Butler University’s mascot Trip announced on Twitter he will be taking on a reduced roll in the coming weeks as he deals with a cyst on his paw and the discomfort that comes with it.
The veterinarian diagnosed Trip, also known as Butler Blue III, with tendinopathy, along with arthritis.
However, via lighthearted tweets, Trip assured his fans this isn’t his idea, but instead is listening to the advice of the humans in his life.
