Hello all…. I am going to go over all information about the Forever Foal certificate that is now now available for retired Amaretto Breedable horses….. Below is a list of important need to knows….

**ONE  Forever Foal Gift Certificate per ONE Horse**

The Forever Foal makes the Retired horse so that it will not require food any more.

All other normal functions for a RETIRED horse will still operate normally.

Hover text will say Pet instead of Retired.

This ONLY works for Retired horses

(Retired Horse= a horse that is greater then 120 days old)

Can be used for both male and female Retired horses.

**The Forever Foal Certificate will be sold in all Amaretto Store locations**

**IMPORTANT NOTE**
Although the Forever Foal is transferable, the Forever Foal certificate MUST be turned in by the purchaser ONLY. The reason this is a requirement is because every Forever Foal certificate is checked against our transaction data base. Once a Forever Foal certificate is redeemed by the purchaser it is marked as Redeemed and becomes void. The reason we have the certificate as transferable is so the purchaser may pass the certificate to Jaymee Caproni for redemption. Again, please remember, the certificates can not be purchased and transferred to another avatar for redemption. I will not be able to redeem the certificate, and it will be returned.

Instructions:

After purchase of the Forever Foal

Please place the Certificate AND the Retired horse you wish to be your Forever Foal in a folder named “Forever Foal <your sl name>”

Send the folder to Jaymee Caproni. (MEEEEE )

I will work my magic and return the horse to you in a folder named “Forever Foal from Jaymee Caproni”

PLEASE follow these instructions so that the process goes as smoothly as possible.

***ONCE A RETIRED HORSE IS TURNED INTO A FOREVER FOAL IT CAN NOT BE TURNED BACK***

Also, please remember….

The Forever Foal is an OPTION….

If you do not want to purchase it, Don’t. You can continue to feed your retired horses pet food

That option has not changed.

I hope this has cleared up some questions… until next time 🙂

Tonight I want to talk to you about Mother had second bundle/
kennel in three days message.
First  this usually happens when there is a sim rollback
or  restart, this can also happen with sim lag .
Most of the time the mother has had a viable bundle or kennel
then  the 2nd bundle/kennel can be deleted .
When you file a ticket on this be sure to add the Mothers
UUID  an add this is the only bundle/kennel  you got  in ticket.
The horses/K-9's only have one bundle/kennel at a time so twins
are not possible .
Please remember, if the bundle with this error message is the
second bundle from this mother, it can be deleted and
no ticket is needed.

Are you using your k9 hud?

Are you using your K-9 hud?

Hey everyone its Monday and we all know what that means its Ava’s connection day!
I wanted to take a few moments to talk to everyone, about the K-9 hud and make sure that all the new K-9 breeders know about all the cool things you can do!

When you use the hud you can command your K-9 to do the following:

Come

Stay

Fetch

Follow

Playing with your K-9 and the hud will make your K-9’s happiness increase over a length of time!
So if you have a K-9 that is feeling a little blue you can use the hud to bring up their happiness so they will be ready to breed.

If you do not have a Amaretto K-9 hud you can get one by clicking on your K-9, then help, and get hud 🙂

I have also uploaded a K-9 hud video for a visual explanation on how easy it is to use!

Now i hope you will all dust off those K-9 huds and take yours for a walk! Happy breeding everyone until next time!

Emails from the website round 2

Hello everyone its tmzasz the webmaster for amarettobreedables.com, over the next few days the system is going to be pushing out emails that have gotten stuck in the queue. This happens when a error in one of the messages stalls the sending mechanism. Unfortunately this isn’t detected until the queue backs up to a point where it alerts us that a problem occurs. We apologize for the amount of messages that get sent to your inbox and we have been working with the software provider to figure out why this has happened again. Also this is the reason that some of you have not gotten your validation emails as i have seen there are a few that are stuck in the queue so those that were stuck should be sent out over the next few days.

Thats the AMOC scoop for today.

Oh! One last thing incase you missed this notice

Amaretto has a secret! What happens when you breed horse siblings? Chance for Albinos! Now what happens when you put full K9 siblings together? All will be revealed very soon! Its time to start getting your siblings in order as Amaretto gets ready to release something awesome in K9 sibling breeding.

Second Life has many lag issues, that can cause duplication of breedables, disappearance of breedables, or incomplete transfer of breedables. Having your breedable named can be very helpful especially when SL eats you Horse or K-9. We need information to remake your breedable. What we need is the Name of breedable and/or UUID number. If you leave you horse or K-9 as Amaretto Breedable Horse or Amaretto Breedable K-9 it can make it harder to find and sometimes impossible. The same goes for kennels and bundles.
We can only replace, remake your item if we have the information, so please take the time to name all your breedables.
Names can be as simple as using a number. It will also help you keep track and know when you are missing a horse or K-9.
When you get a bundle or kennel and you decide not to birth it, name it before you take it into your inventory. Lets say a few weeks down the road you decide to birth that bundle, and the horse stays white and doesn’t birth. You probably don’t remember who the parents of the bundle were, but if you have named the bundle and paid attention to the bundle name before you clicked birth, you now have some information to give us that can help in finding out about that bundle.

Happy breeding… and naming!

Until next Thursday….

 

VOTE NOW

We encourage all nominees to post on the forums under AMOC,
telling everyone about themselves.
This can help encourage votes for you.
 Voting has begun.
You can vote for up to 3 different people as three spots are open.

You must wear the AMOC group tag to vote.
Voting will end at 5am SL time Monday November 14th

Hey guys its Monday again! Seems like it keeps coming every week 🙁

Well hope everyone is staying warm and dry as the weather changes!

So I wanted to talk about something that someone suggested I talk about.

Have you played fetch with your K-9 lately?? Does it seem like that the ball just keeps going and going??

Well did you know you can change the range on the ball?? Just wear the ball and simply click on it to adjust the range, which will control how far the ball will go!

Also a little reminder I have been posting videos lately here is one for how to use the K9 hud http://amarettobreedables.com/videos/7/9/amaretto-k9-hud

and another on how to cash in haven points!     http://amarettobreedables.com/videos/7/8/how-to-use-horse-haven-points

So check both of those out and if you have a suggestion on a how to video send me a nc in world and I will get right on it!!

So happy breeding everyone until next time!

Missing Your Horse or K-9? Dont Worry!!

What happens when your Horse or K-9 disappears? You have to file a ticket. If you don’t have the UUID number, and you have named your horse or bundle, we can usually locate it in our database. Our data base contains UUID, descriptions and even what you name your Horse or K-9

 

If you leave the horse or K-9 named Amaretto Breedable Horse, or Amaretto Breedable K-9, then we have no way of knowing which horse or K-9 that you have missing.

 

Please don’t name them all the same. If you use a name twice, give one of them a number also, or a sir name, Sr., Jr., III, etc.

 

Also your transaction history, when you purchased an item can also be a valuable help when you have tickets on items that did not come into your inventory when you purchased from others, or at auctions.

 

This also applies to Bundles and Kennels. If you don’t plan on birthing them right away, Name Them.

 

When filing a ticket please include all the helpful information that you can.
