I'm in the sooner boom. Terriamn I kind of had the same thing happen to me except that I came home (through the garage doors) turned off my security alarm and smelt gas in the house. I called the hot line and they came out. They said I was lucky that my house didn't explode from the heater kicking on as I was opening the garage doors, turning on the lights and turning off the security system. Come to find out one of my dogs stood up at the counter next to the stove and accidently pushed in on of the knobs and turned it as they were getting down. From that day on, my poor fur babies are locked in the laundry room when I'm not home.
