Happy Ampuversary!

[Lulu chills out on her special day]

Today marks Lulu's one-year anniversary as a tripod. I cannot believe it's already been a year, though at the same time I can't believe it's only been a year. For instance, when I see photos of Lulu with four legs I think she looks weird. Funny how we all get accustomed to change.

On a more serious note, I can't believe we've made it to a year. I mean, I'm not surprised since Lulu is the toughest bitch to set three legs on the ground, but osteosarcoma doesn't have the best track record. I feel very lucky to still be able to spend my days with this little lady.

To another year! And another shirt! I recently got our new cat design from Amanda Vissel, a wickedly talented illustrator. You guys are going to die when you see this logo. I just wanted to eat it up. The shirts are getting to the printer in the next week or two (they're back ordered), which means I should have cat shirts by mid- September. They'll be printed on a light heather blue this time around, which you can see here in the photos at the bottom of the page. Stay tuned!

It's a Bird, It's a Plane... It's a Tripod!

Here are some photos from tripod fans.

Krysta ready to skydive in style!

Buddy showing off his 3-legs, T, and stoner style.

Thea rocking her T in the great outdoors.

And Sofia, a dead ringer for Jennifer Aniston, don't you think?

SLASHING LIMBS AND PRICES!!

Since I've made my goal of paying off my debt I've lowered prices on shirts, tanks, and totes. That doesn't mean that I'll be ending this project any time soon. Rather since money isn't as much of an emergency I want to sell the shirts at a more reasonable price. Hopefully this will get more people to buy and we can make even more money to give to the next broke ass animal. Spread the word! Or if you've worn out your original, splurge for another.

Also remember, there will be a new cat version soon.

I Heart Tripods on The Daily Show -- Well, Almost

Yesterday my awesome friend Justine took me to a taping of The Daily Show. After waiting in line for 2.5 hours we got into the studio, took our seat, and waited for the man of the hour (or should I say half hour) to come out for a Q & A.

During the thirty minute wait in my seat, I started to get really anxious. I had decided to raise my hand during the Q & A and was starting to panic. I'm not good with public speaking, let alone public speaking with a person I admire.

Finally Jon Stewart came out and started chatting with the audience. After a few questions from the crowd I finally raised my hand. "Yes," he said pointing to me.

"I don't have a question, but I have a present," I yelled.

"What?"

"I don't have a question, but I have a present for you!" I screamed.

"Oh, but I didn't get you anything." [insert laughter here] "What did you get me?" He was pretty nervous at this point. I think he thought I had made him some kind of shrine in his honor or something.

"I brought you a shirt."

"What kind of shirt?"

I then pointed to the shirt I myself was wearing, my "I Heart Tripods".

He made a weird sex joke and I had to explain it was actually a shirt in honor of my dog. He was relieved and then told me that his wife is actually a vet tech and brings home pity cases from the hospital (which made me want to meet her. She sounds as crazy as me!)

In the end I had to hand the shirt off to a security guard so who knows if he'll actually take it home, but I'm crossing my fingers that he does. Maybe he'll even get snapped by that paparazzi wearing it out and about!

If anyone sees him strutting his stuff in this fashion must-have let me know.
