Why My Pawents chose a WFT pawt 1

When my Mommi was a little giwl, she and hew pawents had to escape fwom Hungawy and eventooally wound up on a twain to Switsewland with nothing but the clothes on theiw backs..they left theiw families and evewything they evew had..it was vewy sad, but they had each othew....
My Mommi and hew family settled in Switzerland(BERN), and Mommi had a gweat Chwissmuss with lots of toys to twy to weplace all she had to leave behind...
she had a ballet scholawship and became vewy good fwiends with the best dancew at the school..hew name was Silvie and was a few yeaws oldew than Mommi , but they became fwiends anyway..and soon theiw pawents met too

Silvie's wondewful family had a townhouse in Bern, a lake house fow summew and a chalet fow the wintew in the mountains...they also had a wire fox tewwiew called Vieli...the pawfect dog fow city and countwy alike!!!

This is a pictoowe of my Gwamommie and Silvie's Mommi walking in the glowious snow of a Swiss winter.....the two families became fast fwiends and spent all their vacations together


This was Silvie and hew fathew and theiw Foxy Vieli...thewe wewe lots of picnics, and hikes in the summews...Mommi was vewy happy thewe..Silvie was a fabulous dancew and eventooally fowmed a dance company with hew husband...she's now wetiwed and still goes to the chalet and lives in Bern and Spain and has a bootiful gwandchild even...Mommi says time goes too fast.
this was Silvie's Daddi and theiw little VieliSilvie and hew Mom at the lake...Vieli was aways whewe the action was.swimming,hiking, sledding, skiing...the pawfect doggie




this is my Mommi hugging Vieli...little Vieli went evewywhewe with hew while she was at the Haemmig's..and she wanted a foxie of hew own, but soon they had to be wefoogees again, so she couldn't get one, but.......
Mommi knew that someday she would have a little foxie too and hew life would be pawfect just like the Haemmigs'
Vieli cwossed ovew the wainbow bwidge a vewy long time ago ,but planted a seed of love in my Mommi's heawt that nevew went away, and that's one of the weasons my pawents have a WFT...sometime I'll tell you anothew weason

NOW I TAG SOME OF MY FWIENDZ TO TELL US ABOUT WHY YOUW PAWENTS CHOSE YOU..AND THEN YOU TAG THWEE FWIENDZ ..AND SO ON..OK???

I TAG:
RUBY BLEU

  8. What a beautiful story, Asta. I feel like i know you and your mom better now. Mom says one of these days she's gonna trade me in for a WFT or an airedale. I don't bite my foot over it much anymore because I know she's fulla crap.

  9. Astaroni!

    NOW I understand a little more of your foxy loveline. That wirey seed was planted very early in your mommi's heart (thank doG)! I'm so glad she knew & loved Vieli.

    Now that your mommi has you and your daddi, she doesn't have to feel like a refugee anymore. She's made herself a great home with her foxy little family (you're a foxy girl and my girl says your daddi is one foxy guy... so there).

    Can't wait for the other reason why you parents have you!

    Goober love & loads of smooches,
    Stanley

  10. Hey, Asta Girl!

    Stanley just jumped onto my account and posted a comment to your blog. Funny though, he doesn't look a thing like me, huh?

    I LOVE your story and send itty bitty goobette kissies to your mommi for opening her heart to you so we could know you and be frens. Hairy Stanley gives me your baby smoochies everyday and I can't do without them now. (You have ruined me, girlie).

    LOVE YoU!

  11. Sweetpea FB!

    I hope I didn't confuse you, but I was trying to get Stella off the pooter, and in my haste I forgot to sign her off & sign myself on. So, that first "Stella comment" is really from me.

