 Ginger

Episode #7

The only way Ginger knew to show his affection was by pouncing on the person with all his might. So much so that when we were away on a vacation, we had to leave him with Jayan’s sister Valsu, who was recovering from a surgery. Her health condition worsened when we had returned from vacation.

Somehow (just didn’t fall at his feet in the middle of the road) got him back home and struggled to chain him back. 

This was the limit! I cried to myself. That evening we decided...
