What's This About Tripods?

  • The Backstory
    My dog Lulu was diagnosed with bone cancer in her left hind leg in August of 2006. Within a week her leg was removed and biopsied to show that she had a type of cancer called osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma is one of the most common bone tumors and it is estimated that at least 6,000 new cases are diagnosed in dogs each year in the United States.

    With her painful leg removed, Lulu's next hurdle was to go through chemo. Luckily dogs are not affected by chemo the way humans are, only feeling drowsy the day of treatment. She received chemo once a day, every 2 weeks for 6 sessions. While this is not a cure, it will delay the cancer's spread, doubling (and possibly tripling) her life span. Without chemo she'd only have 4 to 5 months, with she had just shy of three years.

    As you can imagine all this was expensive. I spent a grand total of over $10,000. I put everything on my credit cards without thinking twice, but once the bills starting coming in I realized I needed a plan. I asked my awesome friend Eric Siry to design a logo to put on T-Shirts and tote bags. The goal was to eliminate my debt; the dream was to make more than I need in order to help other animals and their owners who cannot afford expensive procedures and treatments. We've reached our dream! But now we're looking to sell even more shirts so we can start handing out checks to those in need. Buy something from the tripod store and show your support for all animals -- four, three, two, and even one-legged!
