COMMENTS:

*R One Ritual set Intro VIIA was performed prior to beginning testing on the wheel.

*1  I thought that I had pressed the "Start" button on the camera, but obviously did not.  This set was not filmed.  I am crediting it with the same amount of time as Set 2, because it was quick and easy and Lily worked the wheel in the same steady, methodical way.

*2 Again, a joy to watch Lily work the wheel this morning.  She appears very confident in the odor and is enjoying the "game".



*3 Switching containers after every two reps.



*4  I left the Target Odor in the same container for the entire set. I have never left the Target Odor in the same container in the middle of testing Test C.  It appeared to make no difference.  Interesting that her False Positive was in the next container.




*5  Lily worked hard in this set.  Perhaps because her very first find and indicate was a False Positive?  I think in this set Lily was able to take command of the wheel's new movement (it is resting on a Lazy Susan and has a lot more movement than it had prior to resuming testing).  She is sniffing each container as she searches, but also, when she locks on to the Target Odor from across the table, she is now pulling the container to her with her teeth.




*6  I had an extra kibble in my hand so Lily did 11 reps instead of 10.
