25.11.2019 HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO YOU, DEAR SISU!

Sisu2019

Terve! Hello from the Winter Wonderland Ranua! It’s been snowing a lot and even the temperatures have been very pleasant – at least from my point of wiew. 🙂

It’s so nice to take a walk and feel the soft snow under my paws. Everything looks so beautiful and I love the white, frosty flowers on the trees.

Well, a young active polar bear boy can’t just keep walking all day long. My keepers gave me a new toy and, naturally, I must quality control it!

Oh yeah, this tube has just the right size ….

…. and even the colour is very satisfactory!

Let’s see how it rolls ….

Perfect! Like a rolling stone, hihihii …. 🙂

Of course, I bring you greetings from my friends, too!

The owl has an amazing camouflage outfit …

No wonder Agent 007 ½ is a bit envious. However, even he likes the Winter. I’ve suggested he could dig a cave where he could keep an eye on things without being seen ….

He kindly asked me to deliver his best greetings to Anke in Berlin who seems to be his biggest fan. 🙂

The Siberian deers are very beautiful. What luck they don’t mind the cold weather either!

Ruska and Routa are still deeply in love.

Our dholes like to lie on the snow ….

… but every now and then it’s nice to stay indoors.

This lynx knows he’s a most beautiful cat. He always wants to pose nicely for Marko’s camera.

Maybe he’s dreaming of a career as a photo model. Does anybody know the number to the Big Cat Model Agency?

Now it’s time for my snow yoga!

It’s been such a long time without snow so now I’m super happy (sappy?) doing my yoga in the white stuff!

I wish I could send some snow to Ranzo and Nora, too, and I hope even my pal Aron will be able to enjoy a real Winter soon!

20191117-_T4A2356

Hmm, what shall I do now?

20191117-_T4A2359

Hide-and-seek is never wrong! I prefer the hiding part of this game and let the others seek! 🙂

20191117-_T4A2278

Here I am! How wonderful to feel the snow on my fur and on my nose!

20191117-_T4A2289

I think I need little nap now.

Some stretching before I enter the land of dreams.

Bye-bye! That’s all for this time. I wish all the readers of Knuti’s Weekly a very happy Winter time – with or without snow! Greetings from your one and only Sisu
