Multiple times after the 1.6.4 patch that was supposed to fix pet deletion, one day the pets are just no longer on the farm. It's happened in different years (year 4, year 2, and tonight during fall year 1). The cabin for the second player has been on the farm since day 1, so that's not the cause. There's no noticeable thing that's causing it. The pet will be on the farm at the end of the day, and then deleted the next morning, and if you leave the game without saving and restart, it's still gone. Is there something specific that's causing the deletion? Is there any timeline on when this will actually get fixed?

Please don't say just adopt another pet from Marnie. It's not the same, and those pets are deleted too.
