Dear friends! This awful year is over and I sincerely hope the year 2012 will be a better and happier year for all of us. It can't bring our Knuti back but maybe some good news every now and then can make the wound in our heart heal a little ......


Of course, there have been some bright moments, too. Let's not forget them! LuLu, Aleut, Gregor, Siku, Sessi and all the newborn cubbies in Toronto, Kolind, Ranua, Rhenen just to mention some of them. They are precious furry jewels!


I wish you all a Happy New Year 2012!


Bear hugs from Mervi

Welcome back Caren and Bernd. And happy new year !

Thank you for the good wishes. Everything was ok to-day at the hospital, and next week I have the final test, and I hope, that it shall be ok. Next week I have to wait for analysisresult. But I do feel well.

Wapiti and Rose help me here by Computer. Their heads are on the key-board.

Dumba - spring (almost) in Berlin. It is hard to understand. But also here in Denmark everything is coming earlier.

All the best wishes to you all and good night.

Dear Alle
I better call it a day and ask RB to leave his snowyard and get cosy in the house.
Sleep tight and dream sweetly.
Paw waves!

DUMBA -- Your "COLOUR YOUR LIFE - WITH BERLIN SPOTS OF COLOUR" is super--most enjoyable!! Thank you for the delightful tour :-)

CRISSI -- The article on no winter is very interesting--especially the part about the winter wheat. As to the articles on Wulff -- I will let you all read those--I have enough of politics over here with our election dribble. And the various politicians who concentrate on their sex lives rather than their duty to their constituents. :-(

Hier noch ein Leitartikel vom Herausgeber der Frankfurter Rundschau:
http://tinyurl.com/88j6kj8 der Anfang ist amüsant, das Ende bedenkenswert

"Als wir den lieben, treuherzigen Mann im Fernsehen schauen durften,
das feine, gutartige Gesicht, da überfiel uns Reue, Zerknirschung. " hihihi.....

den Karasek hatte ich gestern schon gelesen ;)

Crissi - Gesine Schwan hätte ich auch sehr, sehr gerne als Bundespräsidentin gehabt.
Aber Merkel wollte Köhler, und deshalb haben wir jetzt den Wulff.

Das wiederum hat mich erheitert:

Der ganze Mann ist nicht vornehm, nur provinziell.
Warum haben sie nicht Frau Schwan gewählt,
sie kann sogar Polnisch und Russisch und wäre
eine gute Präsidentin geworden, auch für den Osten.

Kannst Du Dir vorstellen was er gesagt hat? Die Wortwahl war bestimmt nicht vornehm. Gelogen hat er auch

Crissi, Ludmila - This is better than Mervi's Krimi.

Sarsam - Doesn't it feel good to know such a competent nurse around your knusband?
May the medication heal his bronchitis.

Caren - Pertussis is no fun, not even as a child.
Hope your medication will help you overcome it soon.

Crissi, Sarsam, Ludmila, Mervi - Yes, RB is a snowdog, but no sled-dog.
He has always insisted on being independent from any chores whatsoever.....

Ludmila - leider, leider, ich hätte ihn schon vor Weihnachten abgesetzt.
Er hat jetzt schon zweimal gelogen. Warum will er nicht, dass man die Mail Box hört?

Es ist fast nicht möglich ihn absetzen. Er kann nur selbst zurücktretten. Bis jetzt will er aber bleiben

Ludmila, Susan, Sarsam, we could have a drink together.

Mervi - have fun with your Krimi! :)

Bärgit - RB is a perfect snow dog ;)

Bärgit, Red Baron - It was a great pleasure for me to publish such lovely photos!

Sarsam - Yes, Goldilocks knows and she's very excited!

Ludmila - When I checked the webcam one of the bears was lying on the rock in the same way as Troll but then he suddenly yawned and I saw it was a real bear :D

Now it's time to watch a new British 'krimi' - things will be happening in Edinburgh this time....

Greetings to all...

Just stopping in for a moment as I'm waiting for a call. Sending hugs (soft ones, of course) to all who are under the weather.

Sarsam- is Gandy still worried about the knusband? Bless his heart...

Dumba- I took your colorful tour, and would love to someday come to Berlin to see it all in person. All the photos were wonderful (I loved RotesHaus and the bakery!), but I was particularly taken with photos 55 through 57 in the slideshow, as I was able to use my one German phrase: "Der Bahnhof ist gerade aus!" :D The sunset photos were breathtaking.

Crissi- I've been enjoying all your links!

Mervi- Hope you are doing well. No holiday here tomorrow... but, since I had one on Monday, I guess I can't complain!

Time to tackle the next project... Only about 11 or 12 more years until I can retire... ;)

We posted at the same time. I am sending the best wishes to your knusband. Gandy is a special goose :)
Patricia
I am thinking on you. If you are feeling not good now, you are not alone.

Caren
Thank you for the card from Madeira. It arrived today.
I think it is not really sad that Giovanna did not get birth to the cubs. She is very young. She can play a year more with Yoghi.
Bärgit
The mails from RB could not be Spam :)
Bärgit, Crissi
I am afraid our president would not abdicate
Mervi
I do not know what you are speaking about :)
In the moment the bears are aktiv
Sarsam
How are you and your knusband doing?

Hi All -- Just brought knusband back from the doctor and pharmacy. Indeed it is bronchitis and knusband is armed with antibiotics and strong cough medicine. Gandy is continuing his self-appointed nursing duty! Sam and Sarah are waiting in the wings if Gandy needs help.

KnUT -- Miss you on your 61-month birthday.......

INGE -- I hope the doctor can diagnosis your stomach problems and that they are minor and treatable. Fingers crossed.

CAREN -- Welcome back!! Whooping cough--wow, that does not sound like fun at all! I would be interested in anything Mr. Gunther told you about elephant herd management, specifically about his herd.

LUDMILA -- That is really funny about Tortoise--he feels better and bit the vet!!!! Go Tortoise :-)))

PATRICIA -- Fingers crossed that you will feel better soon. I hope Poppy is cuddling with you at night to help you fight your cold.

CRISSI and KNUTI-JUDI -- Siku--Siku-K (Kentucky) and Siku-D (Denmark) -- My tired brain is having trouble keeping track of all the polar bears with the same names :-)

DUMBA, CRISSI -- I see you have many links for me to follow. Will get right to that delightful task.

MERVI -- Does Goldilocks know she has a present coming in February?

Paw waves to everyone -- Thank you all for your comments on the photos of my Cat Gang and Gandy!

Semper Knut!
