I don't know all the details, but I just got word from Mike's Mom that Toughy went to the bridge today...I know he had lots of friends here who would want to know. Our hearts are breaking for Mike and his family...

These pictures were passed along with permission to post...

Please accept our sympathies. It obviously was a difficult battle but hopefully he's resting comfortably.

Seeing what Micheal and Toughy could do together gave me hope and inspiration when I was learning to train Moe. My deapest sympathies to Mike and his family.

So sad to hear about Toughy. You have been around since we started on the forum (I believe you might have even written a birthday ditty for Jake). Maizy and Jake are sending sweet slobber remembrances.

Farewell, Toughy. Sometimes the fight is just too much and the last hurdle too hard to get over. We enjoyed living vicariously through Toughy's exploits. He sure knew how to show people that bassets are NOT just lazy dogs with big ears! Rest in peace.

Toughynutter has written his last post. Carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders proved too heavy a burden.

Mike, I am deeply sorry for the loss of Toughy. What a spectacular hound he was. You two were truly blessed to have had each others company.

Thanks for posting the pics of him in action, what a wonderful tribute to a very special boy.

(((Mike)))
