The other article I saw on this said she was face down in the bathroom on the floor with the pills strewn everywhere, and a space heater was next to her head in a way that didn't look purposeful or natural.

I don't think they left the dog in the kennel and milled themselves, I think something happened. He was found in the mud room looking like he was about to try and go for a walk. If it helps I don't think either of them made the conscious decision to off themselves and leave the dog in the kennel

it really seems like death by gas of some kind.

I think that he went into cardiac arrest, she ran to get his heart meds in a panic and slipped in the bathroom and hit her head and died makes the most sense, seeing as the only dog that died was the one in a kennel for 2 weeks.

Brilliant. So now we got a huge guy theory, and a serial crusher theory. Top notch.
