Vielen Dank für die schönen Fotos von den Geburtstagsbären Sisu, der wirklich 'cuter than cute', als kleiner Eisbär und zusammen mit seiner Mama gewesen ist Es freut mich sehr, dass Sisu im YWP ein neues Zuhause bekommen hat und dass er nun zusammen mit Luka auf der Anlage ist!! Ich wünsche Sisu alles GUTE für das neue LEBENSJAHR!

Dear Mervi, Thank you so much for once again sharing this wonderful 6th birthday tribute to your Finnish Viking Sisu. As you know, Sisu has settled in extremely well since his arrival at the YWP and he is much loved by everyone. I am so pleased that after several months on his own he is reunited with other polar bears……namely Luka, they get along very well. I went to see Sisu today to wish him a Happy Birthday…..I also sent him your love & hugs! After a stroll around the enclosure he settled down by the fence in front of me to nibble on the grass (I think he had his fill of fruit, vegetables & meat a little earlier!). Sisu then decided it was time to roll around the grass with a red ball…….so lovely to watch him. I must also say a big thank you to Marko for all the absolutely beautiful photographs. Hugs Pat W.

Dear Mervi!
Your birthday tribute to the proud and handsome Viking is and remains wonderful and touching! I can hardly believe that he is already eight years old… Time just flies by. I sincerely wish Sisu a happy birthday, plenty of snow in the coming winter and all the best for the new year: health, happiness and well-being!

Hugs
Anke

Dear Mervi,

oh yes, I still remember very well your first reports about your Finnish bear SISU and with how much love you commented on all his photos. For example, his first experiences with the plants in spring, after the long cold winter was finally over and new impressions were waiting for Sisu.

You also visited him in Orsa and of course lost your heart to the charming Viking!

The fact that he has now ended up in this Wildlife Park after the sad end of Orsa is really a great stroke of luck. Even though he has to do without the fantastic snow of the far north here, he is doing brilliantly and you can see that in every one of the great photos.

I share your happiness and wish him all the best for his birthday and the rest of his life!

Best wishes
Britta-Gudrun

Dear Mervi, Thank you so much for the amazing photographs and wonderful story of Sisu’s early life with mamma before he came to live here at the YWP. I can clearly see how you fell in love with this tiny white bundle of fur…….how could anyone possibly resist! He has turned into such a happy, playful and inquisitive bear and made lots of polar bear friends…….even though he gives Indie a wide berth at times and runs past him. I really don’t know why as Sisu is much larger, I guess he just doesn’t know his own strength. Will give him your love when I see him next week. Pat

It’s a long time ago I had the occasion to wave you a tender “TERVE!”.

Thanks to Mervi’s loving report of your life accompanied by the gorgeous photographs of Marko Junttila (made in RANUA), there’s again the chance
to do it again and to wish you a new year of your life filled with happy/lucky days as you met them till now as to our knowledge. Please stay in full health, you impressive huuuuuuge polar bear

It’s amazing what giant-like polar bear you have grown to and isn’t it nice to know that out there there are people who love you still as much as they did when you was a tiny, charming, most active cub in The RANUA WILDLIFE PARK.

Just like when reading KNUT-friend Anita’s article about QUINTANA’s 6th birthday some days ago, I am puzzled by having got aware that also you turned already to 6(SIX!-unbelievable!) today.

– – –

Thanks for this ‘circuum vitae’ dear Mervi, written in your special loving style for your favourite polar bears and also for the lovable pics by Marko you have chosen out of his precious treasure of photographs. They all are so beautiful – but my absolute favourite is: “What a beautiful photo of a mother and her son!” !!!
And for sure I was also touched by lots of the other shots
(e.g. “… it was time for VENUS to kiss her son Good Bye”.

Happy birthday dear Sisu!!!

Dear Mervi
Thank you so much for your lovely collages for Sisu’s 6th birthday.
Your pictures are absolutely adorable. Once you’ve seen something like that with your own eyes, you’ll never forget it. I’m sure there will be a big party at YWP today.

Hugs,
Anita
