In Memory of Tristan

[rusty_armour]

My mom's cat had to be put down today. After performing a biopsy, the vet discovered that poor Trissy had cancer, so my mom decided to have him put to sleep rather than prolong his suffering. Although he was only ten, I think Tris had a good life. He was certainly loved and filled a special place in all our hearts. I know my whole family is going to miss him terribly.

In memory of Tristan, I'd like to post a link I've been meaning to post for weeks. I first saw it on mangst's LJ and wanted to include it among my other links. The Animal Rescue Site provides food to animal shelters throughout the States. By clicking on the purple "Fund Food for Animals" button, you can help fund this program. Each click is tallied by the site servers. When you reach the "Thank You" page (after clicking on the purple button), you are shown some ads from the site sponsors. That's all there is to it. So, in memory of Tristan (or any pet you may have lost), click that purple button!

Now, I realize that some of the more cynical people on my flist probably think this is a scam, but, as far as I can tell, it's legit. In any case, I'm going to include the URL with my links. I'll probably also post the link for The Literacy Site, as literacy is an issue that's close to my heart. Oh, and at some point, I'll try to dig up some Canadian equivalents for these sites.

I'm sorry for the loss of Tristan. My heart goes out to you and your family during this sad time. My family lost our beloved dog, Jade, two years ago now, and we still miss her very much.

I remember you mentioning Jade. I'm sorry your family had to lose him. Pets are members of the family and their absence continues to be felt no matter how much time passes.

I think letting us know about the Rescue Site is a great way to honour Tristan having been loved and a part of your family. I'll definitely be adding the link to my bookmark list so I can try to click on it regularly.

I'm glad you agree that promoting the Rescue Site is a fitting way to honour Tris. It would be awesome if you could add the link to your bookmark list! Thank you very much! :-) I added the URL to my own list of links so that I'd be able to click on it regularly too.
