listen carefully and you will hear
me whisper, I am in the love that came
from up above. To warm your heart.
Our forms may change, but the love
we share remains. Growing stronger
with each new day. Glowing with the beauty
of a sunrise.
Remember for me that love is given
in a heart beat and is
always.

Dear Ghatten:
Thank you for the update on prayers needed for KatoWolf (Liz) and her family. What a terrible and disgusting loss of their beautiful Nitro. It falls in the category of my many questions about "why do bad things happen to good people?"
Liz has been such an inspiration to so many of us here. I will keep her family close in thought and prayer during this difficult time.
We adopted a rescue rottie last year named Molly and just knowing how sweet and endearing they are made Nitro's story even harder to stomach. I hope they are able to get some justice and that the creep who perpetrated such cruel actions is punished to the fullest extent.
Again, please give Liz my best.

Thank you all so very, very much for everything. As I read the beautiful messages and the poems and saw the beautiful pictures I am so deeply touched and I know Nitro is too. You know he also loved to be called "Joey", he loved to be cooked for (favorite was an egg and oatmeal) and brushed. His favorite game was catching bubbles and I never tired blowing them for him. He especially loved chasing them on a very windy day. He would crawl and jump and just have such a great time playing. Sometimes we would even be late for work because we were having so much fun and the time would just slip away. I'm trying hard to remember all the great times we shared; we had so many even though his life was way too short. I never imagined in my wildest thoughts that anything like what has happened would. I still do feel it's a bad dream and I will wake up and see him sleeping in his bed and then we will go play bubbles! I've been keeping so busy trying to stay strong and do whatever I can and I get so disappointed, so angry that there isn't more I am able to do. I keep running into brick walls with various organizations and it's so very frustrating. Last night I wrote to one and I said I never understood why victims stopped fighting - I do now. At times like this we need these organizations to help us, after all we are only 1 family and we're doing all we can. I pray and I've pleaded with them to help us demand justice for all these babies. We are their voices.
We're off to Ohio tomorrow for the pretrial on Thursday. I honestly have no idea how I will sit in the same room. I keep praying for strength.
Thank you for everything.
Love, KatoWolf

Light a candle in memory of Nitro, for all those hurt or lost, for a sick, abused, or special needs furbaby,
or perhaps just someone who needs a prayer and a candle lit.
