Holy crow. I had no idea I had a polar bear for a neighbour (I also live in Abbotsford).

I liked the part where the polar bear got out of the pool the same way people do.

This is wonderful, but I was a little worried when the bear was whuffling his face. I thought it might go "MMM YOU ARE SO NICE I GIVE YOU KISSES MMM WAIT MMMMMM NOM NOM NOM YOUR FACE IS DELICIOUS RAAAAAWR"

Polar bears are scary.

Magnificent beast!

You know, these bears are so well adapted to water-living they are vertically aquatic mammals.

This fellow must have raised him/her from a cub. This is just like that fellow in California (?) that has a relationship with a Grizzly. I envy both these guys but would not have the courage to do what they do.

The fence in the background does not look like a credible way to contain a polar bear.

The pool seemed far too small. Presumably there's another around somewhere?

I did some research. The guy supplies animals for movies, tv, commercials, etc. He's had Agee since she was a baby Ice Bear and she's now 16.
