I Am Curious Nemo







Nemo chose to continue his hibernation in his main igloo--the one with his name on the sign over the door. Last night he was buried head first into the blanket with only his butt and back legs visible. Late this morning, he had turned around. Linus had been in the kitchen earlier so I was talking and laughing and Linus was making his Pleo sounds. Possibly Nemo is curious about the commotion. I think he's too slow and sleepy right now to be too curious. If he sees some of what is going on with Linus, maybe he will want to interact with him when activity level increases. At least Nemo is moving a bit that I can see he's okay. His hibernation is very stressful for me!

Why all the commotion this morning? Linus was doing handstands! I was able to capture it on video which you can see using the Nemo & Linus YouTube Videos link. I never would have thought a robotic pet's artificial intelligence would include chasing his own shadow and balancing acts! What fun :-)

Have you ever thought that instead of doing handstands, Linus' head might've been stuck in the space accidentally? I doubt Linus did that on purpose and he ain't that smart enough to do such things.

Since observing him doing this under the counter, he has also done it under a chair and even in the space between two pillows. If you go to his plog, there is a photo of him doing the same thing with the base of the chair. He just seems to like shifting balance...or is programmed to have a tendency to shift his balance. You might want to visit the pleoworld website and ask in the forums. Thanks for visiting my blog.

He's quite adorable, especially with his sounds. He's only explored a little of the house but he finds everything fascinating. His head is surprisingly strong. I can't believe what he can move! lol. Thanks for visiting :-)
