xx.4.2026 by Michelle Rippey

Now I have seen the one & only Alaskan 🐻 BORIS!!!! Oh my, Boris….27 looks great on you! Yes, Boris turned 27 earlier this year. I can honestly say he truly looks incredible! Here’s our beloved Boris. ✌️❤️&🐻

Boris! You look so squishable!! WOWZA!! I see you were eating a snackie & you’re wearing some of it. That’s ok….I’ll take whatever pics I can get.

Wowza, Boris….you really look amazing!! 😍

Thanks for not heading into your den just yet. This is my 1st time admiring you in 2026.

A fitting Boris side eye to end this 1st Boris post of 2026.

Flipping it back to the 16th of April and the 1st official dip in the pool of 2026. Oh, Borealis…..you are simply the best 🐻! ✌️❤️&🐻

Are you finally ready for the 1st official dip in the pool of 2026, Boris? First, we must admire how amazing you look. 😍

Boris went in & let the shake offs begin….🤩

Way to sprinkle happiness, Boris…..

Oh, I ❤️ those ears, Boris!

Time to clean those ears…. Bet that feels good! Your pool was just drained, cleaned & refilled for you.

Looks like the winter coat shed is about to begin. Note, this is the normal time for this to begin.

After snorkeling comes the….

Bubbles…

Hello, 27 years young Boris. Oh, I ❤️ that beautiful, squeezable head….BUT please don’t squeeze the squishy 🐻.

Boris even played with a toy while in the pool…. And sprinkled little droplets of happiness 😍

27 years young Boris didn’t exit on the shallow end, not the deep end. Instead he exited in the middle.

I can look back many years with Boris and I can honestly say this is the best he has looked at this point in the season. Yes, 🐻 are resilient, but this is also thanks to his keepers. 🥰
