Lumberjack Sisu

Terve! Hello! It’s your Sisu calling again. You have already seen how cool we Yorkshire polar bears are. This time I want to show you my new hobby.

Of course, first I kept looking for Indie … although he managed to make himself invisible to me.

Well, I don’t let that prevent me from having fun anyway! I went swimming …

… and found the water not only wet but quite cold, too. Very much to my liking!

I was looking for some surprises …

… and look what I found!

There was a log of wood just waiting to be treated properly.

Oh bear, this log is a real challenge. I would like to take it to land …. I feel like being a lumberjack.

…. but it’s too heavy. Never mind, I don’t have proper equipment for my new hobby anyway – not yet.

Hmm, my career as a lumberjack was rather short … but I’ll try again later! After all – I’m a stubborn Finn!!

Now it’s time to get out of the water.

My ‘trade mark’ is very visible when my fur is wet. Can you imagine that many two legged creatures don’t know polar bears have black skin? Well, you can’t expect too much from those funny looking things called people! They don’t even have a fur – and their paws are so tiny!

With any luck I can get a glimpse of Indie …
