Eva, Droopy is 8 (I thought she was 11, but her rabies certificate shows she was born in 2005, so Bill, Gene and Joe, Cheryl got one right ). So far, it's really hard to tell how she's doing, as it normally takes her a couple of days to decompress from the kennel. She did eat tonight, so that's a good sign.

But this year it was also unsettling. The interior of the tomb is in desperate need of repair. Where Lincoln's body lies, the trim around the alcove is in desperate need of painting and the ceiling of the front area of the tomb is falling. How the state of Illinois let it get into the shape it's in is unfathomable.
