    That’s much more horrible than the early speculations. The poor dogs.

      Indeed, that’s IMO the most horrifying part. It sounds like Gene himself may have been too far gone mentally to be suffering, but that poor dog suffered greatly.

      I live alone and even though I’m perfectly healthy I bought self-filling water and food dishes for my dog and I make sure they stay topped up. If my brain were to abruptly explode someday for some unknown reason I want to be sure she’ll be okay for however long it takes for my friends to come over and check on why I’m not answering any communication.

        I told my dog that if I die she can eat my face.

        Meanwhile, my cats have probably already agreed on how to divvy up my corpse.

          I have one cat.

          Hes extremely talkative. Even at night.

          One day I realized he’s checking to see if he can eat me yet

            My ex husband died in his trailer and they rushed his autopsy because of wounds on his body. Turns out the wounds were from his cats, who were starving.

            His ‘neighbours’ came and stole a bunch of his stuff but couldn’t be bothered to feed the cats or notify the cops.

            Humans are nasty creatures.

        Sweden loves to have all their data publicly available. There are some sites that aggregate this, which is a bit of a legal grey area. Anywho, anyone can look me up and find that I own my house, what vehicles I have and that I have two dogs.

        I’m hoping the authorities would look me up and do a welfare check on the dogs if both me and my SO were wiped out in a car crash or something.

        We’ve had a way oversized bowl of water out since the Mrs was pregnant, just in case her health would have to take priority (also the neighbours were on standby to take care of the dogs). Plus extra bowls around the house. They shouldn’t go thirsty for at least a week.
