Hauntavirus come from rodents, how awful she passed away 6 days before he did AND he had Alzheimer’s what a horrible situation!!!
They lived way out in the hills I am quite sure there were many rodents around!! Then to top it all off the poor dogs locked in a closet just a horrible situation!!
My friend in Arizona had mice in his garage, with a lot of droppings, and used a WETVAC to clean it up, and the EXHAUST AIR gave him the virus.....he was ill for weeks!!
I keep wondering about their kids, I think I read 2 of them? Why had they not been in touch more knowing decline of dad, and possibly, if they kept in touch weekly or so, that mom was sick?
Maybe I’m old fashioned thinking but most adult kids I know check in routinely with elderly parents. and I f more than one kid sometimes they space contact between them so multiple calls per week-ish?
I feel bad for the dog too, stuck in cage.
Very sad that many elderly either stubbornly choose to live not near relatives or have someone check on them frequently, or “don’t want to be a burden to kids or anyone” making unfortunate things happen, no one knows til way too late.
One of the saddest stories ever.
