So I work in HVAC, and an elderly lady (easily in her 80’s)came to our office this afternoon because she said her furnace wouldn’t shut off, and wanted to get her dog out of the house because it was really hot. I overheard her talking with a coworker, and volunteered to go by her house to see what was going on. I assumed she was fiddling with the thermostat and couldn’t see, or figure what she had done. She was not in our data base of customers, so we needed to get her information. When asked where she lived she didn’t know the name of the town, but she pointed in a direction and told us if we named a few towns to the south she would be able to tell us which one it was.

*****Warning*****
Now we are obviously starting to think she has some memory issues. She said her dog was in the car, so I go to the rear door and look in the backseat to see if the dog is alright, maybe it needed some water? She goes to the rear door on the opposite side, reaches in and pets the dog on the head and tells me how good the dog is. What I saw/smelled wrapped up in a blanket was the carcus of a dog that my guess had been dead for at least a couple weeks. When we tried to politely tell her that her dog was no longer living she got very upset and told us she would fight anyone that said her dog was dead. We called the police, and the officer then called for an ambulance to have the woman examined.


I feel just awful for this woman.
