Yesterday at 20:15 CET my lovely dog Benji has been put to sleep. This all begun three days ago when I returned home after his daily walk. The next day he didn't even had the strength to stand on his own. Me and my dad went straight to the vet to check what was wrong. After a x-ray the vet stated that he was suffering from 'moisture behind the lungs' (Don't know what the right words in English). He also had a lot of moisture inside his longs which made him use only 1/10 of his long capacity. This really came as a shock to me because he was perfectly fit two days before and didn't gave me any sign of exhaustion. So he stayed the night at the vet with a machine providing extra oxygen. The next day I got a phone call from the vet saying he was able to stand again and was even able to drink, my day couldn't be better. But a few hours later I got a new phone call from the vet telling me he puked it all back out and that he was back at the beginning. Then the vet wanted to make another x-ray to make sure there wasn't anything else going on. On the next x-ray we saw he had a tumor inside his stomach which almost filled his whole stomach. Benji was aged 13 and it wouldn't be fair to him to suffer from all this pain, he would also most likely not survive the operation so the only option was to put him to sleep. This was the hardest decision I had to take in my whole life. I had thirteen great years with him and wouldn't replace him for another dog in the world, will love you forever Benji ;'( <3.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say goodbye to ET. My new internship is starting next week and I'm starting to play football (Soccer) again at my old club now that I'm recovered from my injury which I got a few years ago. Together with the gym and other stuff I simply don't have time to play active anymore. Besides that, ET bored me out :P. I would like to thank all the people I played with the last couple of years and especially the people I met on all the LAN's. I'll still check crossfire every now and then and play some StarCraft2 with the Mortal guys. I will alsol finish the remaining two summercup matches with baserace.et. I wish you guys the best with the upcoming cups and ET itself, it really were some great times :)
Goodbye, Ati_

RIP. :(
btw, I'm not good with medical terms but is "moisture behind the lungs" referring to pneumonia?
and
YES RIP TO RANDOM RNADES!:D
love you tim<3
now he's in dog heaven with our 2 dogs, havin fun!
* Laturrr irritante rifle :D
happened almost the same to my dog :(
my stafford turned 14 today, no probs at all, runs and looks like a 4 years old dog, good genes i guess :d
imagine what would happen if you get another injury, you might as well reserve a nice burial spot
But nice SLAC-Dodge!:-P
or was it Killerboy with his cg_crosshairx/y = 0...?
hopen dat alles heel blijft
maar ff tussendoor, welke blessure had je?
my dog died after 15 years, had liver cancer (liver was looking like a swiss cheese), but i didnt post it on cf because i simply think its just retarded.
gl in your football team.
Dog is really the man's best friend. Too bad dog's life is so short :(
my cat died a few weeks ago, she was 13 too, and had like 3 different sorts of cancer :(( a big tumor and all that stuff.
she lost a lot of weight during the past year, and in june we went to see the vet, and got this disappointing news.
i felt very bad, cuz i couldnt see her, after my parents told me, i didt saw her since april, but my parents just live too far away, and i had to study much :((
she died only about one week, before i would see her again :((
i was depressed for a long time.
this is what i made, to show my feelings for my sweety: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIRXNRSWqeo
at first i didnt want to go to berlin (parents live there) before september, but i went there 7th august, but then she died 10 days earlier :((
it was such a nice day, cuz it was my grannies 75th bday, i met my sis again and all that, but then my parents called in the evening, this was not what u want to hear on such a day.
and thx, i felt like i had to do something for her :D
i dont have many printed pics of her, but like hundreds of pics on my computer, so i made this vid.
gl in the future :D
but after what i heard of my parents, she prepared herself for "it"
the last 2 days, she was lying on the neighbours yard the whole day, in the evening my father picked her up, and she hardly had the power to breath.
cuz that freaking tumor was as big as the vet's fist, which is quite much, cuz she had only 2,6kg in the end and she died in my fathers arms :(
but when i talked to my mate tites, he said, that maybe if u got a good realtionship, you may not see if something is different, if u dont want it to see. maybe hes right.
when i was little my mother got me a cat and basically i grew up with him being simply my own cat.
last year it kinda hit me out of nowhere when a dog broke into our garden an hunted him down and bite him into his ass.
the doctor had to take off one of his legs and a few further bones were broken.
after three days at the doctor he decided to give up and stopped breathing by his own. was the hardest day in my life although people not having a pet would probably never understand that.
at least i had the pleasure to dig him his very own grave in our garden.
i hope you have plenty of pics of him and may he rest in peace :)
but actually you always know a pet wont be with you for all your life.
its just that its totally worth it taking this fact and have 13 wonderful years with him at your side in return...
beasty was 13 as well btw :]
and the most famous thing he ever did was giving our beloved team austria member a nickname :D (its really because of my cat :))
Edit: although it may not seem like a place to post this kind of stuff, does not mean u have to be an inconsiderate prick. I will carry on deleting any other stupid comments and may even go further.
1e een duitse herder pebbles, was 13 jaar geworden. Zij stierf aan kanker dat was doorgezaait in haar hele lichaam, dit was de eerste en de laatste keer dat ik mijn vader zag wenen.
2e een jack russel kobus, was 14 jaar geworden en had tetanus/klem, hij kon zijn bek niet meer openkrijgen.. We waren op vakantie in Italie, de dierenarts daar gaf hem een paar weken, hij bleef nog 3 maand bij ons. Ik zag de dierenarts hem het spuitje geven en hij moest zo nodig plassen, dat toen hij het spuitje kreeg alles los liet gaan. :(((
3e een rotweiler kruising fox terrier sorbonne, was 5 jaar geworden. Ze had kanker die haar hele heup weg had gevreten, maar nog steeds rennen en springen alsof er niets aan de hand was. zelf toen ze geen heup meer had nog steeds lopen zonder ook maar een keer te janken of wat dan ook.
Geeft me altijd nog tranen man...
im really moved by your text.. my dog is soon 9 ,idk without him it would be disaster.
RIP
Good luck in the future.
