(Or because they're the only beings in her life who can't say "What you wrote about me is a big fat lie" and it's hard to let go of that.)

How many animals does she have left, now?

We have a cat that has to have special food--canned venison, no less--and when it's mealtime we put her food on a dish in a rarely-used bedroom and shut the door. Then we feed the other cat her standard fare. After half an hour we open the bedroom door and they change places so they can lick each other's empty bowls. Why on earth would Liz have to put one dog outdoors in a Yorkshire winter for her meal? It's hard to imagine that anyone would be that lacking in imagination. The poor dog, outdoors . . . it's downright Dickensian.

The bedroom cat has a tendency to pull things across her bowl in order to hide any tasty scraps (which is pretty silly, since she never leaves any). Recently she's found the box where I keep menstrual pads and tampons for younger female guests who may be unprepared. Recently Bedroom Cat has taken to pulling menstrual pads out to cover her dish. The thing is, the other cat never disturbs them in order to get to the imaginary tasty treats underneath.”

Aren't they funny

I go nocturnal from time to time. Would be bored stupid in the small hours without the internet to keep me distracted!

As usual, her description of how she "saved" the dog doesn't exactly jibe with the reality:

I read it all during the bit when I was awake and trying to see if I could calm one of our 2 rescue cats. We're having a bit of a problem with her during the night but to be fair to her, we based our decision on what we were told about her which may not have been accurate and they've been here less than 3 weeks so she might settle down.

Older cats can be noisy at night as they too get dementia. I also have those little plug in nightlights (for me, as much as the cats!).

Liz wants pet animals as company, but that has to include discipline, routine, proper food (NOT M&S prawns, which contain far too much fat for a cat), daily onceover to check all is ok all over. In a sense, a cat is as dependent on you as a young child would be - thank God she's not a mother!

At 10.30pm, she closed her laptop and saw the blood, yet she called the emergency vet at 10.22pm.

So what, she had a premonition then....??!

Notice in the dreary comments a comment from 'hamble' in Somerset , in defence of their care of Hilda.
Also I noted that my comment did not make it through moderation!

Well, there's a surprise! Don't think mine will, either - about her horrible rudeness to the vet or vet's receptionist: 'I will destroy you'! By which I imagine she meant she'd try to trash the veterinary practice's reputation in print, like she has tried to do the same to so many others.

I love my pets and would rush them to the vet without delay, very upset, if something like that happened to them.

But I can't help compare Liz's attitude when her ailing elderly dog takes a turn for the worse with her attitude towards her ailing elderly fiance, whose implied ill-health and limited mobility a while back were couched purely in terms of their inconvenience to her.

Guarantee next week or the week after, the Dreary will involve David sending her a text in relation to the Hilda loss, and endless navel gazing on whether or not they are still in a relationship.

According to what I just read on their page it was a routine adoption, which am glad happened, but why FFS lie about it ?

Wasn't this weekend meant to be The Wedding?

My inherent love of dogs did make me sad to read about the demise of Hilda. But, and it's a big but, I cannot imagine ever speaking to anyone - even at my most stressed and worried, including when my father was dying of cancer - in the manner which LJ apparently used when speaking to the vets' out of hours service. Harridan screeches of "destroy you"?

"Hamble" of Somerset (comments/today's Diary) appears to know an awful lot about the departed dog and its last days. Rather strange.

And LJ flagged down Nic? Hasn't she moved?

None of the above is to belittle the fact that the dog was riddled with hitherto undedected cancer and a responsible decision was reached...which is heart-breaking, as I know only too well.

While I can understand her panic at Hilda's bleeding, I was absolutely appalled by the way she spoke to the vet's receptionist. Nothing could excuse that. And if she uses the same vet in Richmond as I do, who is one of the best around, then all I can say is they are utter saints to keep her on their books if that's how she speaks to them, and she's very lucky indeed.

I've only been reading LJ for a few years. Has she always been so horrid to every single person she encounters? It seems like she's getting worse and worse when it comes to her vile attitude.

"Hamble" is Nic. She's just confirmed it on the replies to her original comment.

Oh, do you feed the foxes too, Ade_Lw? Me too, in urban, busy Islington (yup, where Jones used to live).

