after mum's passing, i continued to visit my bro's family and played with the kids. i had taken it upon myself to help to develop them and be part of their growing up. and often, the kids would ask for the dog. and so during one of my overseas work trip, i asked if i could trouble my sis-in-law to look after the dog. she agreed readily, telling me that the maid would look after her and that the children would be more than happy to have her stay over. and that was the arrangement for sapphie. the trip was a 2 week trip and things went well. sapphie had, by that time, weakened considerably. but she got along pretty well with the kids, especially my nephew.
the last time i left sapphie there was when i went to hong kong. i had asked my sis-in-law if it would be too troublesome to leave sapphie there. of cos not, she said. the maid will look after her and the kids would really love it, she said yet again. and with her affirmation, that was what i did. i didn't know until much later than my leaving her with them would become an issue that contributed to the souring of the relationship with my brother and sis-in-law...
