My precious Toby had to cross rainbow bridge not even three weeks after Jaxsin had to

My heart has broken again. Not even three weeks ago I had to put down my cat Jaxsin of 2years from stomach issues and now I had to put down my precious Toby after 15 great years. I wish more people could’ve known Toby. He was definitely one of a kind. He went through four buddies of his own and now he’s resting with three of them all in a row together again at the farm. Even people that hated cats loved Toby. I wish I could tell you all what that cat had done for me through the years. He moved with me three times to Minneapolis and I was looking forward to him going to Colorado with me. I’m gonna miss his Eskimo kisses every morning and all of his snuggles. I wish you all knew how special he was to me and far more than just a pet. I’ve never been alone without a pet in my life until today and waking up this morning not anybody here to greet me or to talk to me at all during the day is tuff. He helped me through so many difficult times and I’m gonna miss him forever. He was our sweet boy. After Jaxsin passed Toby just went downhill and they think he had cancer. This is tough one to lose like my dog Tuffy. And with me traveling again and maybe moving it’s not a good time to get a new fur baby. It’s gonna be a very hard adjustment being by myself for the first time in my life.
I want to thank Dr. Audrey Robi with Hugs At Home for coming to my house and letting Toby go peacefully in my arms where he was comfortable and happy and helping me through it.
We will miss you buddy I will never forget you!♥️

After my arms were reattached all the skin was shredded so they took skin off my legs. They take like a cheese slicer and just run it down my leg and take a layer skin off and lay it over my arms where I had no skin. I later had all these scars removed in other surgeries. I will be showing other pictures of my arms on my sub because they keep getting taken down. I have a picture of my arms lying on a table before they attach them to me. Follow me so you don’t miss it.

I can still do things after having my arms ripped off and reattach. I wanted a smooth ceiling so I took down the popcorn. The plaster underneath is cracked and wavy so I have to rehang drywall. Doing as much of the remodeling as I can on my own. This is just one of many projects I’m working on. 💪🏠

I may not do it the way you do it or how professional does but I still have quite a bit of use and I don’t let the disability stop me.

Jaxsin had to cross the rainbow bridge today. He would’ve been two years old next month. The day I brought him home he puked in my car and he’s been throwing up ever since. I tried many different foods taking him to the vet and they couldn’t find anything except ways to bill me. He was going to have an exploratory surgery tomorrow that was $1200 or more and I just couldn’t keep spending money on him like that especially if they couldn’t find anything wrong. He lost almost 3 pounds in the last couple months.  So I had to make the decision to end his discomfort.  I feel very bad for Toby because this is the fourth friend he’s lost. When I got Toby, he and my other cat were together about 10 years but at 18 years old had a stroke. Then I got another one and that one died of liver failure. Then I got another one and that cat just wouldn’t quit meowing and I could not sleep at all and was rehomed. Then I got Jaxsin as a kitten from a farm and he just been sick the entire time.  Toby has never been alone one day since I got him 13 years ago. I just feel bad he keeps losing his friends. We will miss our Jax but hope he is better off now. I took him back to the farm to our constantly growing pet cemetery.  Im just sorry I couldn’t keep paying vet bills. And I was worried this would just be a continuous thing for his life and that’s just not fair to him.
