Default Mickey went to the Bridge tonight

Hello Everyone,

We had to let him go. We have fought hard for 2 and a half years with his epilepsy and lost the battle. He had a seizure last night and after we noticed he was having a hard time breathing.

After calling the neurologist, we took him to her to be hospitalized. She examined him and told us he has an infection in his lungs. She did not think he would make it through the night.

Letting him go was the hardest decision my husband and I have ever faced. He was our angel and we loved him so.

Take comfort that he is not suffering, but know that he loved you, his wonderful master, very much. Time will make it easier, but he will always hold your heart!

I'm still getting to know a lot of the bassets on this board, but still feel the sadness whenever one is lost. I am so sorry to hear he has left us. It's never easy, no matter what the circumstances are. He sounds like he was very loved and had a good family, and that's all a dog ever really wants. Keep your happy memories first and foremost in your mind and share them with those who knew him. It really does help you get through the sad times. Much love to you
