Sample arrived USPS yesterday.  Cool but not frozen upon delivery.  2 plastic containers, ea containing several cotton squares.  I double bagged and froze in their own door shelf.  I prepared the first canister w/5 holes in lid (ice pick).  Removed one cotton round from freezer; spritzed 4X w/distilled water; inserted into canister.  
Seated, I presented cannister to Lily, no cue.  She nose targeted and left nose on canister until marked w/”Yes”. (1-2s)  
Double bagged canister and placed in butter compartment of refrigerator.
