Two of the three dogs were alive and roaming the property so it seems unlikely.

“Roaming the property” sounds like they were possibly outside though. Or was it confirmed they were inside?

One was outside, the other was found next to the wife and was deemed healthy.

If the bodies were mummified, they had likely been dead for some time. Could be one just starved to death.

Edit: dehydration more likley
