My Pet Story: Dasher and the grandkids

March 6, 2021, was a memorable and momentous day for my nine-year-old granddaughter Nushca and my 10-year-old grandson Vivaker. Nushca had always pined for a pet dog but her mother, a single parent, was not for it.

My daughter and her two children live in Bangsar, KL, but due to the pandemic, my wife and I invited our daughter and her two children to stay with us so that when my daughter is at work, the grandmother could keep watch over the grandchildren’s online classes.

We live in Seputeh. When we drive up Seputeh Hills, we have to pass a virtual jungle on both sides but now, on one side, the beginning of the construction of luxury apartments has totally obliterated the beautiful sight of glistening lights of the Kuala Lumpur metropolis.
