I have a big update to the story of Tubby from Lodi, Wisconsin!
(If you want to, you can read the first diary about him here.)
His court date was yesterday, and we got that firm deadline we've been waiting for-- he has 60 days-- November 16th-- to pay a total of $7350 in back property taxes. Or Columbia County will take possession of the title... and more than likely, Tubby and his doggie family will find themselves homeless.
I am now updating the GoFundMe page I have set up on Tubby's behalf to reflect this new information, which has given me a new campaign goal-- $5000 by October 31st.
Why $5000?
1. Because Tubby already has $3000 cash set aside.
2. Because even though the difference is $4350, I still have to cover GoFundMe's fees and processing.
But I bet you also want to see what Tubby's house looks like, since I finally have PICTURES!
First, the house:
As you can see, it needs a fresh coat of paint; but it's a beauty. I have many happy memories as a young child in Lodi running all over that house.

As you can see, there's plenty of room for a man and his four beloved dogs.
And here they are! The main reason I'm doing what I'm doing here:

I want to thank Gwennedd, rebel ga, Puddytat and Ashes of Roses for giving me some valuable pointers as I undertake this.
Tip and rec for beloved four-legged families everywhere!

Misty's a little more camera shy than the other three...
