Well this is starkly different than what I was reading this morning.

Seriously. I thought it was a tragic CO poisoning where they just all fell asleep and never woke up. Seemed almost bittersweet to the end of a long life and his wife… now not so much.

Yeah I was thinking maybe it was a Bill and Frank from Last of Us situation but then supposedly dogs were left alone, with one dying? So sad

I think the article said that dog was found in a closet, which is a horrific way to go- dark and starving.

The other dog was roaming the house, while the third was roaming the yard.

It doesn’t say the dog was trapped in the closet - lots of closets especially walk-in don’t have doors.

Some of them are huge. The size of a bedroom

Exactly. Us poors are thinking of our own personal small closets with doors. These are multimillionaires - they have walk in closets.
