Liz Taylor's quiet life with her dogs

The Guardian Unlimited has a rather sad and melancholic story about Liz Taylor. At 73, she lives in a home that is a veritable private hospital, "complete with nurses and a strict regime of drugs and treatments for a body now racked by age and illness."

As should come to no surprise to those of use who are pet lovers, Liz finds companionship in her dogs. The article says, "Taylor's routine appears to revolve around her dogs" in addition to television and visiting friend on the phone. "She watches soap operas and the shopping channel, usually accompanied only by her pet dogs."

The article notes that she will be presented with a Bafta award for excellence at a star-studded Hollywood event on November 10th. "It will be moving, but because she is beset by poor health, it could also be one of her last high-profile public appearances."

Liz is a true American icon, and we wish only the best and hope she continues to find companionship and love in her pets.
