I know of a person who died and this was unnoticed for a week. A neighbor finally called someone they knew had been his friend. Police had to break in. He was found dead in the living room. He had no pets. Must not have been a pretty sight. Lots of people have keys to my house. No - I don't attend church. I am one of those spiritual but not religious types.
I feel fine, but am 63 and had a heart valve repaired in 2003. You never know. Not really worried about me - if I go I go. It's my pups I am concerned about.
