Last night our electricity was shut off due to the storms. It was very very cold all day and night!! The electricity was just repaired right now!! We were so happy, because the electric company told my mom it wouldn't be turned back on until perhaps tomorrow after noon!!
My sister Halo was unhappy all day & night. She was wearing her Thundershirt, which helped, but she was still stresssed!! Halo doesnt like change. She wants the world to stay exactly the same every day. So when there is a big change, she freaks out! I was a bit confused over the whole incident, but I am better at dealing with change than Halo.
Our house is warming up now! Hopefully the storm will stop soon. It is causing so many problems!!
Take care everyone and stay warm!!

This weekend, my mom bought us human/dog pedometers made by Nintendo! Yes, the video game company! My mom was impressed! So as you can guess you need to have a Nintendo handheld game system (Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi) in order to use the pedometers. It will not work without the main game system. My mom has her own Nintendo DS, but she could've borrowed my brother's if she needed to.
The pedometers aren't calibrated like regular pedometers, but they do work fairly well, esp. considering this is mainly for fun & to encourage walking. The "game" is called "Personal Trainer Walking." It comes with two pedometers-one white & one black. My mom gave me the white pedometer.
The game will let you create people or dog characters to represent you or your parent or other dog sibling(s). Each game card will allow up to 4 members, human or canine to register. So you will only have to buy two extra pedometer units to have a family of four all set up on one game. If only two members of your family want to play, then you are all set with just the original package! You & your family members will be competing against each other in some ways, and in other ways you are working as a team. So it is fun!!
My mom and I first tried this over the weekend.My pedometer is attached to my collar. So far, I am the champion!! I've passed the preset walking goal, everyday which is 3,000 steps. My mom checks my steps/activity level off of my pedometer each night to see how I did. All my mom does is push a button on my pedometer, aiming it at the Nintendo DS, and it will wirelessly send the information. The readings show her a minute by minute graph of how active I was during the day-high, low, or none, throughout the day! For instance, when my mom is gone, it shows I didn't walk around at all; the graph during that time shows a blank space, no bars. When my mom takes me outside to play, it shows on the graph blue bars. Same thing when I am walking around outside. Every minute of the day is on the graph!
My human brother saw my mom and I with the pedometers, and he now wants to compete against me for the champion walker position in my household! He is definitely sure he will beat me. So my mom ordered him a pedometer today! I am looking forward to challenging him!! I'll write in my diary to let you all know if I win.
Here is the website for anyone who wants to check the pedometer game out; it has videos explaining how everything works. It shows a family using it with their St. Bernard!Just scroll down to the bottom of the page. I will put some pictures of my video game character on my webpage, so you can see what I look like.
