Would an animal be fooled by the holodeck? Could Janeway have taken Molly for runs in parklands and the dog would be fine about it?
If Janeway had taken her dog...

A lot of whether the holodeck could fool an animal is whether it can simulate odors, I think. Sometimes it seems it can, when characters smell holo-flowers. I don't recall it ever stated it has scent emitters though.
Is a dog going to be fooled by a holo-dog when it's butt sniffing time?

It would have to be programmed to fool dogs. This would have to take into account their vision and sense of smell, hearing, whatever whisker senses they have or maybe that is just cats. Just taking Molly for Fairhaven walkies would be pointless, she would be like "what is this square room that keeps moving oh when is dinner".
UNLESS. And this must be true. The holodeck programs itself for every living creature that enters it. Otherwise Vulcans would be like, it smells like an office when it's supposed to be a forest, because the scents would stop dead at the human threshold.

I like that smell. Herbivores ftw.
It's weird though that if you eat ONLY GREENS for months at a time your poo still smells like shit. Not like cows or bunnies at all.

She's a farm girl at heart. She's people.
And that's how she knew Kashyk was full of it too.

It isn't weird, it is driven by evolution. By definition, your bodily waste is, well, WASTE. It is toxic, a disease hazard, and if your body had needed it, normally (discounting the effects of certain illnesses) it would have kept it instead of pushing it out. So you're naturally adapted to find it distasteful in smell and other attributes, because most human ancestors that found it pleasurable to smell, touch, taste, whatever, would have died of the diseases they got before having offspring long ago - and failed to pass on such a stupid trait.
But your diet DOES affect smell and texture. And if you've been drinking cherry Kool-Aid or similar, the *bright red* that comes out can scare the hell out of you until you remember why. (Happened to me recently.

I have somehow totally lost my threadbomb of the stick figure staring silently at his computer, then swiping it clean off his desk. Dammit.
Guess this'll just have to subsitute:
Who's she?
I was referring back to this, surely you remember it:
You think the dog is going to promote him?

This is all true. When I was a kid the toilet had a pile of hippy food magazines that you read while on the can, also a few books, and there were always claims that if you were a vegetarian or a raw foods only or a fruitarian your poo would never smell!! It would magically never smell because you would be pure. And these "facts" come back to me from the ether at times. I guess I was more interested in reading the articles about poo than about vitamins. I also have a banshee in my head right this moment screaming about the kool-aid and how you will get cancer
Yes.
OMG..
There is a sizable Crusher/Janeway fandom out there. I'm wondering how this little incident may have been used

Sorry. My joke didn't land properly.
I was pretending to think that "Lieutenant Pips" was a person who Harry was being offered.
