Today I am going to talk to you about keeping your Horses and K9s happy! I will briefly cover each breedable and how to keep those animals smiling!

Let me start out by saying Happiness in your Horses and K9s pertains to breeding only. If you do not intend on breeding your animals they do not have to be happy.

Ok now on to keeping them happy…

Let’s first start with horses….

The most convenient way to raise a horse’s happiness and keep it up is using Salt Licks. The Salt Lick helps to increase the happiness of the horse. It can be used when you are trying to increase the Fervor of the horse for breeding. The Salt Lick gives a 1% increase in happiness over time. One Salt Lick last 2 horses 2 weeks.

To use a Salt Lick

1. Open boxed Salt Lick and rez close to the horses you wish to increase the happiness. For the horses to use the Salt Lick it needs to be within their set range, just as the food and water is.

2. Click the Salt Lick to set options for Owner only, Group only, or All.

  • Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners horses.
  • Group only: Will only be consumed by horses in the same group as the Salt Lick is set to.
  • All: Any horse within range of the Salt Lick will be able to consume it.

Once the Salt Lick has been completely consumed it will disappear.

The other way to increase a horse’s happiness is to ride a horse. Riding a horse is not only an enjoyable time for you but it is always a great way to increase the happiness on your horse. Please make note that even though it does raise your horse’s happiness, your horse also tires easier. Your horse must age 7 and above to ride your horse.

 

Ok, let’s move on to keeping those K9 happy!

The most convenient way to raise a K9’s happiness and keep it up is using Chew Toys. The Chew Toys help to increase the happiness of the K9. It can be used when you are trying to increase the Heat of the horse for breeding. The Chew Toy gives a 1% increase in happiness over time. One Chew Toy last 2 K9s 2 weeks.

To use a Chew Toy

  1. Open boxed Amaretto Brand Chew Toy and rez close to the K-9’s you wish to increase the happiness. For the K-9’s to use the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy it needs to be within their set range, just as the food and water is.
  2. Click the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy to set options for Owner only, Group only, or All.
  • Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners K-9’s.
  • Group only: Will only be consumed by K-9’s in the same group as the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy is set to.
  • All: Any K-9 within range of the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy will be able to consume it.

Once the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy has been completely consumed it will disappear.

You can also increase your K9s happiness by playing with your K9. To play with your K9 it must be connected to the K9 HUD. While the K-9 is attached to the HUD they receive a boost in Happiness. This is an incremental increase that will rise as long as the K-9 stays attached to the HUD.

To use the K9 HUD

1.Wear the HUD – It will attach to your screen in the upper left corner

2.Touch the K-9 you want to interact with and chose HUD from the Blue Menu

3.Touch the Connect button on the HUD – It will confirm in local which K-9 is connected to the HUD

4.Now you can choose to have your K-9 do one of the activities listed on the HUD

Come, Stay, Follow

 

I hope this helps make you and your Horse and K9s happy! Until next time…. Happy Breeding!

Rollbacks an Amaretto

Well Happy Wednesday Everyone! Hope you are enjoying your breedables!

Today I would like to talk a little about Amaretto Breedables and Second Life.

Let’s start with the rollbacks Second Life is doing every Tuesday an whenever they decide to, and some of the problems it is causing for your Amaretto Breedables.

Let’s start with Mother had Second Bundle. If this happens to you all you need to do is leave the bundle under the mother until you have copied the UUID of the mother because we will need this to send you the correct bundle, if you have 2 bundles under the mother one will be a viable bundle an the 2nd one will be a non-viable bundle. You can delete the Mother had second bundle if only you got a good one no need to file a ticket.

But! If you only got the Mother had 2nd bundle you will need to file a ticket with the mother’s information so we can get the bundle to you as soon as possible. You can also click on the mother and see what the last bundle this mother had. Click on breeding then click on last bundle.

Well since that covers Mother had 2nd bundle let’s move on and talk about the duplicated horses or duplicated bundles. All you have to do is file a ticket on this and check your ticket for a respond and what CSR to send your horses to.

