Better than a dead rat inside the walls. Glad yu figured it out. When I was trying to hatch goose eggs and knew nothing I decided to finally test one that had been "hatching" for about 6 weeks. You drop an egg in water. If it floats it's alive. It hit the bottom and exploded releasing the worst smell I had ever encountered. The dogs were immediately dancing around wanting a taste. Which is how I learned the secret ingredient in dog food is a kind of enzyme released by rotting protein. Chanel no. OHH LA LA to canines.

Thankfully I can't beat four dead rats. But we visited a rather eccentric brass instrument seller in Bath once. His house was filthy and crowded in a typical hoarder fashion. As we walked into the kitchen, he apologised for the smell, claiming there was a "dead rat somewhere."
