Training the Chain - 2nd generation Day 16

#1. NTT containing 2nd generation sample.  Direct from refrigerator.  Warmed in my hand and placed in pajama pocket.  Back to bed w/coffee, bait bag and NTT in pocket.  Absolutely no sniffing from Raya at all.  She had her head resting on my lap.  Then she curled up on the pillows and went to sleep.  Eventually I too lay down to sleep but first placed the NTT in my hand and rested my hand 4" from Raya's nose.  No reaction at all.
#2. 2 hours later went downstairs and fed Raya 1/2 of her breakfast and trained 1/2 of her breakfast.  Removed film canister from refrigerator and placed cold in pj pocket.  We went upstairs.  Raya was sniffing.  Got into bed.  Sniff/alert.  Treat.  X3.  Returned downstairs and returned canister to plastic bag on counter.
*** Film canister contains the hydrated sample - NOT 2nd generation sample - of clothing collected 5/22/19.
#3.  The NTT was still on counter, waiting to be disposed of.  I put Raya on Wait in FR and went to hide the NTT inside purse hanging on hall tree.  Sent Raya to Find.  She found the odor within :05.
NOW WHAT???

I kept both containers on counter at room temp.  Will use them throughout the day and see what Raya tells us.