Well I would also like to mention missing horse! When you file a ticket for a missing horse please be sure to include the UUID or the name of the horse! When you have all this the CSR will get your horse back to you as quickly as possible! Make a quick notecard with all your horses’ names and UUID’s on it that way you have it just in case you need it, it does come in handy!

Well I think I covered about what can happen with your breedables when Second Life decides to do the no no on us!

So until next Wednesday Have a Great Day and Happy Breeding!!

Howdy yall and Happy Thursday!

Do you have a retired horse with sentimental value? Do you want to keep that special spayed or neutered K9 until the end of time? Well I have the answer for you! Forever Foal and Perpetual Puppy! The Forever Foal makes a Retired horse so that it will not require food anymore and the Perpetual Puppy make a Spayed/Neutered K9 so that it will not require food any more. The horse and/or K9 will still function as a normal retired horse or spayed/neutered K9 would. The hover text will read “pet” after they have been turned into a Perpetual Puppy or Forever Foal. Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Let me point out some important information to make the redemption process go smooth.

Important Information for the Forever Foals:

Forever Foal certificates can be purchased at any Amaretto Horse store locations

You will need ONE certificate per ONE horse you would like to Forever Foal

You can only use the certificate for a Retired horse (120 days and older)

Once a horse has been turned into a Forever Foal it is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Only the person who purchases the certificate can redeem it.

Redemption Instructions:

Please place the Certificate in a folder named “Forever Foal <your sl name>” with the Retired horse you wish to be your Forever Foal. Send the folder to Jaymee Caproni. Jaymee will work her magic and return the horse to you in a folder named “Forever Foal from Jaymee Caproni”

Important Information for the Perpetual Puppy:

Perpetual Puppy  certificates can be purchased at any Amaretto K9 store locations

You will need ONE certificate per ONE K9 you would like to Perpetual Puppy

You can only use the certificate for a Spayed or Neutered K9 (126 days and older)

Once a K9 has been turned into a Perpetual Puppy  it is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Only the person who purchases the certificate can redeem it.

Redemption Instructions:

Please place the Certificate in a folder named “Perpetual Puppy  <your sl name>” with the Spayed/Neutered K9  you wish to be your Perpetual Puppy. Send the folder to Jaymee Caproni. Jaymee will work her magic and return the K9 to you in a folder named “Perpetual Puppy from Jaymee Caproni”

 

I hope this is helpful information and please remember, The Perpetual Puppy and The Forever Foal is an OPTION…. If you do not want to purchase it, you do not have to. You can continue to feed your Spayed/Neutered K-9s and Retired Horses pet food as this option has not changed.

Until next Thursday…..

Happy Wednesday Everyone!! Hope everyone is having great breeding days! Hope you all get that special horse you are trying to get.

Today I would like to start off reminding you all about mine and Jaymee’s event . I wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow’s karaoke event has been changed to an Amaretto mixer!

Busy Weekend Ahead !!!!

 

For the next few days, sit down, kick back and relax, cause starting Thursday there’s going to be singing, dancing, partying, and lots of walking in store for the weekend.

That’s right, Karrie and Jaymee get us started Thursday at 11:00 am (slt) with some Karaoke. Its not to late to drop them a note card and let them know you want to sing. Now I would sing but…… the K-9s tend to start howling when I do, and its not a happy howl, so I think its best not to aggravate my K-9s
Now Karaoke is a fun event for all, so don’t miss out on this one.

On Friday July 12th at 7:00 pm (slt) A.M.O.C. is having a party… so pull out those dancing shoes and lets boogie.

Saturday July 13th and Sunday July 14th is Relay For Life. This is such an awesome event, its all day and opens Saturday with the Lap for Survivors and Caregivers. Come on out and show your support for them and what they have been through and still going through.. Along the road way you can light luminaries in Remembrance of a friend or loved one.Lots of vendors and displays to see, and different events to go to while you are there too!!!
Amaretto has an awesome display there. We will all be there, so come out and join us, and help raise money for a cure!!!

So lets see… Thursday we go sing, Friday we dance and party, and Saturday and Sunday we walk… Sounds like an awesome weekend of fun and community get togethers!!! See you there!!!!!
