<human>: My husband and I learned in February that our precious dog has nasal carcinoma, a form of cancer in the nasal cavity. The cancer is terminal; there is no chance of curing it. We think she has a few more months left — at most, a year. 

We have her on chemotherapy medication (we declined radiation, it would be too stressful for her), and in the past week or so, we have added some pain medication. We are working with our vet to make sure her pain is properly managed. The chemotherapy meds will only slow the spread of the tumor, but it won't stop it or cure it.

What can we do to make the last few months or year of her life the absolute best they can be?

Here's what we do now:

* Three walks a day, 20-40 minutes each
* Treats more frequently than usual
* Instead of just kibble, we are now giving her really good quality wet food in addition to kibble
* A lot more human food than usual (so far, her stomach has not been upset)
* Hikes in the forest as often as we can manage it (probably once every three weeks)
* As much affection and love as we can spare

She is about 10 years old and she has lived the past three years in our house with us. (We don't know what the first seven years of her life were like; we got her from a shelter.)

Does anyone have any other ideas on how we can make her life as good as it possibly could be? I would be especially interested to hear from people who have recently have had to put their dog down.

When we think she can't handle the pain anymore, we are planning on having home euthanasia — our dog absolutely hates the vet and we can't imagine her leaving this world at the vet's office. We love her so, so much, and we want to do everything right for her. Any advice you have would be much appreciated.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I am looking for ideas on how to improve my dog's quality of life for the next few months before her cancer becomes too much for her to bear.
