Emma has become quite the responsible party when it comes to the farm's animals. She considers it her duty to make sure all animals, dogs and cats included, receive food. She can often be found bending down beside the cat bowls, pointing and demanding them to "EAT!" Much to Emma's displeasure, this tends to have quite the opposite effect on the cats, as they instead choose run back outside and try their luck again later. 
In the evenings, she will break from her playing and, giving Allen a no-nonsense look, inform him that it is time to feed her cows. She then runs ahead of him to the barn to watch him get the bucket of sweet feed. It is not possible for him to get the gate opened quickly enough for her as she calls for her "baby cows" to come eat. One small handful after another, she lays out the food into the trough, occasionally pushing herself halfway into it so she can give a quick pat on whichever cow's head is within her reach. 
Once the bucket is empty and Emma is satisfied, her and Allen leave the cows and start back up to the house. Half way to the house, Emma decides it's time to feed her baby chickens. This involves dumping cupfuls of chicken feed as close to on the chickens heads as she can manage as they all scurry in various directions, until they realize the stuff pelting them on the heads is food. Emma watches them, reminding us a few times that these are her baby chickens, not Mary Claire's baby chickens, not Mommy's baby chickens, only Emma's baby chickens.