    Goober love,
    Stanley

  14. Dear Sissy,
    What a beautiful story. It made wet spots on my Mommy's face. We go today to see if we are going to get me a live-in sissy. I don't know what to think. I will try and be on my best behaviour but Mommy says I have been too wild lately. I will let you know
    Love,
    Your brover, Nicky

  15. Oh Asta, that was a very beautiful story. How wonderful that little Vieli left her pawprint on your Mommi's heart so she would be ready when you came along. Vieli left a great legacy! I loved seeing those old photos, too.

  16. That is such a beautiful story. A little girl's live is turned upside down, and then saved by loving parents, dear friends, and a a wonderful little dog.

  20. hi Asta, that's a beautiful story, so well written with lovely old photographs. we did this tag a little while back for Charlie the poodle. unfortunately, our mom can't find any photos of her childhood poodle, Tony. she thinks about him every night when she goes to sleep and says a special little prayer for him. she didn't put the sad part about him in her post. she didn't want it to be a downer. Tony was a wonderful miniature poodle that was with our mom for many many years. she has always loved poodles because of her early relationship with Tony. she went many long years through college and after, before she owned a home, without a dog. she had birds but they aren't the same. and then finally, 4+ years ago, she got us, one by one. she loves us so much, but she still thinks about Tony and misses him. she is gonna look through all of the boxes in our garage to try to find one picture of him to remember him by. he had a sad ending that he didn't deserve... life was messed up for a little while... our mom remembers some things with much sadness and that will never change. we make her very happy, but we can't change the past. we will find Tony someday, when we go to the Bridge, and we will take good care of him again.

    woofers.

    pee ess - if you want, mommy will do a re-run of her older post about Tony. maybe she can make it better, but she doesn't want to make it sad.

  25. Thankyou for sharing the lovely, lovely photos and memories. There is a timelessness to them, as it is of love, beauty and friendship.

  26. What a beautiful, romantic story. All except the parts about your mom and her parents being refugees who left all behind to start over. But she made a lifelong friend and she adopted you because you were part of her dream. Sigh.

    Our stories are so different. We're all throwaways Jan rescued.

  30. Asta,Asta...what a bootiful story bout ur Mumsie and her first "borrowed" foxy wire. As much as Mumsie loves me and Babystan, foxy wires will always have a special place in her heart cuz she had one as a little girl. She used to saddle and bridle him and make her dolls ride him around the yard. (Frankly, I'd have bitten her!!!!)

    We loved the pix of your mom and her parents...what a lovely family!

    How was ur vet appt., Asta???????? Cough, cough...oh my...I seem to be catchin' a cold or have a toad caught in my throatie....

  35. Those old photos are so touching -- and the loveline, if not the bloodline, from Vieli to you is profound.

    Funny, but while I was walking Mom this morning, I saw her looking around at the beautiful -- now much warmer - landscape and overheard her thought: what if we knew, when we are going through sad things at the beginning of our lives and may feel alone, that we would wind up happy, with a good life and wire fox terriers to love. Would that make it easier?

  39. Asta, that was a WONDERFUL story! I especially loved all the pictures. How beautiful your mommy was, and all of that snow!

    I wanted you to know that I tagged you for a "7 random things" meme on my blog today. Purrs!

  40. I'm so glad that your mom still had her parents when she moved to a new country. Motch's grandparents were born in Switzerland and moved to the U.S. as young adults. She would like to go visit Switzerland some day to see where they lived.

    Anyway, this is a great story and it continues to have a very happy ending. Lucky you to be a part of this wonderful life!

  42. Oh Asta...You made both me and my mamma to cry ..with your beautiful story....we just love your ...heart.
    I feel can see your beautiful light shine...:O)))
    My mamma also is from far away, and sometimes so difficult for her ..because her heart longs for her home...she can go anytime...but since
    my "mormor" went to the rainbow bridge..it is very hard for mamma to go home...because she gets so sad that mormor is not there...(grandmother) and also not my morfar (grandfather)...and then it is me that cant just go on a plane...cause the people will make me sit in a cage, and then have to be in a kennel for 6 months in qaranteen ..or whatever you call it..

    I love you Asta...You are the bestest
