I often think of the wisdom of dogs. My eldest bitch is dying... well dying in the sense that her health is failing. Congestive heart failure... at a youngish age probably due to her spaniel heritage catching up with her. She feels fine currently. Medication controls much of the problem. but no mistake she is dying.
The problem presented with a cough that would not quit followed by collapsing when she came in from outside. Turns out she was fainting. She would wake confused but not distraught. The vet fixed the cough, and she will be a four pill a day dog from here on out. Odds are however she will likely be dead within two years.
I am not going to do anything special other than dose her twice a day. She will live life as she always did, play with her toys, and chase her daughter and granddaughter. Live well without apology little dog and may the end be sudden and knowing love.
