Today's (Pre-game) Fun and Entertainment

We signed up some time ago to participate in some health and behavior research with Darwin's Dogs. There have been quite a few questionnaires to complete but all, I think, less than 20 questions each. Then the day I left for vacation this was delivered:

Saliva Collection Kit

They wanted Min's saliva for DNA testing.  In the box was a consent form as well as a measuring tape.

There was a bit of dancing around to get these numbers, particularly the nose to eye measurement.  I was lucky to have Tristan as an assistant!

The swabbing part, not so bad.  No photos though.  Here is the "training" video:

The original mailing box could very cleverly be refolded to return the specimen and is waiting on the mailbox for our carrier to pick it up.
