She was t herself at all at work so I asked if she was ok.
She said that she wasn’t ok and that her dog had been diagnosed with cancer.

I offered sympathy as you do.

We remote work & she is on line today… do I ask how she is, ask about the dog??

I don’t know what the routine is in these circumstances.
Im not a dog owner or lover so I don’t get it but want to be kind obviously.

So what’s best?
We are not great pals or anything like that but do work together quite a bit.

Tricky. Personally I wouldn't want to be reminded of it at work, if I was caught off-guard I might get upset at work and would really hate everyone to see that. You could ask her privately in a few days once the news is a bit less raw.
