Hello, Borealis 😍 Looks like Boris has a frozen snackie 😋 Oh, oranges….something different. 😋
Yes, Boris….I time my visits hoping to see you 🥰
The last of his winter coat should be gone soon. Just part of his head & those adorable ears remain.
27 years young Boris. He is a very healthy weight. Yes, he has slowed down & his back legs are arthritic, but he is still our beloved Alaskan brown 🐻 BORIS 😍

We are extremely dry & Oscar is itchy!!

Hello, handsome Chinook 😍 You’re doing an amazing job filling in for Boris pool pics this season!
“You didn’t ask me, so I’m just being amazing in my hammock!” Yes, you are Brian. 😍
Chinook says “bye for now”. Yes, there’s more Chinook to come. 😍
Hello Michelle,
That’s a lovely photo shoot of the residents at Milwaukee Zoo.
I particularly like Mr & Mrs Karibu.
Please pass on my regards to Chinook with the curly hair!
Dear Michelle!
You have so many lovely animals at your zoo! Of course, the bears are particularly close to my heart, and I think the grizzly family is simply wonderful. But Mr and Mrs Caribou, who have to watch their eyes when they kiss 😉 , Oscar the badger and the beautiful tigress Natasha are also well worth a visit.
Thank you for these heart-warming photos!
Hugs

Dear Michelle!
You met many animals on your walk through the zoo. It is great to see the bears in the water on the hot day.
