Taking Care of Animals

## Daily Care

All animals, chickens, cows, dogs, and horses, all hate being outside in the rain. They all need to be fed everyday, except for chickens, cows, and horses when they are outside.

## Dog

After choosing your companion, make sure to feed him everyday by putting an edible item into his dog bowl. It doesn't have to fancy. You can even give him weed if you want to. If you don't have a doghouse yet, make sure to bring him inside when it's going to rain or he won't like you very much the next day. After getting the flute, you can train him to do tricks, but most importantly, train him to herd cows. If he likes you enough, others will notice and events will trigger.

## Chickens

Chickens live in the coop, which is left of the Farmhouse. You can have up to 6 chickens at a time. Adult chickens will lay eggs everyday. You can buy adult chickens from the Farmer's Shop on Brownie Farm or save money and buy eggs from Ronald's Supermarket to put the egg in the incubator instead to get chicks. On sunny or cloudy days, let the chickens outside to eat and roam around. Letting your chickens outside increases your friendship with them and increases your likelihood you will get a Golden Egg, which is required for one of the endings. You don't need to feed them if they are outside overnight. If you forget to feed them, they will get upset and are very likely to get sick. If they get sick, purchase Animal Medicine from the Farmer's Shop to heal them. If untreated, they will die.

## Cows

To purchase cows, buy them from the Farmer's Shop on Brownie Farm. Bob will deliver the new calf to your farm after you name her. It takes about a week for a newly purchased calf to become an adult and produce milk. Cows can be milked once per day. As you increase your friendship with your cows, they will produce better milk, starting with Milk S up to Milk G. Milk G is required for one of the endings. Cows need to be brushed and talked to everyday. Adult, non-pregnant cows can be milked everyday. After talking to your cows or horse, they will follow you. Like chickens, let your cows outside when it is sunny or cloudy. You can leave them overnight if it will be sunny or cloudy the next day. Letting your cows outside into the pasture will increase their friendship. It's highly advised to get the flute first before getting cows as they are a pain to move in and out of the barn. If you forget to feed your cows or leave them outside when it rains, they will become upset and are likely to become sick. If they are sick, treat them with Animal Medicine from the Farmer's Shop on Brownie Farm. If untreated, they will die.

## Horse

You do not start the game with a horse. You have to work for it by working on Brownie Farm, part-time. Once Bob trusts you, he will bring you the horse of the color you always brushed first to your farm. Give him a name, and Bob will put him in the barn for you. Brush him everyday and talk to him. At first, he won't let you ride him. After about a week, you'll be able to hop on his back, but he will only walk. Bob will visit your farm to congratulate you and tell you to keep up the good work. Keep caring for your horse and eventually he'll run. Just like the other animals, do not let him outside in the rain and feed him everyday. If he gets sick, treat him immediately because if he dies, Bob will not give you another horse.

## Sick Animals

If your chickens, cows, or horse get sick, you will need to give them Animal Medicine. Otherwise, they will die. If one of them dies, Bob will visit your farm and hold a funeral service with you. He will explain to you the importance of taking care of sick animals and admonish you for not taking your responsibility seriously. Afterwards, the Hero reflects on what happened and goes to bed for the rest of the day.
