I’m scared for the day my dog will die

I love my dog. She is a pint sized hazel and black Shih Tzu who is three years old and I love her a lot. Recently I have been thinking though, these thoughts come in randomly and really mess up my day. She’ll die. I’ll outlive her. It scares the shit out of me. I’m scared one day I’ll find her dead. I’ll find her body lifeless. The dog once filled with energy and love for me and my family gone. I’m scared she’ll be napping and pass away in her sleep and I’ll never get to say my goodbyes. I’m scared she’ll be in accident. I’m so scared for her. I don’t want to live in a world where she doesn’t wake me up with her nuzzles. Or the way she would get a little bit irritated I won’t give her the ham from my sandwich. I’ll miss the way she’d run up to me as soon as I got home from work. I’m so scared. I’m so scared she’ll be gone. I’m so scared of how she’ll die. I’m so scared I’ll never get to say goodbye. I’m so scared to leave her alone to sleep because I’m afraid I’ll come back and find her dead.

How do I learn to live in the moment when I can’t? When I know if I continue to get attached it’ll crush me so deeply. When I know someone I love very much will die and I can’t do anything? When I can’t accept my fluffy little dogs mortality? I’m so scared. I can’t live in the moment if I get attached it’ll only crush me more and more.

Please help.