We have a pretty little communal courtyard, with lawns and a fountain and the foxes love it - they drag the chucked-down containers partly full of takeaway food (people are so filthy, chucking down litter everywhere, it's depressing) to eat in peace and quiet in the courtyard, well away from traffic. (Now, if only the foxes would take their leftover food containers away afterwards and put them in a dustbin, instead of leaving them all over the lawns ....) They also use the courtyard for, um, love-making! Usually in the early hours of the morning. First time I saw it from bedroom window, I was so alarmed, by the shrieks and what I saw ... thought something was wrong, so rushed down and Googled foxes' mating habits and all was explained - absolutely normal (won't go into details here!)

Anyway, I digress ... in the GPs' surgery I use, there is a notice warning about threatening or insulting the staff, especially the receptionists. I imagine most veterinary practices would have a similar 'no tolerance' attitude. But of course, being Jones ... were I the vet in question, or the unfortunate person Jones shrieked at, I'd be carefully considering a complaint. Of course I am very sorry about the death of the dog - lost my own beloved cat to cancer about a year ago.

Wonder if Jones fed foxes when she lived in Gibson Square, Islington? What a shame she didn't stay there, instead of inflicting such a lot of misery on, first, people in Somerset and now in Richmond. And just think HOW MUCH her Islington house would be worth now ... (sorry, not sniggering/gloating - glad I kept my house though!)

I beg to differ. Nic is nowhere near that literate. Saying "This is Nic" doesn't mean it actually is.

You don't need to be terribly literate to transcribe a piece of text or a script, but it probably is her, tired of being lumped in with someone who appears clueless about animal care.

Because it sounds more dramatic, and makes Liz sound more heroic, if she claims that she smuggled Hilda out of the country wrapped in a sweater (LOL - like she wouldn't be caught at customs? I don't think it's illegal to bring animals from Romania since it's part of the EU and they're required to have the same safeguards that we do, but still, they'd probably expect her to declare it)

The Mail are pathetic for letting her comment while blocking others. Why do they give LJ such special treatment? She must know where the bodies are buried. There is no other justification.

To be fair to the person posting as 'hamble', she does at least seem to know about dogs in their last few weeks.

My dog has an abdominal tumour which shows up as liver issues on the blood tests. He's on drugs which are keeping him happy, waggy tailed and with a full appetite.

I could have him scanned and operated on, but what is the point? Having had quite a few dogs with cancer, I will know when it is time for him to go.

She's 8 and we were told she'd always been a housecat. Judging by the crying at the windows and kitchen door for hours on end during the day and a large part of last night, we're not sure this was true. She seems desperate to get outside but we can't have a cat flap fitted here and there's no other way we can let her come and go as she pleased. (The flat's on a leashold and we're only allowed house cats, no dogs).

I'm tempted to test the leashold terms as we're owner occupiers and I've now got one very unhappy cat. We may have to let her go back to the rescue society.

(Sorry if I've hi-jacked the thread but there are some very wise pet-owners on here and I'm really down about this. Had cats and dogs all my life but this is a problem I've never had to face before.)

Who knows if she was/is really that aggressive in real life.
God I hope not.
If true then it's sickening and vile. I think in her mind she rates that ultra stroppiness as humorous, so funny, oh off she goes again, ha bloody ha. Really ???
I don't think it's funny. Does anyone else think it's all abit of a laugh when someone abuses another person for trying to do their job ?
So yeah, think we must all be missing the point when it comes to the infamous Lizbot sense of humour. Even in the saddest moments there it is again, shouting and threatening the vets staff. Sorry but I just don't get the joke.

I wonder if her claims are actually things she WISHES she'd said. I bloody hope so for the sake of those she comes into contact with. I remember she was quiet as a mouse when I saw her on Celebrity Big Brother and we all know she lies her pants off pretty much every time she puts pen to paper.

I don't know about strangers, but she definitely wasn't terribly nice to some of the people who had the misfortune to be working under her as she ascended to the dizzying heights she thinks she achieved. Classic take temper out on the minions type stuff but she admits she pinned the rap over something on an underling and got them fired, when she was the one responsible. Also her creative editing of a celebrity interview wrecked someone's career and made them unemployable in the UK. So they pissed off to the US and did brilliantly there
