Default Need advice, Military and dogs

My best friend of 11 years has decided to join the army, and yes she is sure this is what she wants to do. it come as a surprise for us but not for her.
I'm still reeling from shock but our biggest problem, (other then my possible homelessness) is her dog he is old and dose not have a lot of time left,but she will most likely be gone for 5 years when she gets back it is almost a certainty that he will be gone. she was told she would not qualify for off base housing and she cant have him on base (only fish and small rodents). so the decision has been made for him to stay with me, now before you tell me he will adjust, he wont. she once left on vacation for 2 months and he sat at the door and cried he would not eat or drink he ended up at the vet 6 times for massive dehydration he was living on table scraps they could get him to eat.

so dose anyone have suggestions on how to get him to not miss his mommy so much.
oh yeah he is a 12 year old 12 pound Maltese he is blind from cataracts has grade 2 L.P.in his one hind leg has very bad digestion 7 fat deposits on his body and his mother and only sister (from his litter) died of kidney/liver issues

Anyone have any advice for me on how to not freak out my best friend is joining he army?
