Knut welcomed the Spring in 2008

5.4.2023 – Photos by Gudrun, Collages by Mervi

This time I want to show you some photos of Knut enjoying the Spring in the year 2008.

In this photo it looks like our polar bear friend is making plans for the gardening season.

Something had to be done to make the enclosure look presentable and cosy!

Even the jute sack needed a wash ….

As we all remember Knut really made his enclosure greener by moving plants!

Maybe a nice swimming tour after all the work?

Of course, Knut inspired me to make a couple of collages of him doing the ‘Frühjahrsputz’.

Dear Knuti! How I wish you were here to welcome Spring with us even this year! However, your spirit still brings sunshine in our hearts.

    I remember those years at Knut’s enclosure so vividly. Thank you for the beautiful reminder

  2. Dear Mervi!
    I’ll use Knut’s spring cleaning and gardening as a model for upcoming activities. Until now, my excuse was that it is still too cold… We continue to have sub-zero temperatures at night and temperatures in the single digits during the day, much too cold for window cleaning! 😉

    Knut was adorable, very droll and charming and we enjoyed visiting him at any time of the year. The only thing was that we didn’t have to dress quite so warmly in spring and could stand it longer at the enclosure….
    Knut’s gardening efforts are still having an effect today!
    Thank you for these bittersweet memories!

    Hugs
    Anke

    Thank you for the nice memories 💖
    Yes, spring is coming. That means there is spring cleaning. It’s not only the people who do it. As I have now learned, animals do it too.
    And now the gardening season finally begins again. There is a lot to be done in the garden. Knut has done his best to put his home in order, to clean it, he has washed and he has also done the first gardening work.
    Just like with humans. Now I know for sure, humans and animals, we are all the same. If only people would take that to heart.
    Thanks also to Dumba for her super cute collage!

    Hugs,
    Anita
