Dear friends! Once again we're living very exciting times. The daily reports from Bärlin are more thrilling than any movie by Herr Hitchcock! However, we have something else for you, too. Algot, the new comer in Teddybärenmutti's big bear army wants to introduce himself:

Dear friends! Maybe you are wondering why on earth this thread has a title like that? Well, you'll find the answer when you read about the Golden Girls' latest adventure:

Dear friends! This is your fluffy angel speaking. I know this date will make you sad but please, don't be sad. I will always be your guardian angel and I will always be with you - I'm sure you can hear the knutish wings.


Although I understand your sadness I want to remind you that life is too short to be wasted on crying. So - my friiends, let's enjoy life! I'm invisible (most of times) but I'm with you! Don't you forget that! Great love is always there forever!


In the name of love I'm happy to announce the latest story by Teddybärenmutti about the wedding of Lars and Astrid! Enjoy!

Welcome to Bärlin, sweet Russian ice princess!

The theme of this thread is welcoming of the Russian ice princess in Bärlin. Even if she came too late to be a companion to Knut we will, of course, love her just like we love all the sweet polar bears! The Golden Girls ar not called that for nothing - they really have hearts of purest gold and they have arranged a surprise party for the newest memeber of our big bear family. Isn't that sweet?!

Dear friends! Many of you have already had your vacation, some of us in the middle of the 'freedom' and some lucky guys still have something to look forward to. I hope everybody's having a pleasant summer and I'm very happy to share some holiday greetings with you. Teddybärenmutti has kindly forwarded cards to Knuti's Weekly:

Dear friends! I don't know how many zoo reports I have published during the last four years but they are many!! I have often wondered how a report from the other side of the fence would look like - maybe something like this:

Dear friends! You have already seen a couple of reports from Orsa but there's yet another very special report! Lars has written his own report. I guess you're asking:'Who's Lars?'. Well, read the report and you'll find the answer!

Dear friends! Time for a new thread but no new story since the story tellers have been visiting Orsa and didn't have time to write stories. However, there will be reports from both TBM and me in due course. I hope you will enjoy reading them.


It's always wonderful to meet polar bears but they also remind us of a very special bear......

Midsummer dreams

Dear friends! As I have often told you Knut was my source of inspiration - no matter if I wanted to write something or make a collage. He simply told me what to do and how to do it! I always found such a great pleasure in describing things with his words. Because I couldn't make myself to write a new story about midsummer this year I thought maybe you would like to read the story from 2008 again.


I wish you all a wonderful midsummer celebration and a happy summer! Hugs from Mervi

Miracles still DO happen!!

Posted by Mervi on June 8, 2011 at 1:17 PM Comments comments (333)

 


Dear friends! We have suffered terrible losses during the last few months and sometimes we get overwhelmed by sadness and sorrow. However, we have also proof that miracles still do happen. Just think of our dear, sweet Lumikki. When I feel down I take a look of a photo of our sleeping beauty or watch the video where she plays happily with her white teddybear - and I can assure you, it always makes me feel better.


We can't get the old days back but we can treasure the beautiful memories in our hearts. The best way to honour and cherish the memory of our angel friends is never give up. If we do - who will then carry out the message and inheritance they left us?


We have the most beautiful fluffy guardian angel to watch over us and I'm sure the little ice princess was sent to remind us that the time of miracles is not over!

Dear friends! This thread is dedicated to co-operation between our fluffy bear angel and us. He has now a very special mission and he needs our help!



I had a chance to 'interwiew' the guardian angel - you'll find the article in KWM. You will again remember what a remarkable.lovable, wonderful bear our Knuti was - and still is!

Dear friends! Time goes by even if we sometimes want to stop it. We are cherishing our lovely memories of the sweetest bear boy ever but we are also looking forward. The beautiful baby bear in Alaska has already stolen our hearts and I will dedicate this thread to our 'Lumikki'. Let's pray she will have a long and happy life in a cosy zoo!


This week I'm proud to present you two stories:

Sun is shining on our memory lane

Dear friends! The healing process is going on to mend our wounded hearts. Although it will take a long time I think we have all seen the sun coming through the dark clouds. While walking on the memory lane we find ourselves smiling when we remember our ball artist, gardener, croissant lover .... and who could ever forget the scenes when the lettuce was returned to the sender?


We have also witnessed a miracle in  Alaska when the little polar bear girl was rescued in an oil field. I may be naive but I believe this is a very important sign for us! .... and if I'm not very much misstaken we have all already reserved a place in our hearts for the new member in our big bear family.

There's no new story this week but I'm sure you'll enjoy all the photos and memories in KWM!

Dear Friends, as you all remember our Knuti was a keen gardener. He really made his little enclosure much greener by moving the plants from one place to another. I'm sure he's very busy working in his heavenly garden now.

 

 
There's also a story by Teddybärenmutti:

I was afraid to come back here but when I opened the door I heard the sound of wings. When I closed my eyes I saw a fluffy little guardian angel who whispered:' Please, don't cry for me. I'm having a good time with my beloved Daddy. We are now living in a wonderful place beyond pain and sorrow. We're happy together. I promise to visit you every now and then'

.... so please, close your eyes.....

Collage 'Knuti's dream' by Mervi


Dear Friends! isn't it strange that this time of the year I always feel kind of restless. I don't know why but I've been trying very hard to find out! Maybe I need some romance in my life?? A bear can always dream..... Maybe I'll be having a candle light dinner with the queen of my heart very soon. I know Flocke is already spoken for but I've heard there are other lovely bear girls.....


My dear friend and secretary Teddybärenmutti wrote a little story about my research:
