My mom expects her dog, Cocoa, won't outlive the day.

This is somewhat expected.  Cocoa has had a heart condition and chronic bronchitis, we've known for a couple of months.  Sure, there's stuff the vet can give her but...  just prolonging the inevitable, and the dog would be struggling the whole way so...  Like I said in the title.

Sounds a bit morbid maybe but I'm ok with it, she's had a good life.  More concerned for my mom; I know she'll be fine in the not-too-long run, but she's always been more attached to the dog than I.


UPDATE:

It's done.  We buried her with a handful of treats because she loved to eat... right up to the end.  Heck when the vet saw the X-rays he said he would've thought she'd be skin and bones but...

Vets were all very sympathetic, etc.  I wasn't the one who needed it.  Almost thought my mom'd ask me to drive home.  Nah, I just did the ditch-digging.

R.I.P. Cocoa.
