About Me

My photo
Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{World Animal Day started in 1931 in Florence, Italy}

October 4 is chosen as World Animal Day as it is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of  Animals.
Just like to introduce you to my previous beloved pets...
This is our canine Mauzie, my female Dachshund who actually came with me from The Netherlands to the USA!
Mauzie with Mira the Guinea pig in the doll beds that I had for my nieces.
A younger me with Mira and Mauzie.
Mauzie in the spring in The Netherlands. Photo taken by my brother Martin Van den Munckhof
My first kitten; Bartje - in  The Netherlands.
 Mauzie did travel with us to Paris in France, with my parents who joined us for a day. They always had to work during peak season in the greenhouses but I've helped them each summer during vacation with the harvest of gherkins, tomatoes or English cucumbers.
Here Mauzie enjoys herself in the Mediterranean Sea in the South of France. Mauzie actually won a prize for this photo; a dog breed encyclopedia... I had to be very fast to catch her as she swam back ashore, before she reached the sand.
Mauzie and Bartje with oldest nephew Eddy and oldest niece Monique.
 Monique loved Bartje to pieces!
Both, Mauzie and Bartje did sleep together in their oak pet bed with goose down duvet...
Pieter letting Mauzie help unpack something—which she loved!
She did live exactly two years with us in the USA and has traveled to numerous states with us.
Our very kind vet came to our home for putting her to sleep, she had cancer... age 12.5 but what a wonderful life she lived. MISS her.

  1. Niedlich, das Dackelchen, liebe Mariette! Und auch Deine Katze. Meine Mutti hat ja eine weisse Katze.- Wir selbst haben keine Haustiere mehr. Früher hatten wir aber Kleingetier, wie Wellensittiche, Mäuse, Fische, als meine Kinder noch klein waren.
    Um Hunde kann sich nicht nur einer kümmern, alle Mitglieder der Familioe müssen sie akzeptieren. Das klappt bei uns leider nicht. Mein Mann mag die Tiere nur in der freien Natur und ich heute eigentlich auch, weil sie auch viel Arbeit machen und man ziemlich angebunden ist. Denn jetzt wo die Kinder groß sind, will man schließlich auch noch etwas von seiner Freizeit haben.

    Ist ja niedlich, Mauzie auf dem Mittelmeer! Manche Hunde scheinen Wasser sehr zu mögen.

    Jetzt versuche ich es zum 3. oder 3. Mal, den Kommentar abzusenden ;-)

    Liebe Grüße

  2. Hallo Mariette,

    ich glaube, du hast dein Herz für Tiere schon früh entwickelt. Man sieht es schon, wie du als junges Mädchen den Hund hälst. Ich stelle mir vor, dass all eure Tiere glücklich bei euch sind, weil man sich so liebevoll um sie kümmert.
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

  6. Liebe Mariette,
    nun kommt Teil 2 :-)
    Und ich wollte noch sagen, daß ich es überhaupt phänomenal finde, wie Du auf Deutsch schreiben kannst! Ich habe zwar Englisch gelernt und konnte es auch mal ganz gut, aber man verlernt ja vieles, wenn man es nicht ständig braucht. So würde das für mich jetzt einfach zu lange dauern, in Englisch zu schreiben. Auch das Lesen ist oft anstrengend, so daß ich lieber den Online-Übersetzer wähle und das, was mir suspekt erscheint, nochmals in Englisch anschaue, damit ich alles verstehe. Freue mich immer sehr, daß wir auf diese Weise kommunizieren können. Andersherum wäre es schwieriger. Ich meide meist auch ausländische Blogs wegen der Sprachproblematik.

    Mit den Pseudo-Designern, das sehe ich so wie Du. Nun habe ich inzwischen ja auch die Bilder in Groß, aber doch die Fotos als solche nicht größer als 640x480 Pixel, alles andere ist eine Zumutung, was die Ladezeit betrifft! Und überfüllt nur unnötig das Internet.

    Ja, wir haben hier noch ziemlich viel Natur, im Verhältnis zur Stadt gesehen. Allerdings gibt es noch natürlichere Gegenden in Deutschland. Rund um uns herum sind auch hauptsächlich Felder, die bewirtschaftet werden und wenig wilde Natur ...

    Tiere mag ich ja auch sehr gern und könnte mir das auch vorstellen, aber mit meiner Familie klappt das nicht. Es hat aber auch alles zwei Seiten, wie ich schon schrieb, eine davon ist die erforderliche Zeit. Und da ich ja Kinder habe, habe ich nichts vermisst. Aber wenn ich meine Mutti besuche, sehe ich immer Kitty, das weisse Kätzchen, das dann immer meine Liebesbezeigungen "ertragen" muß :-)

    Viele liebe Grüße sende ich Dir in den Tag (überlege gerade, wie spät es jetzt bei euch ist??)
    Sara
